The parts delivery dates from EBV have always been dead on accurate. They are not some edge of nowhere Chinese company.
The cases for batch2 are already ordered and paid for because we EXPECT them to miss their August delivery date.

To make thing cristal clear (as I haven't always been cool with you), I'm a very happy customer.
And I realy do hope you'll not miss your delivery date.
No one likes delays. I am sure if Craig could get things out sooner he would. Things like this are complex, allot of moving parts (suppliers) and THEY don't always give accurate delivery dates. Then throw in a couple of volcano eruptions, dodgy Chinese parts, and you have delays.

also I have 3 more questions then off to bed :lol:

1. Is it possible to get somekind of tv input to record shows/movies through the pandora?

2. I know the pandora has bluetooth. Do you think its possible connecting a bluetooth nintendo wii remote to the pandora to play games?(p.s. it possible on ipodtouch/iphone/ipad.

3. Can I get a sony location free application for pandora?

There are plenty of USB TV tuners with Linux drivers. The only issue is that the Pandora can't (currently) handle playback of HD content. You could probably use it just to record the stream, if you had enough space on your SD card (16 GB will probably get you between one and two hours of HD video). There might be enough CPU power to handle standard-definition digital TV, and analog would probably work, if your country still does that.

Unknown. It has not been demonstrated yet, but it's possible that USB television capture dongle would work.

It is definitely possible. There are USB input devices that simply output an MPEG stream. The Pandora will have no trouble recording that MPEG stream directly to an SDHC card, and shouldn't have any trouble displaying it too if it is is standard def video. There may be a problem if it's a high definition tuner, the CPU may not be able to decode it fast enough to display it, especially if it does H.264 compression instead of MPEG, without the DSP.
So standard definition video is a yes, high definition video is a maybe but should eventually be yes.

They're going to people who already have preorders first, as a way of skipping the queue. If there are any not taken in this way, they'll probably drop them on ebay. You can try to buy one then, if it gets that far. I doubt it will though.
