In a nutshell: there aren’t any answers to the wifi question just yet. MWeston is now running some hardware tests.
We had a long night yesterday in IRC where we thought about all possible issues how to find out what could cause the slow speed.
Michael is going to modify a board to be able to read out the debug data from the module itself, that might also help a lot.
Regarding the first boards produced: As it looks like right now, Michael will test the debug output and then we’ll either let the boards we have already ship immediately (if he doesn’t find more about it) or will let them apply a fix if he finds out it’s hardware and it can be fixed easily.
That’s the last thing we can try out pretty quick, if it won’t help, it’s shipping and assembling time!

Last week Skeezix extended an invite to any Toronto dwelling Pandorians, to join him at a pub for some grub and a hands-on with his Pandora prototype. WizardStan and Tempel took him up on the offer, skipping out on an office commitment or two and rather appropriately packing their own obscure gadgets. Here’s what they had to say about it.

When a photo of the latest board revision was posted a few days back, a handful of commenters pondered the possibility of a labelled version. The GP32X trainspotters had actually done this before, on a much older revision. So a new request went out on the forums, and the community got busy once again. And how! Click the image above and you won’t just get a high resolution version, you’ll get a space-age interactive experience with enough hotlinked reading material to sink a brick shiphouse. Thanks go out to all contributors, with special honours to wea0 for digging up the bulk of the part numbers, urjaman for putting together the clicky version, and LeChuck87 for re-hosting it.
Please note that this is 100% unofficial. It has not been endorsed or confirmed correct by OP Ltd. If you’re planning on building your own Pandora from this diagram, you’ll have to figure out what’s on the other seven PCB layers. Ha.

Ah, PandoraPanic, you’ve come so far. Since 2008 we’ve watched you grow, and it’s almost time to set you free. It’s a little bit sad, isn’t it? Hell no. It’s brilliant. Thanks to the tireless efforts of PokeParadox, MarkoeZ and a solid crew of contributors, PandoraPanic is ready for release. To mark the occasion, Foxblock has cut together a very tidy release trailer (and yeah, he knows about the typo). If you can’t wait to play PandoraPanic on the hardware you’re waiting for, play it on some you already have.

Just as a child can’t wait to open his presents on Christmas morning, so have most of us been sitting here, trembling with anticipation, waiting to open up our Pandora. Some people have claimed ‘Vapourware’, or that is an outright con. Well, some lucky children have received a late Christmas present, and their excitement is palpable!
For those who follow Craigix’s Twitter, you might has seen the following and wondered what he was talking about:

Cpasjuste has uploaded a video of Android running on the Pandora. Android is an operating system that was originally developed by an independent company and later brought by Google. Android is a popular operating system for smart phones.
This is my first attempt to port android to the pandora, touch screen support in the work.

Notaz has thrown together some tasty comparison images for us. Remember, that the screen on this Pandora is B-grade. This is not a final screen!
