My pandora has arrived and it's a thing of beauty. I thought it would be bigger but it's a tiny little thing and it's awesome, I've not done anything on it yet bar test if it's working and just briefly checked out the 2 gui's. I'm gonna check out some games on it now, just popped it on charge to charge it up first. It comes with about a half charge so you can jump straight in.

The case is really good, I was wondering how it would turn out but it's cool.

The carry case with it is really nice aswell but it's a tight fit but I'm sure once it's been in and out a few times it'll loosen up a bit. I did order a tv-out cable b ut it didn't come with my pandora so I can only assume they're not ready yet, either that or they forgot. I did ring up but couldn't get an answer. The sd card was a Kingston 32gb class 4 so it should be ok. There's even a cool battery box to stick your extra battery in if you ordered to, I only got the one. As you can imagine I'm dying to have a play so I'm off. The pics where taken with my iphone so they aren't great quality.

All in all it's a FANTASTIC thing of beauty and I can't wait to see all the games and stuff fill up the apps store. I'd like to thank mweston. craig, ed and all the other guys behind this, it's been a wait but it's been worth it thanks guys :)

Why are the pictures so gigantic? I would understand if the iPhone took high quality pictures, but that res makes no sense with that Picture quality. (Not faulting you)

You are so lucky, congrats!

Congrats puppydee. B)

Now this wait is torture. I'm in the first 350, I can only imagine how painful it must be to be in the back of the line. But I'm glad those of us who waited are getting a quality item.

Lol, you're probably right but hey I was in a rush, my pandora had just arrived and I wanted to play, although I haven't really got much further than play due to my dns issue which hopefully I'll sort now I've got some instructions. I haven't even played a single game on it yet :)

Why does the screen look shockingly bad? It doesn't look that awful in the videos!

your right! and his desk is really poorly coloured and grainy too, and why have the case company made a case which is clearly out of focus!

The screen sucks! Puppydee's desk sucks and the blurry case sucks!!!! oooooorrrraaaaaaggghhhh!!!

Same reason everything else in the picture looks bad. The iPhone takes shitty pictures.

Nothing wrong with the screen, the case, the hinge, I got a little muddled, the screen locks a flat. I thougt it was ment to lock like a laptop so I was wrong and I thought I'd just mention that, this is an amazing machine and you'll all be well pleased when you see it. I apologise for the crappy iphone picture quality but it's the only camera I have and I wasn't in the brightest of rooms and I was in a super rush so I could play with it for a while, well the whole night actually. Trust me, you're gonna love it!


I've just wacked the earphones in and the music is as clear as a whistle and has PLENTY of volume. As clear as my ipdod if you ask me. I'm impressed! Just need to get my wifi working now. Hoping to sort it tomorrow but I'm sure we'll figure it out. This machine is amazing honestly, just a shame I'm a noob when it comes to linux but I'll get there in the end :)

Thanks for sharing puppydee. From the sounds of things the screen is very clear and crisp I can't wait :)
