There are a lot of things that bugs me:
Let's start with the "hot" stuff and continue from there:
1) How can suddenly RAM size be increased with no production delay and cost (and still some other things are delaying the production)? I thought that the circuit board design and the components to be attached to it were already finished and ordered.
2) How is it possible that the LCD supply had not been investigated in beforehad and every else component are availabe (like the new RAM chip)?
3) Case is still being prototyped?!! Selling out a handheld gaming device that doesn't even have it's case design finished is dramastically peculiar..
4) EvilDragon doesn't have MK2 board and he's a developer of the product??
5) The Pandora was originally supposed to be finished at august (if I remember correctly) and is still being delayed more and more for always new different reasons
6) Why there is such a rush at getting all the money to the bank accounts? (the PayPal stuff and all) After all I was in an impression that the developers had all the funds arranged and no debts.
7) How is it possible to increase the production from 3k to 4k even if not knowing of the LCD supply, not having the case ready or practically (suspectedly) not knowing that every other component, including the processor, can be supplied in time and in volume?
8) Why haven't I seen any video with the circuit board with all the components fully assembled together? Could someone of the developers post a video showing all the stuff at once? This far the videos have shown the screen (which could practically be displaying stuff running from any device) and the cb next to it. Controls have been done from elsewhere of the screen. Show me the complete setup how you're running the Pandora.
9) How is the assebling going to be done and where if the case design is not finished and production is ongoing?
I've seen other oddities in this project also but am not going to list them here and neither starting a discussion about them.
Everyone, please, comment on me about these, especially the developers!
I'd also like to see the blog to be updated a lot more frequently. I was astonished when I two days ago looked at the forums and someone spoke something about too lille LCD supply and I had to go through a few posts untill I found out what was going on. I want to see this stuff in the blog. Well, I'll also be looking at the forums more often now. I surely wish that the Pandora is a real device that I'll be owning one day, I've bought it in the pre-order after all. But I'm also sceptical (major reasons listed above). Hopefully everything turns up fine.
