It's pre-order day!

The relevant info will be in mailing list emails to be sent around or after 2pm UK time

WANT WANT WANT.

[Paulando]

Yey!

I'll pre-ordering today, just because I can.

[Dr Derek Doctors]

Wooters-McHooters! Although vexingly my bank balance was a sickly shade of green this morning despite being paid - need to find where some money has disappeared to...

[ngchol]

I'm preordering too! The site's looking wobbly though and the email containing the link is being sent anytime between now and 3pm...

[debsss]

Ta da! We're now taking orders so be quick kids.

[Paulando]

Well where's the page? I haven't had an email.

EDIT: Oh, is it just OpenPandora.org? It's broken!

times out when you calculate final price and check out.

I managed to order one fine, along with a case

If it's shit, I'll sell it as R@RE.

Do they take the money straight away or when it ships?

[Strawp]

PREORDERED!

I haven't been this excited about new hardware for ages

I hear the site got Dugg, which accounts for the slowness. I think all that did was to dilute the ratio of actual customers to site visitors. Of course the Valley have barely logged on yet today otherwise they'd have snapped up a load I bet.

Still haven't got the mailing list email though

Looks like immediately

bugger that then I'm broke.

[ngchol]

I've got my preorder confirmed - and that's all that counts.

[Dr Derek Doctors]

Dingdingding! Pre-ordered!

[Strawp]

I'll be interested to see what the stats are on orders in the first 24 hours.

[debsss]

Sorry, money does get taken at the time of the order - thats just the way protx works.

Website is timing out a bit but just refresh and you'll get there eventually

'sup treacle?

[Blu3Flame]

So tempted. Have any pictures of the final build been released?

[Dr Derek Doctors]

No, although only because it doesn't exist. They've still to have the cases made and only have the prototypes at the moment which look odd and cross-hatchy.

Oh, I thought the site wasn't working.

Maybe I'll get one! Who needs money anyway?

[darkwave]

I had to get one. It looks too good!

Now I can't believe how far away November feels.

[Strawp]

This is the most recent one I've seen:

Who needs money anyway?

Not me! It was money that got us into this financial difficulty in the first place

[Paulando]

I can't wait to see an actual photo of one, although the renders look pretty ugly it has the potential to be a great bit of kit. Touchscreen? QWERTY keypad? Dual SDHC slots? Bluetooth? Dual analogue control? A huge (by handheld standards) 4.3" screen? The specs do it for me.

It'll be the fucking daddy for emulation, and could quite possibly replace my EEE PC for full web browsing while 'out and about', but I guess I'll have to see how the screen measures up first.

[sentient]

Ordered one this afternoon. Very happy!

Sales figures seem to be fairly low, but that was during the period where the site was barely working. Here's hoping they sell them all.

It already does fullspeed Amiga and Snes emulation, which beats the PSP!

[Strawp]

The first thing I'm going to do is load up Sinclair OS.

Then I'm going to program:

10 PRINT "Strawp is skill "

20 GOTO 10

Then I'm going to find homebrew software written for speccies.

Then I'm going to load up chuckie egg and maybe lever off all the keys except Q A O P and Space.

Load ""

[SaintM]

Can't wait for "Tux Racer DX".

[debsss]

Can't give exact figures or I may be fired but lets just say we had a brilliant first day
