The PDD's have been passed around and demonstrated at several instructor meetings. About a dozen PDD's (Porno Delivery Devices) are currently in the hands of various LCA's for torture testing. This will be followed by the purchase of approximately 300 more for all the LCA's. Finally, all crewmembers will be issued PDD's on a fleet by fleet basis.
When this will happen is still not clear. Also not clear are the ROE. Who pays for the thing if it gets broken? Gets lost?
I've heard that there are problems with wireless updating of LIDO info.

Last but not least.
Since the Boeings are getting EFB last, it only makes sense that we will get PDD's last to make sure every leg is a surprise when you show up to the jet. This is only after making sure the $#%^&$ ramp computer doesn't work so good, since it is usually being used as a leg for one of the broken down recliners.

Usually it's one of the ramp office's POS old PC's running Windows 98 that is in the Pilot's planning area. About 2 years ago a huge number of black Dell PC's were sent out to various outstations for placement in the pilot flight planning rooms. Look around. Several outstations opened the boxes when they came in and saw that spanking shiny new black Dell PC and quickly installed it somewhere else and put a POS in the pilot room. Several outstations did the right thing and put them where they belong but about an equal number that I've seen have ended up in the ramp offices.
and not in the "fun" way!
