This. This is the attitude I don't understand.
Choosing a better silkscreen design will have NO IMPACT on the delivery date of the Pandora, so what's the big deal? Why not change it? What am I missing?
That was the only aspect of the design I said was debatable. The rest of the design I feel...
If there's anything to be said about the OP community, it's the bewildering amount of utterly unwarranted optimism. If things go well, it will be a relieving first.
I don't understand the total disregard for the silkscreen design. I realize it isn't ultimately an important detail, but it is...

CraigX is a lying bastard, and the entire OP team is suspect as well. Pandoras were estimated to ship by LAST CHRISTMAS. That was an ABSURD "estimation" -- so absurd that they MUST have KNOWN that it was a STRAIGHT UP LIE. If they needed the pre-order money that badly to keep the project alive...
Ideally yes, but there is no guarantee that all of the Pandora's components will be available for the second go-round. Changes might have to be made that are, as Monk said, beyond their control.
I see where you're coming from, but I have to disagree. Engadget is an absolutely terrible blog -- the writers are morons and Apple-fanboys who never seem to manage even reasonably unbiased or somewhat informed articles.
But I visit there every day -- because they post gadget news. I like to...
