Pandora On Engadget

[Karas]

Just caught this on Engadget. They've followed this project for a while (actually how I heard about it) and seem to like what they see in the newest vid.

Also, compare this thread to the Gizmodo one;

Much better than that pile of rubbish Gizmodo put out.

 

[(naw)mcx]

Hurrah!

I could not look at the comments in the Gizmodo site.
Rage got to me.

 

[TaG]

Laughter got to me - twats. Never normally visit gizmodo.

BTW Notice the big fella with the beard? Reminds me of someone...

It seams that doing PR is an ugly job sometimes

Looking at the replies:

'Who keeps funding these companies?'

Nice to know he bothered to look in to the Pandora before writing his comment

Finally intrest from an other source!
Yahoo!

P.S: However it's not the first time that engadget makes an article about Pandora.

I wonder why some of the commentors on the Pandora seem to have such a hate-on for the device, usually while displaying they don't actually know anything about it in the first place. Like "just get a DS". Is there something I'm missing here as someone who isn't into the Linux/gadgets scene? :blink:

Because they think it makes them sound cool to their ill-informed readers.

welcome to the internets, where people vent (most often their own stupidity).

Forget the big sites, GP32Spain has some users who have serious hate for the Pandora and that's kind of part of our niche device scene. See the thread on the recently released video there, slightly depressing reading. It's not all of GP32Spain though, just a select few, I know we have some great followers there and I enjoy reading the non-bashing posts.

I don't know where the hate comes from or why, it's probably many many reasons and sources. Some people seem to be actively working to make us fail too, like emailing google and paypal to 'tell' on us and try to get our accounts frozen/banned.

I guess it's just the old Sega vs. Nintendo shit from years gone by. Some people just don't grow out of it.

I think they hate because THEY ARE STUPID. Ok enough said lol. Nah, I think they hate it because it isnt made by Gamepark holdings.

Btw just read it. You don't need to unsterstand spanish to see the fact they hate. Maybe they are just jealous on Craig

 

[TaG]

I thought GP32Spain hate Pandora because they think Craig is the devil, splitting the scene or some such.

Pure envy Humans react that way, it's stupid, but it's just the way it is :rolleyes:

I'd forgotten about that, it was with the GP32 and Zodiac wasn't it? And that I was going to kill the GP32?

I never even got to sell the Zodiac. I think we managed to import 5 units and that was it.

Maybe we didn't involve them enough in the Pandora evolution, maybe as you say it's just an historical thing. It's a shame. I hope once we get a Pandora to a few Spanish devs things might turn around.

 

[Mithrildor]

Well Craig they are right about something thing. The upper part (the part gback of the screen) isnt the most beautiful thing in the world. But anyway its about its prestations and those are really high.

I just imagined myself ranting 10 years in the future like: "Now that eveyrone and his dog has a Pandora console, how about Pandora 2? you know, I need to use my crappy 2 year old phone to connect to goldtooth, because it has both bluetooth and goldtooth and I managed to tunnel through that".

Sorry that was OT, it just made my laugh for a while.
