It should be interesting to see it working with the internal keyboard which is probably what some people want to see. I can type at like 90 wpm on a full sized keyboard, but I bet as soon as the buttons are small (and with no labels!) I'll be hunting and pecking like a muthaf.... uh well you know.

With no lables it'll be like the training typwriters they used to have.

Let's get it on the front page of Digg! (I also posted this on the blog).

Now that the FDM Case seems to fit nicely, there is no time to wast for the CNC Case. I hope it is already in production or at least close to ready.
ED once sayed, thet the final plastic Case can be produced within a few days so I really hope, the Mass Production starts as soon as possible.

Holy freaking crap that was sweet!

I don't agree. The CNC must be done before the tool is made IMO

Just wow! Been watching for ages, only now do I post. Well done to all involved. Almost makes me want to dust down my progging digits;)

Agreed. If not, then why pay out all that money for CNC if you're not going to use it as the final prototype.

Considering MWeston said that there was no space for the latch of the battery door because it was too small a part on the design to make for the FDM I think making sure CNC works before making the tool is wise? Not that I know anything about this hardware stuff, but seems like a common sense thing to me...

Congratulations to the team - this is excellent.

The CNC is being ordered on monday.

But it will just be a shiny version of the same thing, we really want to move ahead now and not delay this anymore.

Awesome, can't wait!

Congrats!!!

I'm very happy to see the prototype in the flesh. This is very exciting.

Well done! Great video (great for what it shows, bad bad camera ).
Thank you MWeston!!!

Waiting for the CNC and a better video with Angstrom and/or PSX emulation via USB Joypad...

P.S: Is the PSX4Pandora project completed or it's going on?
I asked this because ZottD used to make a lot of video of his past releases...

To be honest, I have never tried the Angstrom builds because I have been worried it is a complicated process and I have to reformat a memory card with an ext2 partition and stuff like that. I will talk to DJ Willis about it and see if I can get something going before the weekend.

EXT2 is easy, just use Gparted;)

Awesome... progress progress progress!

Me no regrets!
