Yes there have been bumps, but I'm confident they will ship a finished product.
Consumer-wise I don't pre-order except in real-life stores when I feel sure they will deliver. It is rather a down payment then though.

I hardly buy hardware right when it comes out. It seems to me that I'm a beta tester then, paying the full price. Might as well wait a while after the hype cooled down.

If I could buy and receive a Pandora right now I would either buy one now or buy one very soon --in time for someones birthday. Someone who is in need of a (mobile) game computers to play relatively simple games such as puzzles. BTW, previously this was scheduled for christmas.

That making a console from scratch is a new direction for them is evident. But that is an explanation; not an excuse. And, that is partly my point. Nokia has experience with this. In all the major players in this field I feel that Nokia has the right balance between open source and commercial. Between choice of proprietary software and the freedom to modify the device and OS. Between service and integration (Nokia's Ovi is going to cooperate with Microsoft btw). I believe Nokia is able to deliver an open platform, which is aimed for touchscreen with a default configuration which is satisfying for a new user whereas allowing a hacker/techie to modify the product. I don't believe Apple can fullfil that role for me. They're too restrictive lacking for example something as simple as BlueTooth. Maemo, platform with momentum. And, a niche player would have a long way to go.

I will probably be one of the last of the first batch to get my Panda, due to some serious turmoil in my personal life ATM. Apologies for the relative silence, but I have rather more important work ATM. In fact, I'm going to drop off the webs completely pretty soon now.

The good news is that my escape from Belgium seems to finally nearing its end; the bad? No house, no money, no time. If you try to be honest, you apparently are merely the first to get robbed...

Scratch "apparently". It's a known law of the universe at the quantum level.
