Just caught this on Engadget. They've followed this project for a while (actually how I heard about it) and seem to like what they see in the newest vid.

Pandora on Engadget

That's really positive =]
Also, compare this thread to the Gizmodo one;

Much better than that pile of rubbish Gizmodo put out.

Hurrah!

I could not look at the comments in the Gizmodo site.
Rage got to me.

Laughter got to me - twats. Never normally visit gizmodo.

BTW Notice the big fella with the beard? Reminds me of someone...

Looking at the replies:

'Who keeps funding these companies?'

Nice to know he bothered to look in to the Pandora before writing his comment

Finally intrest from an other source!
Yahoo!

P.S: However it's not the first time that engadget makes an article about Pandora.

I wonder why some of the commentors on the Pandora seem to have such a hate-on for the device, usually while displaying they don't actually know anything about it in the first place. Like "just get a DS". Is there something I'm missing here as someone who isn't into the Linux/gadgets scene?

Because they think it makes them sound cool to their ill-informed readers.

welcome to the internets, where people vent (most often their own stupidity).

Forget the big sites, GP32Spain has some users who have serious hate for the Pandora and that's kind of part of our niche device scene. See the thread on the recently released video there, slightly depressing reading. It's not all of GP32Spain though, just a select few, I know we have some great followers there and I enjoy reading the non-bashing posts.

I don't know where the hate comes from or why, it's probably many many reasons and sources. Some people seem to be actively working to make us fail too, like emailing google and paypal to 'tell' on us and try to get our accounts frozen/banned.

I guess it's just the old Sega vs. Nintendo shit from years gone by. Some people just don't grow out of it.

I think they hate because THEY ARE STUPID. Ok enough said lol. Nah, I think they hate it because it isnt made by Gamepark holdings.

Btw just read it. You don't need to unsterstand spanish to see the fact they hate. Maybe they are just jealous on Craig
