Another piece of the puzzle locked into place. A small shipment of AV cables has landed in Canada, and we present them for you here in ultra-modern digital photograph form. (You might notice that some images are still being hosted at the old blog address. Ignore that! You saw nothing!) Over to MWeston:

These are production samples and are exactly what customers will be getting. I just checked all the pins and they all go where they should. If I can get control of the TV tonight, I’ll try them out. :)

For those who came in late, the cable offers the following: S-video out, composite video out (you can use one or the other, selectable in software), stereo audio out, and stereo audio in.

AV Cables and July Release?

June 5, 2009

From MWeston:

I’m told production samples of the A/V cable are being built next week so whenever they are done, some will be shipped to me to review and destroy (well one of them for sure to check the internals and make sure they followed my guidelines). It doesn’t look like there will be a problem shipping these cables with your initial orders and as I mentioned before, we had to place a minimum order of 5000 cables so there are plenty out there if anyone wants to add it to their order.

I wish we could have just thrown these in for free like you get with those Chinese MP4 players but this thing was pretty expensive to make using the custom connector and the price even went up after the initial quote because they were obligated to use more expensive materials that meet environmental safety/recycling rules or something like that. At least the Pandora project is doing its best not to destroy the environment with its product! smile.gif

From Craig: (add the usual grain of salt)

I’m prepared to say July.

Update: More July talk.

I’m pretty sure on July. Unless something goes wrong with the dpad redesign we will be good to go.

Edit: What I can’t promise is 100% wifi compatibility, that’s still a work in progress, but it won’t stop us shipping as I’m pretty sure you are all capable of installing an updated driver.
