    Faster delivery/upgrade - Craig's orders

    Wow! Okay, the state of things makes a lot more sense now. I assume a significant part of that loss is all the time and materials that the previous contractors pissed away while we waited for production to start in earnest.

    Faster delivery/upgrade - Craig's orders

    Actually this (the whole post from Binky) is the most coherent thing I've seen written about the production situation in a long time. I'd seen a lot of details on the PandoraPress.net blog but I'm not terribly business savvy to distill those details to a summary. I had actually stopped reading...

    Building My Own Pandora

    I was blissfully ignorant of the fragility of the Pandora insides until now... Pandora, Sausage, and the Law. If you like it, don't inquire too much in to how it's made.

    200 Finished, Some One Nubbers Available

    So on June 10, EvilDragon made the following comment on the official blog: So how does ordering the next 3,000 cases as stated above relate to the next three batches of 1,000? Does this mean the next 1,000 are already working their way through the factory, and the factory's painting...

    I Haven't Canceled My Order

    Yea, I gotta go with Hobbyman here. I'm quite happy to have my order and I wish I had the money to buy a few more for gifts (Yes I know how much they're going for on e-bay, but that's not the point), especially to my dad who's a big Linux geek, I think he'd get a kick out of the hardware, and...

    Shipping On The 4Th?

    Honestly, I don't care about the first assembly dates, I don't care about any Pandoras in the first 1,000. It's nice progress and all, but 3/4 of the preorders are not in that first 1000, so I'd wager that 3/4 of your customers primarily want to know about Pandoras 1,001 - 4,000 of which there...

    Icontrolpad Updates!

    I think Apple is full of shit, but they've been that way for a long time. I don't think that what they're doing is "Fine", rather I'd like to see competing devices grind them to dust precisely because Apple engages in this shit. Win or lose in court that's not the problem, and it's rarely the...

    Icontrolpad Updates!

    Yeah, and most of those accessories are general purpose and predate the iPhone (car chargers, belt pouches, mic/speaker systems, Bluetooth headsets, etc.). Your gaming controller, if their patent is as close to your device as you say, has drawn the attention of their IP lawyers, and it's...

    Icontrolpad Updates!

    DMCA is just the American version yes, but Canada and Australia have more restrictive versions in place that were adopted at about the same time, England has one similar but i'm not sure where it stands relative to the DMCA. Apple, being a U.S. company is involved in a dispute with the...

    Icontrolpad Updates!

    Lockpicks require a license to own, if you're not a registered locksmith you can be arrested just for having them because they have no legal use to anyone that doesn't work on locks for a living, so yes there are cases where that is the situation. And before the "But that's physical home...

    Icontrolpad Updates!

    No, the jailbreaking issue doesn't change the patent situation, which in the U.S. patent law "is he who patents first wins" with a few limited exceptions, and in recent years the U.S. patent office has been granting patents for things that otherwise should be included in those exceptions (AOL's...

    Icontrolpad Updates!

    The problem here isn't necessarily the patent of the iControlpad, this is just a shot across the proverbial bow. I ran across a few tidbits of information while responding to a post for an indie-gaming dev group I work with. The iControlpad requires a jailbroken iPhone. Jailbreaking is, in the...

    Any Case News?

    It could be any or none of the above. Most likely is exactly as jb0yxx states, take them at their word, that they update when they have something to update. My point in any and all is that there are reasons not to give certain updates. Any and all of it on our end is varying degrees of...

    April is here - so whats realistic :)

    The problem with not addressing the issue isn't simply one of the forums, but that people writing articles for Endgadget and similar publications get a lot of input from forum trolls who are more than happy to give it to them, and with that slanted view articles get written out of context about...

    Any Case News?

    If you (Dauric"] are right about their logic, I lose a lot of respect for OpenPandora. I'm far happier believing that like a over-dedicated engineer they'd rather be making stuff than talking about it. It can be tough to pull yourself away from an exciting project, even just to talk about that...

    Is There Any Difference Between Omap 3430 And Omap 3530?

    Trying to imagine holding a Pandora to my ear.. would it be open or closed?... Probably better as a video-conference box, or a "Cell-Phone Server" to bluetooth headsets. Still though, it would be great if someone could do this (probably not given the need for professional soldering machines to...

    New Iphone 3g S Has Same Hardware As Pandora

    The compatibility problem is the other way. Pandora doesn't support dual-touch or accelerometer data. You're looking at (2D screenx2, 3D rotation, 3D motion) about 10 axis of inputs that the Pandora has to emulate with 6 axis worth of inputs (2d screen, 2D nub x2). Again; it's possible to remap...

    Any Case News?

    Every time a twitter was posted on the Unofficial blog there were rafts of comments pointing out the possibilities. Even Gruso would have questions about the twitter in his article about the update. Most of it had to be clarified in the forums anyway. QUOTE I guess I'm just obsessed, and am...

    Any Case News?

    Because the trolls take that progress and plaster it all over the industry news sites, and that gives the Pandora a bad reputation that becomes a headache and nightmare for OPLtd. to counter, and of course no-one really believes the good news because it comes from the people who want you to...
