Pandora Update News Desk
REMiXXX | 5:57 AM on 11.15.2008 3 comments



Pictured: Pandora orgy AKA pile of finished Pandora PCBs.

Over here in Pandora land shit sucked for a bit. We were told that we are going to have to wait even longer because of a few difficulties. First thing, the lack of LCD screen. The supplier has only supplied about 670 screens which is far from the 4000 odd needed. And then we found out that the company was moving banks and nearly ALL people using a credit card had to reorder, which spread fear and anger like butter on hot toast just before bedtime through the gp32x forums, the main Pandora forum. Every thing seems to be working out though, and refunds are getting through.

The good news is. The Pandora got an upgrade! It now has 256MB of RAM instead of the 128MB and 512MB of NAND instead of the 256MB that was intended. It's getting scary how close it is getting to the specs of my EEE 701, the Pandora is like a laptop in a case the side of a DS!

Any one with some leet programing skillz? Want a pre-release Pandora? Look here!

I would love to have one(for obvious reasons)
but the price and the availability stop me.

Aye, I was lucky to get one, and the price is quite high, but for what you are getting it's amazing.

Due to the upgrades the OpenPandora guys get no money off of it, the upgrades are from their on pocket!

I'll wait until it comes out before I decide, because I can buy an ACER Aspire One Netbook for about the same price and the Acer IS a computer, haha.
