3 month more than enough to produce 4000 cases.mali said:Nah, I don't think so.svs-57 said:I guess that reason of delay is not cases but WiFi driver.

I got a girlfriend, does that count as a problem? They're expensive, dude!jb0yx said:If you really need the couple hundred bones from over a year ago, you probably have more problems than not having a handheld when you want it.

Offtopic: Goto Design by Community to voice your opinions on what the next best Nokia phone should be.
This is round two, i think it would be awesome if the Pandora Community gave their insights.
You never know, maybe a Nokia Pandora could be made? :lol:
sorry sorry i didnt want you to hear this as a treat...EvilDragon said:borgqueenx said:So1e april only 500 will be made?
And the other 3500 a month later?
I want mine before summer holidays thats for sure. Im gonna be mad and cancel if mine aint shipped by then.
Those cancelling threats do nothing, they get a bit boring now... we all are aware of how close to edge we are and you can be sure we do everything to finish the units as soon as possible.
I nearly had a breakdown this weekend because I had too much stress and work at the moment, so it's no real fun for us, you know?
Anyways, that 500 for a start is nothing new, if you read the blog post, it's even stated there for over a week...
I've heard this thing of, if you can't wait for whatever reason any longer, you didn't understand it.sverm said:I don't think those who are tired of waiting (to the point of wanting to cancel) understand the true nature of this project.
Isn't that the same with the devices you mentioned, and pretty much any device though?sverm said:Pandora isn't just "another handheld" that plays in the same playground as iPhones, Archos, N900, you name it. This is a unique device. Granted, it may have similar rivals, technologically speaking. But it will be as timeless and ageless as the tasks it was designed to do, be it emulation, media playback, web surfing, native homebrew, etc... For instance, in 10 years, if your Pandora is still in good phyisical working condition, it will still emulate the systems it did when it was released (and maybe even more).
Further rant. Flame bait warning.

If you want to cancel and just get another toy instead, then I'll bet your closet is filled with every toy from every handheld generation, ranging from Coleco Football all the way to every known variation of DS and PSP, not to mention you probably change cell phones every 6 months. If you think the Pandora is just another Gameboy, UMPC, DLNA or Bittorrent Server or iPod Touch, you've missed the point. You'd probably be happy with an iPod and its countless apps that all work perfectly, right out of the box.
If you're afraid that it will be obsolete by the time it is released, then perhaps you don't plan on playing any emulators on it. Most of the systems it will emulate have been technologically surpassed for years. Personally, I think the idea of vintage system emulation and software preservation is widely misunderstood. Look at how long the Commodore 64 was king, despite its 1MHz processor and composite TV resolution. Or the Spetrum, or MSX, for that matter. Look at the amount of software that came out for these platforms. By the time the Commodore 64 hit its 10-year anniversary (~1992) it had tens of millions units sold, despite being in a world where multi-megahertz machines 25 or 33 times faster in clock speeds were greatly increasing in numbers. The point is it did what it was meant to do and still did it well, and better than a lot of other stuff out there.
The Pandora is a serious machine, and it requires serious commitment. I'm not encouraging anyone to cancel their orders. Stick around. This box is going to rox your sox. But if the amount of time you're willing to wait is any indication of the amount of time you'll be using your Pandora after it arrives, perhaps you've chosen the wrong device. If you're expecting gigahertz, gigaflops, gigapolygons per second and the end-all, be-all machine that will emulate the Playstation 4 and be able to re-code BluRay, 3D or HVD video in real time (not to mention scale it to SVideo format) then you've wasted something. Time, money, whatever, it's your call. It always was your call to begin with.

The only WiFi fix will be software. these boards are past the point of no return for hardware patches.Klarth said:I'd wait 6 months to get mine with fully working WiFi since I can't send it back to devs if the fix is not software based.
