What's it officially going to be called?

[bagmouse7]

I vote for "less than 2 months"... But I guess many would not get the joke.

 

[Neelix]

Just a suggestion but I think it would be pretty cool to call this thing the "Aftermath Edition" as it kind of plays along with the idea of opening Pandora's box. Once it has begun, it cannot be stopped.

I really like that for some reason. +1

How about "Pandora Giggle" like in "Gigaherz game-laptop-experience" and because it pleases a retro-gamer so much that he/she might giggle out of joy and happiness.


Actually my first thought was "GigChick", as in German I call the device "die Pandora", which is female. Maybe not everyone likes the idea of calling it a "chick", though.

As a side question, what will be the model number on the battery compartment sticker? 1003?


(Got curious about this after receiving my silver '1002' Pandora today.)

Doesn't that make you the 1002nd ReBirth Unit?


My hope is ED has different stickers for new 1GHz Pandora, otherwise things could get tricky for those of us doing repairs having a few dozen units laying around.


Global Components had a small white sticker on the PCBs for the 1GHz units, because there was no way of differentiating those from the old OMAP thanks to the SOC.

Isn't the board labeled with "Pandora REV X"?


Anyway I vote for Pandora 1.5

Yes, the boards are labelled, but the processors are indistinguishable once the RAM is added IIRC. So telling between a OMAP 3530 & DM3730 is not possible.

No sillikins. You know the Pandora model number on the sticker? All first batchers are 1001, the 512MB units are 1002.

The Giga versions are all labelled 1337.

 

[calc84maniac]

Confirmed: These units can reach clock speeds of 1337MHz.

Next weekend the 1Ghz unit will go 'official' and launch via the new website.

So will we be seeing the new site this weekend?

Yes, well, probably, we don't want another 'preorder hell' on these so we might hold off a little more, or at least until we know it's fewer than 4 weeks until they are ready to ship.

This one gets my vote... That is some serious nerd humor


Otherwise how about the Pandora Giggity (preferably also with some kickass acronym as Lomaxx's)

 

[superatarian]

I like the name Pandora 1G. When is this new site going to be ready. I also hear that this new system is going to have a new case. What is that going to look like?

 

[Nintendo]

4G would sound better.

 

[Binky]

the ASA wouldn't like that...
