First newspost coming FROM the Pyra!

[Ian J]

Excellent news, many thanks ED.

I think based on needing MOQ and the 4G requirements that a Kickstarter would be the best way to go, that way minimum figures can be dictated and assured before production begins.

Wondering how ram size and eMMC size factors in.

Well, RAM won't change, price is about 15 EUR for the 2GB, for the eMMC we're now checking the prices, and especially the MOQ (maybe we can offer different sized versions).

I'm not clear how running your own preorders where users select that type and region they want when preordering is any worse at finding out how many of each can meet the MOQ. KS may give us more publicity, but that's a different benefit.

Wonderful news! I'm also curious how much more the 4G units will cost, once it's known. I don't plan to use 4G a lot, put I just might get one for the heck of it, just to have a fully tricked-out Pyra.

 

[Autumnos]

Wooo! The Pyra is coming!

I'm wondering the same, last time I checked (While ago) 4G radio's where pretty expensive.
Although, I have no need for another GSM/LTE device. With my Work phone, Personal Phone, and now the Pyra all in my pocket/belt.
All I'm hoping is that We get the option for a Clear Case...

Hi all

@EvilDragon : very good news indeed ! Thank you so much for all your hard work !

Cheers, Magic Sam (posting from Odyssey Web Browser, running on MorphOS 3.9 / iBook G4 )

Niiiice

The addition of GPS that comes with the 4G alone is for me more than enough reason to spend a little extra. 4G is not just 4G

 

[Stainy]

I want GPS, not 4G... looks like I`m getting the 4G version

 

[Klumpen]

 

[Alperoot]

Oh my god! I am so excited for this! Btw, the non-4G models doesn't include a 3G module, right?

 

[Swordfish II]

Wondering how ram size and eMMC size factors in.

My dream pyra would be:

4G, 8GB, smallnubs, 128GB eMMC (possibly larger), no touchscreen, gray (colour not so important).

700€

The 1080p screen.

800€

Singlewide space.

1000€

You are still harping on this? Leave it alone

He is just stating his wishes. Who knows, if enough people do this, they may become a niche in a niche, to address would be financially viable for ED ?

@ED
Awesome, still gathering money, hope I am able to gather enough before the preorder process starts.
What additional sensors will the 4G model have ? Due to financial reasons, I was already leaning towards the "cheaper" model. Would be nice to know what to loose additionally (to the GPS modul)

 

[mius]

Singlewide space.

1000€

What does the "singlewide space" refer to here?

 

[error]

Well, RAM won't change, price is about 15 EUR for the 2GB, for the eMMC we're now checking the prices, and especially the MOQ (maybe we can offer different sized versions).

Please figure out what options will be available before you start taking pre-orders. I don't want to regret being an early adopter because I could have gotten upgrades if I'd waited.

 

[Swordfish II]

Except his wishes have taken up 8 or 9 pages in a different thread and he continually posts them everywhere. JUST STOP. We have what we have. Either you want it or you don't.

 

[Blue Shadow]

Great news!

What does the "singlewide space" refer to here?

A space key at the width of normal letter keys. So this is also a slightly hidden wish of a different keyboard layout (as this will add one additional key) and would also require another keyboard mold.

So comradekingu placed that wish at the 1000€ section for a good reason: even at this price tag that would be very unlikely to happen.

There's a thread (or two or hundred) for such things.

Exactly. But in order to answer mius' question, i thought it would be slightly overkill to mention it.

Well, this is always the "risk" of being an early adopter. However, thanks to the modularity of the pyra, future upgrade would be relatively cheap as you just have to order a new a cpu board to upgrade the processor and RAM.
