    Dec Update

    Good rounded design. I would love the casing to be white as well.

    Blog Update 11/23/08

    I knew the financial crisis was coming. I sold my house in late 2005 and then shorted LEH, FNM, WM, and CFC for the last two years (although I didn't make as much money as I could have). However, even with my insight, I never thought it would affect the Pandora team. Good luck, and here's to...

    A Different Credit Card Refund Query

    I really enjoy my Virtual Card feature from Citicards. It autogenerates a one-merchant use number with a next month expiration date. You can even specify a spending limit. I wish all card issuers had that feature, it would cut down on fraud.

    Stock Gonna Be Like Wii?

    I've had the Wii since launch (stood in line for Gamespot preorders), but it's more of a toy than a game system. If Wii was the only modern gaming system out, I would think gaming is dead. I've seen the Wii be in stock over the last month locally. I know that it won't be the case during the...

    Questions About Case Eta, Orders, & Emulator Progress Predictions

    Wow, does anyone else feel this way? I expect that new versions come out all the time because that is the nature of software. But to hope that software is bad to start so that improvements can be enjoyed incrementally is nuts. I think you got me. I am going to believe that you were being sarcastic.

    Tv-out Cable

    I'm surprised this many people want S-Video support. TV-Out would be cool, but I haven't had an S-Video capable device for years. I guess I could get a converter, but then I realize I intend to use this as a portable device.

    Pre-order Problems

    I wouldn't worry. I didn't get a confirmation email until several hours later. (I was worried that I typed my email address wrong.) I still haven't received the pre-order newsletter (but I have gotten Pandora newsletters in the past).

    How To Order

    Thanks. Ordered! This was better since the newsletter isn't in my inbox yet. I can now go back to sleep. :)

    Ubuntu Is Going To Take 1.5 Minutes To Boot On Pandora?

    Thanks for posting a video of the boot sequence of Pandora. It looks like it takes roughly 1.5 minutes to get to the login screen. Will there be any improvement on the boot time? If so, how good could it get? My DS has spoiled me. It takes me less than 10 seconds to get into a game. My 4 year...

    Protecting Your Pandora

    The clamshell is self protecting. For me at least.

    Pre-orders, One Week Away!

    I've been checking twice everyday for updates for several months. (I didn't register until later.)

    Article In Linux Devices...

    When the Horizon's H-Racer got a few articles written about it, the manufacture got overwhelmed with orders. I got a delay notice and they said they would work as fast as possible to make more. The Pandora orders are going to flood in exponentially with more exposure. Once my friends see the...

    Sdhc Card Prices Plummetting

    My VIC-20 didn't have an HD. It only had 5KB, but I never ran out of memory. I wouldn't spend more than four hours on any one programming project. I was so sad when I got the red screen of death. (Seriously, it red screened when it died.) Anyway, I have a 8GB card unused from last year that'll...

    Over 3000 Preorders

    I'm guessing the number of units to be manufactured has to be known a head of time in order for the goods to be ready for us in the near future. The plant probably has warrants or other deposit guarantees that the raw materials can be purchased a head of time and have the assembly line/staff...

    Newsletter Received.

    The preorders should have a reasonable limit from the start. You know you're going to see middlemen putting in orders of 20-60. This thing will sell out in a few hours and a lot of loyalists will be pissed. I would suggest an initial limit of 2 per customer. If after 48-96 hours, there is a lot...

    Starving For Pandora!

    Applications are the main concern for me, but the dual analog gaming is what drives me to a must have. I didn't get a GP device because it lacked a keyboard and dual analog nubs. Before this device was announced, I always thought that Microsoft should enter the handheld market with a dual...

    What're The Terms And Conditions Of Purchase?

    While your logic is sound, I hope few people feel that way. If everyone was on the fence, then it would flop. All I need is enough community support to get the unit running with Firefox+Flash, MAME, and Java and I'd be a happy camper. I'd be able to make my own Java apps if nothing else.

    Starving For Pandora!

    I will preorder the moment I find out that I can (27 days to go). I would prefer the white case, but I would get the black if that was the only option.
