April News

It has been a busy month (only going to get busier) but the good news is that the first Developer Pandora kits should be shipping this week to pre-selected devs. Open ordering for these kits will likely be in May.

We are also hoping to make a pretty cool update to the blog very soon.


Just to give people a heads up...!

Thanks. I don't bother checking the blog anymore because it always ends up getting posted here anyways.

Wow, dev kits going out. That's awesome.

The pace of news should start stepping up soon now. It's always fun when a new platform starts up, so here we go.

That's pretty fantastic news. So this is the "first 10", followed by the "first 100" in May?

Yep, followed by the "next 3000". Then, god willing, we'll finally get to see the "final five".

Please, I need clarification.

The developer kits that will be available for preorder - these will have the board and essential compnents first, then we will get the case?

Because I want it soon, and I don't care if I have to assemble it myself as long as I have a fully-functional portable Pandora when all is said and done.

unless your going to be making interesting software you really shouldn't be thinking about the first 100, hopefully they will go to people in the community who have released great gp2x software and some random independent devs. I don't think there will be a shortage of developers who want the first 100.

I think atomicthumbs would be a great canidate for the first 100. He is likely to spend hundreds of hours tinkering with it and giving feedback. It would be good if the first 100 are mostly dev, but you still need some hard-core users.

^ Not a bad idea really. The first 100 could go out to say, 90 devs and 10 obsessives. Assuming there is some software on there to tinker with.

Would it be comprehensible though?

Is there an RSS feed or something that I could get for the Pandora. I could chuck it on my Google home page then.

There is one for gp32x.com. Major panda news should theoretically be announced on it...

Are we calling the Pandora "Panda" now? I hope not, Panda has been used as a nickname for so many devices I know.

I have the gp32x one on it already. It'd be great if there was a Pandora RSS feed.
