I'M FULL OF IMPOTENT RAGE

19. The installed GNU/Linux needs to be polished for a satisfactory user experience, possibly including bug fixes in drivers.
20. Final OS image needs to be produced and tested.
21. OS image needs to be flashed into assembled Pyras.
Looks great, just please, for the love of god, don't paint or coat this plastic.
Yes. Perhaps when the hardware is ready, if a polished OS experience isn't ready yet, there can be a pre-release Pyra made available for purchase by those for whom the installed software isn't important. Then the other group who want / need a polished installed OS can wait until the "retail" release.I'm not bothered about this. I'd rather have the hardware as soon as it's finished, so I can help polish the user experience! Besides, there's no such thing as a "final OS image" - it will continue to be improved as time goes on. I appreciate that maybe some preorderers expect a fully polished device, but 1) I think those are the minority and 2) the more people have a device in their hands, the faster that work will go.
And I know this is quite a long wait - and honestly: If you ever consider starting such a project... don't. It's really really stressful.
And unless you are as lucky as I am having such an awesome community like yourselves being so patient and following every little step... well, it could certainly drive you crazy.
I honestly do NOT want to be in the shoes of some Kickstarter / Indiegogo guys when backers get impatient with all the delays...
Once more, I can only say THANKS!
We'll get there.
I like this idea, and I would be willing to receive one as early as possible, polished or not.I'm not bothered about this.

Hi all
I found out recently about the Open Source Harware Association:

In your opinion, would the Pandora and / or the Pyra benefit from being certified products ?

Lets hope they dont get crushed againProbably to achieve different looks, etc.
I don't know myself, they haven't told me
I want matted cases, not glared once. However, looking at pictures of the matte GPD Win which have been made with smartphones, it also looks very glarey, so I guess this is just an effect there.
I'll make proper pictures once I receive them,
