Doubtful. My sources indicate it's being built in a top secret facility under Cheyenne Mountain to protect it from commie attacks.

Time, maybe, not money.phrosty said:funny, made in NA, shipped to UK, then shipped back to me at NA. seems a lot of savings could be had by having someone in NA do software upload/testing for the orders staying in NA.

I too am having a hard time understanding this.

MWeston, the main hardware designer lives in Canada, that is the starting point.
OpenPandora first wanted to manufactor in Korea, the Koreans didn't understand the situation.
They tried it in China, it was the same.
There are manufacturers and distributors. Where you buy is not necessarily where the descrete parts have been produced. Something made in Canada or wherever might still have it's origin in Asia, that's how it works in a globalized world.
Question answerd, now lock :lol:
Edit:
Give Chip the chance to answer. He won't be online the next few hours. It's still night in US.
Chip isn't a dev, he's a GP32X moderator with seemingly encyclopedic knowledge about the Pandora, and he is usually right. Not in this case, it seems.-knowledge1234 said:Of course; it's never nice when devs contradict each other,
