This is a good thing. I am the same way, so if he can get it up to his own standards I probably won't have anything that I feel should have been improved. As Grench said, the keyboard is one of the most important parts of a device like this, and deserves the extra attention to get it right. (I am in agreement with you, and just adding on to what you said, as others did.)
Don't get me wrong, I don't care if it takes two more years to finish the Pyra (my current estimate is end 2017 to start 2018).
Yes you are right, perhaps I am focusing too much on the half of the glass that is filled with air instead of liquid.
Makes perfect sense to me. With the end in sight you start dreaming about all the nice stuff you can do with it, only to realize it is still just out of reach.
I am very glad he is, the Pandora shoulder buttons were horrible. Let him take all the time he needs and I'll happily complain about first world problems along the way
You know, there is enough material to do a documentary on it.
What would be gained from this? I don't think many of us would trust him enough to pay for a Pyra via him and trust him with that money for however long, even once they become off-the-shelf units that are in stock. On a personal level, I wish the man luck, but I get the feeling his talents don't lie in fulfulling orders and being self-employed. Maybe I'm wrong though - I get the impression he sourced a lot of gp2x units for UKians during those days. Either way, managing a project like the Pandora or the Pyra is not something that fit his particular skillset, it seems to me from afar, and I wouldn't trust him just yet to make trust him to supply me an order worth a few hundred quid.
I still think ED should talk to the computerphile folks (Sean at Nottingham Uni that is), when he has finished fettling the Pyra and is down to merely editing professional videos for TV and running a successful web shop, and assembling and repairing Pyras, GPD devices, and other bits and pieces. When he's merely doing all of that, he might have time to talk to Sean.
Yeah, but Craig lied to backers of the icp2. He told us units would be ready by december. He knew there was no chance of that. The nubs firmware, I think it was, or some m weston work was a long way from completion. No icps could be shipped in december. B.s. I paid him 600 dollars in good faith. He also ripped ed off to the tune of thousands. He never paid for the 1ghz units ed shipped him. I think maybe 150 units or so. Literally 5 digit figures. No. I would not trust him with money again. Not for the price of a goldfish... but things were never dull here on the boards with craig.
Here we go again. This thead is about status on the Pyra and not about someone else. Let's stay on track lol.
