I'm going to continue referring to the PandoraMegaAppStorePlaceDownloadCenterBigThingyByteBinSourceFucker thingy as "The Box", no matter what.
 
I voted OpenBox.


The Box is used too much. There is a sattelite TV channel called The Box, there is a movie called The Box and here, there is a technology oriented newspaper called The Box. OpenBox retains the whole 'Pandoras Box' thing but avoids confusion.
 
@torpor
I'm just teasing a bit ;)
For a democratic decision you should preferably have an absolute majority(more than 50% of votes), so we'd have to make a run-off.

One important fact to consider is, that Craig doesn't like the box. He likes Appbox though. Here is where Appshack fits in, as Appbox sounds lame compared to Appshack.

I don't care much anyway, we could call it Osama's Dugout and I wouldn't mind :D

Why not compromise and make that PandorasBox since The Box is where people go for a cheeseburger.

As in Jack In The Box? Heard of that chain but as far as I know it's more of a west coast thing. Also, "The Box" sounds too plain, not to mention it's older slang for a certain part of a woman's anatomy! I say Pandoras Box.

Voted for 'None of the above, instead I'll type my vote' but then decided to delete my vote and go for 'Pandoras Box' I guess i like the idea of Pandoras Box as the pandoras logo can go before 'box'.

to name the marketplace of panodora anything but agora, would be blasphemous (and some hellenistic gods can be rather vengeful).

How true, however with this line of thinking "Open Pandora" Should change the name of the console from Pandora due to other Pandora's and the confusion. The Console should be renamed "The Box" before it ships then the software store could be called "The Content Store" Where you purchase content, for your box, supplied by Pandora (Open Pandora).
O.K. forget my original suggestion of "The PND Jar" cause after all, I'm not likely to be discussing the name of where I get my software to anyone else in so much as I need to say the name so it could be called "Uncle Craig's Tickle-Me Nut's-o-Plenty Software Emporium" and I'll likely never say the name to anyone anyhow.

It's not like an iPhone user...I won't be standing around 20 other Pandora owners saying "You have to go to Uncle Craig's Tickle-Me Nut's-o-Plenty Software Emporium and download this fart app, it's too funny!"

how about "the hollow cardboard cuboid"? Or would a wooden cuboid be better?

Sorry for my late suggestion. I'm sure its to late anyway. What about 'DApp store' or Pandora dapp store'

D = download, App = Application?

How does the PAD sound? Pandora Application Downloads?

Very good points, 'Pandoras Box', it is.

As you can see my reasoning for being against "The Box", then "OpenBox" is even worse (or better), sounds like a cheesy title to a porn flick!

How about the Outhouse?
