Some Hw Questions

[davidspayed]

I've been talking to openpandora.org about getting one of the systems from the "first batch". Does this mean that the HW is not finalized? I've read a lot about bluetooth lights, and beta d-pad membranes. I just want to make sure that I'm putting my $300 in the right place.

Thanks a lot... very excited about this platform...

The first batch will be the same has next batch, no prob. Maybe small change can be made between first and next if some big trouble are found, but don't worry the pandora team will do lots of test before launching the production of the first batch

The First batch will be exactly like the second or third or whatever: the full, finished Pandora.

Differences between the current prototype that we have seen in videos and the final model:
- The case will be redesigned a bit to make some internal components fit better
- The final unit will be black
- The lights, keymat etc will be fixed and of high quality.
- The keyboard will not have blank keys like in the videos, but instead a "glassy" cover with a proper keyboard layout on it.

Off-topic:
<--- Made it in blender and let it render over the night. It took so long to render because the original version is 1680x1050 pixels big

Yeah... very very high res as I can tell. Nice one.
