Wow! I am extremely interested in this project. One thing that I did want to use the Pandora for but never got around to, is a portable studio, specifically recording in a club/venue. Will the Pyra have a Line In and Out or would I have to use a USB soundcard?

It seems Line In/out won't be available because there isn't enough room for it, but there may be hardware hacks that could be done.  And of course USB works..

Well, I remember EvilDragon said something about Line-In being a possibility if we were willing to drill holes in the case. (It was in response to a question I had asked about having Line-In where the 3G module sits on non-3G Pyras.

Dang. I wouldn't really want to drill a hole in a £500 possession, I'm not that accurate! Pipe dream

Honestly, it wouldn't be too hard. You could always buy another case if you screw up. Also, since the design files would be released, you could even 3D print a case with the hole where it needs to be.

You sincerely underestimate my DIY skills mate! Maybe.

Back in 1998, I took a dremel tool and hacked out the optics chip of a $600 digital camera the day I bought it.. so I have no qualms with hacking expensive things.

But line in would also require soldering etc. If ED wants to do me a favour for a few extra quid when I purchase one however... ;-)

My original question had suggested that the non-3G version have line-in on the board where the 3G chip is missing. It was not intended to be a soldering job.

Oh ok, that makes sense. I would have little to no need for 3g anyway.
