The Open Pandora Development team are as professional as you can get for a bunch of Devs launching such a project as the Pandora
You are not really losing out as you still buy at the original purchase price
You need to bear in mind all the changes which have happened in the worlds financial...
Most of them games were nice concepts
But actually played pretty rubbish :(
Back when I had a Gizmondo, there were a few conceptual AR titles - but they were pretty crap - and yes you needed a camera to work
Now if you said VR games - using those Spectacles which project games like they...
Dont expect it straight away as the FX chip was notoriusly hard to mimic
Expect a decent SNES emulator quickly with th FX chip being emulated at a later date
More than likely,once the case an keyboard get completed, you then have usual christmas post slowing things down a wee bit followed by shipping from US to Europe, then Europe to the rest of the world. :D
Dude - your crazy!
Try a little patience, and contact them via email --> openpandorasales@gmail.com or gp2xmobile@googlemail.com
Or you can always PM Chip if you have real issues
Trust me they are a little overwhelmed at the minute and your stuff will get processed
its not a scam - trust me
Craig can usually be contatced using the GMAIL account
Ditto for the rest of the open pandora team
Just sit back and wait for the refund to clear - the bank details look cool, they are the same ones i used to update my original order
Just read that there is going to be a MK3 PCB for the Pandora - I think the post was from Evil Dragon, it stated that the MK3 would incorporate a Battery Fix and some other updates - one of which was to correct the un-sightly U21 hand-fixed IC connections the other I think was for battery...
Someone please work my order number place in queue
I expect it to be around 3,700 ish
I received my confirmation email (after paying by bank transfer) on 13 October 2008 11:17:31
I only received an email stating my place was in the first batch, but no confirmation of place/order number...

All pre-order pandoras were sold out way back at start of october
The original order page was here - you basically click on your location on world map from where you order based on your region

The second batch ordering is...
I agree its very good to see the fully populated PCB's :lol:
Whats really bad is that they are all stacked up on top of each other, and on a wooden surface
As I worked in contract electronics before IT, what I can say is that is a very bad thing.
You can pass alot of electromagnetic static...
I can beat that
I ordered on last day of pre-orders, paying by bank transfer, received an email confirming that my order was in first batch but no order number displayed
Initially I just ordered Pandora and special delivery postage to UK (ordered off openpandora not anywhere else)
For the...
OK I stand corrected on Quake 3 not being Open Source :?
Just remember that the distribution referred to on previous page was for angstorm, which would just be a arm specific shell app to enable the original quake application to run, it is not by itself a fully functional download of Quake 3...
depends if its open source
I dont think Quake 3 is yet - Doom 3 will be
Unless someone writes a emulator then has original ID files as source that might work, expect the order to be something like ...
Quake 2 - As a launch title
Doom 3 - When it becomes open sourced within 3-6 months
Quake 3...
Doubt it :o
These games need to be Open Source first before anyone can attempt to re-compile for the Pandora :ph34r:
I doubt very much that someone will port to Pandora unless original is open-source
At least you should be able to play some of them on some form of emulator
Playstation...
This picture seems to be more up to date than others I have seen in the past :wacko:
The others seem to have white shoulder pads
Do you have any more images of the pandora - as there seems to have been little updated on the blog over the past few weeks regarding case and final design
Sorry - forgot to add it all depends on what you want the pandora to do - if you want it to look like a windows OS - then get a flavour/shell in linux which mimics a windows OS, or take a risk an try and get a embedded windows ce/xp os which is arm compliant then get a cutdown office application...
While you are correct on x86 - you have overlooked that there is an embedded Windows XP OS and embedded Windows CE 6.0 which is designed to run on lots of smaller spec chips - it used in alot of kiosk type terminals - and it does come with an ARM flavour to boot
I know of images out there for...
I disagree :o
There is no reason provided drivers can be found that win XP could run off the device.
I have done this in the past with an EEE PC which i kept the base os on the Flash Drive and then ran XP off a USB stick.
Performance would an issue in the sense XP does neet 256-512mb just to...
