It is always good to get an update, especially when it is about progress being made. The news coming from the place of assembly at Craig’s, is great news to hear.

New Twitter from Craigix:

Up and Pandora’ing. Built some units and just working out the fastest assembly line.

Another Twitter:

Hall looking tidy, building long bench down the middle from an old kitchen.

Sorry for the picture quality, best I could get from the video.

Craigix is still having issues posting on the forums:

GP32x is dead to me. Can’t even get there via google DNS, the IP, a different computer, a different router. Weird.

We still haven’t been let in the front door of the app store (name pending), but as of today we can follow progress from a slightly different angle. Craig was wedged a Twitter API into his store code, giving followers a live feed of new additions to the catalogue. You can follow the dedicated Twitter account, or if you think Twitter is dumb, just grab the RSS feed.

EvilDragon has also been turning over the tweets, with a string of OS updates over the past week:

Standby mode working, battery LED blinks on low power, shuts down on critical power and display goes off when closing lid. Thanks devs!

A quick way to run an app: Press Pandora-Button, type in part of the name and press Enter. Works nicely in latest OS with XFCE4

Wooot, fullspeed movieplaying (not yet hardware accelerated) with the current image for DVD Quality movies. Okay, 720p x264 doesn’t work

Just finished keymapping for X11. Now ALL keys do work fine. The buttons are mapped to Pg Up / Pg Dn, Home, End for easy text editing

Oh, and Shift + Upper Firebutton is mapped to Compose key, so people can now also type special characters (tested and working fine).

A micro update from EvilDragon’s Twitter account.

We got a tracking number! It’s not yet in the UPS system (always takes some time, even longer in China). Good news, I’ll keep you updated!

End micro update.

Craig posted this on Twitter:

Final boards are being ordered this week….

We heard you liked blogs, so we’re microblogging the blog. On the suggestion of Benjymous, the blog has been piped into Twitterfeed so you don’t miss a thing while er, rock climbing and that sort of thing. Follow us here: http://twitter.com/pandorablog

I’ve just heard the FDM arrived and works really well, stylus, battery and all.

Heard from who? Michael Weston, we presume. No word on the forums yet from MWeston himself, but we’re riding the F5 key on your behalf.
