Looks like I spoke too soon last week; by mid afternoon on the Sunday we'd lost two US 4GB preorders, and then on Monday morning we lost an EU 4GB one too. It took until Wednesday night before two US 4GB preorders returned.

As above, the preorders were split as follows:
Non-cellular units: no change
US cellular units: no change (-2+2)
Euro cellular units: -1 4GB unit

Now that prototypers have had units for a couple of weeks, I'm starting to wonder where the cool vids are, though I guess all those guys also have day jobs. I'd still like to see a video of a unit booting from cold mind you, just to prove any doubters wrong.

A quietly effective week all in; one EU 4GB pre-order made on Tuesday morning, then a standard non-cellular 4GB unit on Wednesday night, and that was that.

As above, the preorders were split as follows:
Non-cellular units: +1 4GB unit
US cellular units: no change
Euro cellular units: +1 4GB unit

Maybe Ptitseb's awesome shakeycam video of a non-vapourware Pyra prototype booting up did the trick. or maybe it's a week with no big Switch releases - I've not checked. It's slow progress for sure, but at least it's heading in the right direction more weeks than not.

That, ladies and gentlemen is our joint best week for almost three months!. And that even includes one cancellation*!
We started off with a US 4GB preorder in the early hours at the start of the week, and we got another of the same later that day. And to keep things rolling, we got a preorder for a standard non-cellular 4GB unit at breakfast-time on Monday, and one for a 4GB EU unit for lunch. But just after that ED processed a cancellation for a 4GB US unit, so perhaps someone decided to go for a non-cellular unit instead, because one of those got preordered in a 4GB configuration that night, in the small hours CEST, and later that day we received a preorder for another

As above, the preorders were split as follows:
Non-cellular units: +3 4GB units
US cellular units: +1 4GB units (+2-1)
Euro cellular units: +1 4GB unit

Just imagine what could have happened if that had continued past Tuesday! But it feels like a while since we've had serious action outside of the extended weekends, so we're best off taking what we can get and being thankful for it.

* The last time we got 5 preorders net in a week, that week had two cancellations in it. But the time we had 6 pre-orders last, in April, we had no cancellations, so in a way we're doing as well as we were then.
 
Our Pyras we await - it's week 68!

A big week for 2G units it seems. We had our first order for one with the EU 4G chip on Tuesday afternoon. On Wednesday night we got a preorder for a 4GB EU unit, and on Friday night we received the final preorder of the week for another EU 2GB unit.

As above, the preorders were split as follows:
Non-cellular units: no change
US cellular units: no change
Euro cellular units: +3 units (+2 2GB, +1 4GB)

I've not read the various news reports that came out on linux websites, so I'm not sure what triggered the sudden orders for 2GB units, but it does mean mine will be less rare if they ever do come out in that configuration - mine is currently one of eight units, as opposed to one of six last week (and technically speaking, there should be about 500 EU mainboards sent out, but only 25 2GB CPU boards, as opposed to 23 last week). And that marks the best two week period since April!
 
A stitch in time - it's week 69!

Back to a diet of 4G units this week, and a big week for networked, 4G units. Sunday morning saw the first EU 4G unit pre-ordered, and the other came by on Monday evening. We then handed over to the US, and received a pre-order for a US 4G unit on Tuesday afternoon, with another coming in just a few hours ago, to round us out for the week.

As above, the preorders were split as follows:
Non-cellular units: no change
US cellular units: +2 4G units
Euro cellular units: +2 4G units

That marks the second week with no cancellations, and with ED currently being kept busy at Gamescom, makes me wonder if there's not cancellations waiting for be processed, but for the time being that's a decent week all in. No German pre-orders spiked by the gamescom appearance yet, but I'm not sure ED is all that focussed on the Pyra there, with all the other stuff he stocks these days to show off.
 
I would be that Tuesday afternoon US 4G Unit order. :) (Currently) Unit #1091, US 4G 4GB #231.

I've followed Pyra for years (I'm a Pandora owner as well), and I was weighing Pyra against a PC upgrade (the core of my PC is from 2011 - it's time) and a monitor upgrade as well (that's even older - 2007, not even true 24-bit color!), but the monitors I want to upgrade to won't be out until next spring at earliest, and so I might as well wait for the new PC until then as well (especially since Intel's new CPUs will be hexacore at the i7 level).

I was a bit worried that it wouldn't go through on my debit card (as it tends to not be happy with international orders). I didn't know it did it via Paypal though, which made it a lot easier and pretty much guaranteed that it'd succeed. I thought I'd had some bitcoins sitting around in my wallet, but I didn't... so I had to do it "the hard way."

With that, it made it easy to preorder the Pyra, along with another voucher to cover the remainder of the balance and (hopefully) the shipping cost as well. Based on the shipping costs from ED's information page on it, I should be good for anything up to 1.5-2kg of weight, and I doubt that the Pyra with all of its stuff will weigh that much.

So as far as I'm concerned, the order is done and simply waiting for mass production. I know I'll be one of the later runs, but well, that's understandable. It's still a "unicorn" in the world.

The rest is just sitting and waiting, and wondering what sorts of goodies it will eventually run. :)
 
I'd be the second US 4G Unit order at the end of the week lol. I'd tossed the idea in my head for over about a month before annoying the people on irc with questions about the Pyra. I thought it was time to finally go after a truly mobile device I can do everything on. My card doesn't like international orders either. I had to call up my card number to inform them it wasn't fraud.

I'm just hoping that getting the pyra won't be terribly longer than the first batch that goes out. Already have a list of programs I want to try to compile for the Pyra but waiting for the device to get out of development and ship before I start working on it. Much better to have the device in front of me to test after compiling :) Can't wait! (ok ok waiting impatiently lol)

A busy little forwards and backwards week this, with a little progress to show. On Sunday lunchtime, we kicked of the week with a pre-order of an EU 4GB unit, and on Monday afternoon we heard about a standard 4GB unit preorder. It all seemed to be going swimmingly when on Wednesday lunchtime a preorder for another EU 4GB unit was registered, but that afternoon, two standard 4GB units cancellations were processed, and on the Thursday evening another standard 4GB unit was cancelled, taking us back to where we started on Saturday night/Sunday morning in terms of the total number. All the positive progress that week could be ascribed to a 4GB EU unit preorder received on Friday dinner-time, and another of the same on Saturday afternoon, but that's probably a pessimistic outlook on the situation, see below.

As above, the preorders were split as follows:
Non-cellular units: -2 4GB units (+1-3)
US cellular units: no change
Euro cellular units: +4 4G units

We did only end up two units further towards any future target, but we did exchange three standard mainboards for four Euro cellular boards, which is a more positive way to look at the stats, and probably means ED will make a slightly better margin on the sales. And on top of that he scored another non-cellular 4GB pre-order. Maybe the people who saw his stand at gamescom have decided to join us in anticipating the release of the Dragonbox Pyra!

A busy week, mostly in the wrong direction unfortunately. We started off on Monday night with a pre-order for a EU cellular 4GB RAM unit, and followed up on Tuesday afternoon with a non-cellular 4GB unit pre-order. It was on Wednesday lunchtime that showed the sign of things to come, with four 4GB RAM EU cellular units and two US cellular 4GB units pre-orders being cancelled. On Thursday afternoon, US time, a pre-order for the first US cellular 4GB unit came in, then in the early hours this morning, two non-cellular 4GB unit pre-orders were cancelled, but that didn't stop us, with a US 4GB preorder coming in a couple of hours later, mid-evening time in the US I reckon.

As above, the preorders were split as follows:
Non-cellular units: -1 4GB units (+1-2)
US cellular units: no change (+2-2 4GB units)
Euro cellular units: -3 4G units (+1-4)

Cancellations are likely to increase as the total units pre-ordered increases, with people less invested in the project than we are joining the queue, only to see news articles describing why they're not getting their units like yesterday, and not seeing it all as part of the journey and a story to tell our grandkids down the line.
 
I feel like some people jumped ship to GPD. However, over 1000 still hold on to the journey. And what a journey it is. Making a device is more complex than I thought and even my most pessimistic estimates were broken.
I kinda feel what the technical team of the Xbox, for example, with the ring of death problems must have felt when they gave in to pressure from management to get it out NOW. Pyra can not affort such problems, so that means very high quality is asked from all involved.
Also, though not 100% it is pioneering work (as other like Raspberry and many more paved the way). Others will come, maybe use the files and make their own device? Ideas here were about a new soc, a new keyboard mat, etc...
In the end: If you build it, they will come. So it is important to have money for a full run. Once they are out... word of mouth will bring more.

You see that type of pressure in all projects that have deadlines. We kinda have the xmas deadline. And I feel like I could do more for the people involved, but have little free time. But I can cheer them on!

It ain't over 'till the fat lady (fatter than Pandora) boots into 2 or 4 Gib! (and plays an .ogg song in $mediaplayer)
 
Some of what @FBnil said made me think of Odysseus being tied to the mast. Is ED trying to listen to the Sirens (or maybe it is the rest of us).

To contrast with last week, a very quiet week, although still in the suboptimal direction, unfortunately. The only news to relate is ED's team processing the cancellation of two 4GB EU cellular units on thursday evening. No positive preorders at all happened in the last week.

As above, the preorders were split as follows:
Non-cellular units: no change
US cellular units: no change
Euro cellular units: -2 4GB units

I guess it's a fact that there's been no official news this week, though we did have some pictures from gamescom (and one or two featuring Pyras). Now, there have been less cancellations this week than last, but at the same time it didn't cause anyone to find out about and preorder a pyra. But I guess I should remember that I didn't plump for a Pandora preorder back in the day until I saw a prototype running a few emulators, and most software work is going towards making the basics of the OS and a development environment at the moment, so emulators and other software is still largely for the future.
