with the interest and time/talent (pandora dev related)

personaly ide be all over it, but im the first to admit theres better choices of people to get them than me atm :>
OK, thank you.
Not getting very far on it, are they !?
considering the fact they already (claimed to) have 4000 pre-pays.
I think people are going to have a long wait - as long as they dont go bankrupt.
I have real concerns for the sanity of some people over at GP32X :P
I have doubts that the Pandora will actually ship this year as planned. You would have thought that basic system (hardware) with software apps and GUI system would have been put into place before announcing pre-orders, not afterwards. Craig hasn't even got a real machine yet and this thing is supposed to ship in two weeks. I can see many a sleepless night ahead!
Whilst I'd love a Pandora, I decided long ago not to go for one of the first batch. Hopefully if there's a second run then all problems will have been identified and rectified and software will be available that makes use of the machine. I'll go for one then.
Grin i have real doubts about receiving it before 09 myself but i went into this knowing that was a distinct possibility. ive got some experience in the hardware end of IT related endeavors and if i wasnt willing to loose 330$ if this all went tits up, i wouldnt have jumped on board. but in the same breath ive used craigs site before and hes always been upfront so i have faith hell do whatever he can. Ide never say it on the other boards just cause of the flame potential but alot of the loudest voice over there should never have ordered first batch anywho they just have unrealistic expectations on something thats for all intents and purposes a hobbyist venture atm.
So their vocal demands or skys falling speculation dosnt exactly help the endeavor :> we'll see if it all pans out Pandora is exactly what i want in a pocketable device for my needs both work and entertainment wise. if it dosnt well back to looking around :>
Sounds just like my philosophy. Pandora sounds just like what I want and being an Atari fan in northern Sweden I'm used to be stuck without any support. I just was too buzy to notice that the preorders was on already. I'm looking forward to the second batch.
I don't doubt that the Pandora will come out, or Craig or his team's abilities. I'm just prepared to wait until all the hoohaa has died down and stuff to be available that works. I definitely want one though.
