The Pandora in its full glory- pics and vids

[wraggster]

Evildragon has posted a video and 2 pics of the pandora in its near finished state and boy does it look bloody good.

Heres the Video:



and the pics:





Heres some additional info:

I've got two more sneak preview renderings (in HiRes!). Still not finished (real life work is still a lot at the moment), however, looking better each day.
"What's not finished in this render?" you may ask. Well, the keyboard layout is not yet the finished one, we're working on it and it will be included as soon as we're finished with it. The same goes for the printings on the case (SD 1, SD 2, etc. We might use icons for the functions).
Apart from that, it should look very close to the finished model.

also this:

While mentioning the finished model: As I told you yesterday, Michael got the FDM case and put together a first test unit. Everything fits! He didn't have much time so he taped the case and didn't put a working board inside, however, that will follow soon. Then we can actually show pictures of a working board inside that FDM case! Time to go for a real CNC case!

I have to say even though the device is going to be limited to developers creations it still looks SwEeT
If this is somehow able to emulate windows xp at some point in time then it will be a very useful device as you would probably be able to run farcry with that processor
That is if this box ever gets released

hehehe, the greatest scam ever. But it makes you wonder why the scammers are using this much time writing about progress and showing pictures and all, but I guess you can still order it.

IF and I emphasize IF this ever gets released it won't be worth 1/3 of what you preorderers paid for it. Yes you have probably been seriously had.

Pretty elaborate for a scam don't you think?

Well, thanks for your (really stupid) insight.

I couldn't tell if you were being serious, there =S.

If the atom processor inside actually performs well then it should be able to play farcry + many other pc games at minimum settings if windows could be implemented
But because its a linux based device it wont actually be a real pc

I think you're confused on a few points, man. Unless you're just doing this on purpose. Nevertheless, it is not an x86 Intel CPU, it's an ARM CPU. CISC != RISC. Also, why should a Linux distro discount it as a real PC? It's not meant to be a full-blown PC, anyway =S.
