I think your maths is wrong here, by my calculations for €500 a 5% Kickstarter charge would be €25 with the additional 3% transaction fees that would be €40 Again for the sake of clarity is this correct : If the cost of the Pyra was to be €500 via Dragonbox it would have to be approx €526 via...

So just to be clear : If I were to back the project via Kickstarter for $100 then Dragonbox would get $85-$90 after ALL fees were deducted? Are there any fees associated if the transaction is done direct with Dragonbox? i.e. If I were to back $100 you'd get $100 or is there a banking / currency...

Many thanks for that detailed response ED. I'm a bit confused by this bit : Do you mean that if you don't get enough pre orders direct to Dragonbox you'll consider using Kickstarter or you're considering a Kickstater for all pre orders as you think this could lead to more orders? Great news...

Hi ED, With the prototype phase for Pyra rapidly approaching and pre ordering to come some time soon after prototyping I was wondering what your thoughts were regarding using an established site such as Kickstarter / Indiegogo etc. for funding? It's appreciated that there is no right or wrong...

I was thinking about when using it during demanding games/applications where the clock speed would be above the default of 1.44Ghz, however according to this article even when the Z8500 is running something like Cinebench, which from my understanding should use the processor at 100% speed for...

Thanks Faust, had no idea that there was any Free Software (that's 'Free' as in : as per the terms of the GNU GPL version 3 or later.) on Steam. Good to see :)

My bet would be that the actual retail price of the GPD Win will be in the region of $350 based on the GPD XD typically being sold at 30%-40% below the recommended retail price. Supply & demand will tell in the end I guess. $350 is still something of a premium price for a Chinese handheld so it...

Wow, they've made their target already. Thought they might have to show some kind of Demo to do that after the slow start. I guess it's not too hard for a curious buyer to find out what to expect from a Z8500 SOC though. I think handhelds have always been popular in Japan, they had loads of...

Can't wait to see those :) Good to hear about the improvements over Pandora when it comes to charging the device. :) Does this mean that we're close to being able to discuss the cost / battery implications of the Ram & eMMC as per this thread?

Thanks for that ED, interesting stuff. The KB layout of the GPD Win is pretty baffling indeed, why they didn't split the keyboard and have the buttons that are currently on the right hand side in the middle (perhaps with a slightly oversized space bar on both sides) is a real mystery. Good...

Just thinking that before, surprised they've not made more about the decent level of performance of the Z8500, for instance turns out you can run Portal 2 pretty well (HP Tablet.2GB Ram Z8500). Not bad for a $22 SOC. It'll be interesting to see what happens when they have a prototype to back up...

+1 to this and long may it continue. This should be part of the official spec for marketing purposes :) ____________________________________________________________ I'm starting to seriously doubt that GPD Win will ship in October, it seems like they've not even finalised the design yet : From...

No, my logic is that just because 2 devices share the same base concept it does not mean one is a knockoff of the other. Do you consider the Pyra to be a knockoff of the Pandora? Not sure if you're fully aware of the somewhat convoluted history of Pandora but they (Pyra & Pandora) are not made...

What if you support both? I won't buy a GPD Win and will buy a Pyra but wish GPD luck, personally I think the market is big enough for both Pyra & GPD Win. There is no way the GPD Win is a 'knockoff' of the Pyra, the base concept is of course the same i.e. a handheld mini PC with hardware KB...

If you would rather pay for peace of mind then see if you can find a local PC shop that has been in business a good while and has a good reputation for support. Get them to build you a system, if you can tell them clearly what you want to do with it then they should be able to build you your...

What you say is true. My perspective was from the marketing side of things rather than the common sense side. However there seem to be quite a few 'gadget geeks' out there who don't like Windows and being the first handheld Steambox would surely generate a bit of hype. I don't know a lot about...

Hi Kendy, Posted this on your Facebook page today : Good luck with the GPD Win, looks like a great concept. A few tips to help you succeed : Show the windows interface in your renders with font/icon scaling enabled and set at perhaps 200% it will then look (and be) usable on a device with a...

Looks like a very good spec for $299, good to see they've gone with 4GB Ram and 64GB eMMC. Wonder what sort of cooling method they'll use for the Z8500, from a quick read round the web there are thermal issues with this chipset when used in a passively cooled tablet, can only imagine that...

My guess is that you asked them to remove the default firmware due to it seemingly being a front end for downloading roms. GPD then reflashed a plain Android rom using the default setting with the rockchip flash tool. I know when I reflashed a Rockchip device (Pipo M7Pro) in the past there was...

Not that I could find. If a 12.1" tablet would do it the the soon to be released Chuwi Hi12 might be worth a look. Seems to be similar spec to the Hi10 but with a higher resolution screen, bigger battery and a more premium style finish. Looks like a good bit of kit, not sure if it will feature...
