TV Out Cable Status
As quite a few people have asked about the TV Out Cable, I'll want to update you here.
The first TV Out Cable prototype we got was fully working - however, the company used some cheap EXT connector which wasn't really following the standard and was way too loose in the socket.
We had to convince them to use our good connectors, which fit perfectly and hold firmly.
They will do this, but this means another round of prototype cables is needed.
We'll have them in 2 - 3 weeks - and after that, it's hopefully mass production ordering time (which will then take about 7 weeks).
I'm positive it will be fine this time, as the cable itself was perfect, except for that EXT connector.
So it's not 2 months but 3 months away
New Forum sections
I've created two new forum sections:
First, there's the section "Old Preorders" in the "Getting a Pandora"-Area.
This area is where the remaining customers from Craig should head for questions about the preorder.
I'll also post monthly statistics of delivered units there as well as a remaining preorder number and an FAQ thread summarizing the most important questions and answers in one thread.
Guest posting is allowed there, as probably not every old preorder wants to create an account simply for asking a quick question.
The other new area is the "Guest Area".
Only non-registered members can start threads there (though members can answer).
This is meant to allow interested customers asking quick questions without having to register at the boards.
This is a test - if it gets misused with too much spam, I'll close it again.
Partly-Broken Units
Askarus is currently working at the DragonBox shop testing and assembling units which have slight defects (i.e. USB not working, etc.)
These will be fully tested, so you can be sure nothing else is broken except of what is mentioned there.
They will probably be attractive to customers who are mostly interested in gaming - or if you want a second (or third) Pandora and don't care about that slight defect.
We'll try to get these online in the shop from next week on.
