No it hasn't, and that's a dishonest remark to say the least. April/may has always been the release date for the developer versions, with june/july for the first commercial release of 3,000 units.JerryG20 said:
Sofar the developers have been right on track.

It's looking good but of course shortages or delays in parts etc. can always trip things up , the dev MK0 units are working and going out to devs now. Only when we are happy everything is working will we begin the 3000. We have always said this. We won't release something unfinished just to meet a deadline.

Logical, so what are you doing here, get to work ^^craigix said:
No, but seriously nothing worse than a release that isn't finished even if I really want it now =D
I can live with a delay, just not in the Duke Nukem 4-ever timespan ;P

I have a question.
What happens after the 3000 are sold? Should any of us that didn't get one (If this were too happen) have to wait a long time for another batch or will it be a constant supply?

Unfortunately there will be a delay after the first 3000 units but we hope 3000 will be enough to keep most of you happy while we set up production for more!

Slightly related to actual release date,
I'm curious what will actually be inside the packaging besides the pandora. How fancy of packaging are you guys shooting for? And is there anything you can tell us about the people who are helping fund this project?

No one is helping to fund the project outside the people you know to be involved.
I liked the GP2X Value pack box and something like that would be nice, but we are not going to spend a lot of money making a fancy box
that money is better spent elsewhere It will just come with a manual, pandora, cd and power supply.

Really? That's interesting. I'm interested to know how MWeston managed to design, validate, and fab the boards on a limited budget (being an EE myself). Do you think he'd divulge that info?craigix said:No one is helping to fund the project outside the people you know to be involved.

As for the box, I would agree. I think you guys have done a great job evaluating the needs of the design and what kind of fluff can be cut out. I don't know about others, but if you included what you said in the box plus a screen cover and a pouch, I'd be happy as a hornet.

The budget is not all that limited, the prototyping was done in the USA and was pretty expensive compared to China, as i've said i'm writing up the story of all this which will be posted soonish. Once i've cut it down from 50 pages in to like... 4.

. Biographies I'm not a huge fan of, but a detailed story of the birth of as amazing a machine as Pandora, I could definitely read .
