Finally managed to make a donation (was waiting for payday and then had a few Paypal problems), hopefully it will help keep things moving for folk still waiting. I got mine (original batch1 preorder upgraded in June to 1GHz Order No #60, all from Craig's shop) a couple of weeks ago thanks to donations from others.
It's a great piece of kit, video, music, PSX (this is particularly good thanks to Notaz and Exophase), Word docs, Spreadsheet docs, Remote Office (Remmina), Firefox & Midori, E-mail, USB Host and loads more all working really well. I've got Code::Blocks installed as well so should be able to develop on the go (haven't actually tried it properly yet but it looks cool!) If you look at my signature you'll see the handheld/portable devices I've had before and every single one of them has felt restricted in some way, not so with the Pandora (yet
) and the battery life has only been bettered by my old Psions which were brilliant little proper handheld computers at the time but had monochrome LCD's and little to no multimedia capability.
I don't know of anything else on the market with the same abilities as the Pandora. Also, I've had both tablets and clamshells and, in my view, clamshell is a no-brainer for a pocketable device as it effectively has a built in cover for the screen (no case needed) that also acts as a stand (you don't need to hold it all the time when watching a video or typing) and the hardware keyboard doesn't take up any screen real estate (really annoying when writing anything longer than a couple of lines on a small screen!).
Even with the delayed production I think it is still unique and if buying from scratch tomorrow I would still buy one of these rather than any of the supposedly better more modern devices with fast processors, short battery lives and tablet form factors...
