So did anyone else opt to wait on less expensive shipping to the US, or was it just me?

I got my email about the shipment arriving at Dragon Box Shop for the preorders. Was there a less expensive shipping option that was worked out? Thanks.

New update! This time it's on emulation: http://blog.pgslab.com/ Let's Litigate!

I think the Wikipad was one of the first to come up with this concept: http://www.wikipad.com/ I also vaguely remember the Razer Edge. AMD was proposing something similar as a concept, but it never became a product.

Meaning that more than likely the BI-918 was a copy of the Samsung B5200. I've seen images like these pop up a few times. The Samsung article is from 2006, so this was a Windows Mobile (6.0 or lower) phone that came out before the original iPhone and Android took to the stage. This would have...

People already do that with games now. I can only expect it would get worse with something like that. Took a look. This would fall under Chinese/Korean obscurity without decent US band support. While light on details, the OCS5 sounds equivalent to the Xperia Play in terms of specs. The OCS7 is...

All very valid points and I get that. The phone would most likely be too heavy for the hinge without some sort of locking mechanism. I have a clamp for my PS4 controller that has gear teeth with a knob that you tighten to lock it into position. Even with that, the phone is a heavy weight...

Yeah, sorry to bring that up. I keep hoping for something like that to come along again. Most gamepads for phones are bigger than the phones themselves and the ones that aren't require a stand for the phone. There isn't anything that connects to the phone all the time. And nobody is making any...

My first Android was a Motorola Backflip: It would close up like this with the keyboard on the outside: Spec-wise, it was in the ballpark of the original G1 Android phone but circa 2010. So it was very low-end, but it was the first that AT&T carried. The thing is, I loved the formfactor even...

Well I just preordered mine through DragonBox Shop. I tried waiting for Ithic (Is that "Link" that you speak of?), but their site has been under construction for at least a month and I didn't want to wait anymore. Plus EvilDragon gets the money directly. I'll be curious how the less expensive...

I'm done sitting on my hands waiting for Ithic to get their stuff together. I'm going to order my GDP WIN from Dragonbox.de directly. No more waiting around.

But now it comes in black! Or it will... Or it might... Well at least the renders look nice...

Going back to the original topic for the moment, I received an update email from PGS on the current state of things: So it still sounds like they're still trying to find engineers and manufacturers to develop a prototype. Not that this is very surprising as we all knew that to be the case...

Interesting. I wasn't aware of the UDOO x86. That's a rather neat board.

Maybe, but if I'm looking for new hardware, I would want it to run current software as well. Even Google Chrome doesn't support updates on XP anymore.

Had it become more than just a concept, I could see it making the list. Although it still looks like it would have needed a mouse: http://www.razerzone.com/switchblade/about

Sheesh. Because I forgot to make it extra generic and just say "expandable storage". I didn't intend ONLY MicroSD. Wow... Yeah. I don't know if we should count that. Look at the Start button. At best that is XP in Classic style. And XP is out. Plus, calling those gaming controls is a stretch...

Do you think I need to set a timeframe within the last 5 years or so? Maybe less? From an initial lookup, Andronium currently requires the phone to be charging and appears to cast the screen to the monitor. So it doesn't quite fit as it's not running off battery and not entirely self-contained...

Fair enough. It all comes back to what you are looking for more: Portable computer or portable gaming device. As there are plenty of Android-only gaming devices, I was trying to keep them from blowing up the list, but I do acknowledge that they could serve as an alternative to desktop computing...

Right. Didn't meet what I was looking for on the phone front nor x86 on the stand-alone handheld front. Although that would be a closer comparison to the other standalone handhelds. While it doesn't have a keyboard, it does have a full Android OS that doesn't necessarily need one. Although that...
