Cannot find fresh info anymore...

Seems it hasn't clicked with this (interesting) little device...such a shame, given the limitations (and the delays) of the Wiz...

Waiting for a second batch Pandora now.

Hi to all the community,

Just received my Didj today, hoping there is a way to develop for it. $45 US on amazon. Anyone gotten anywhere with the source or filesystem or serial port?

To those who have a Didj and has experience in programing games. Can you see if you can get a homebrew app running on the Didj?

I bought a Didj over the weekend at Toys R Us for $30. I just couldn't resist at that price. I'm having a heck of a time setting up the install CD in Ubuntu though; having issues with both Wine and Virtualbox (USB version).

I found out a lot of info in this thread:

Thanks to Claude for your work on the Didj!

It's disappointing that Wiz software is not binary compatible though. Maybe the Wiz's Linux kernel could be ported to the Didj so developers only have to account for lack of a frame buffer and other minor hardware differences. The reason I think this direction is worth pursuing is that maybe the Didj could piggyback on top of the already well-established Wiz scene. The Didj scene (if you can call it that) is quite small at the moment; maybe 3-5 at the most. This would bolster Didj development and lead to more people making Didj software. Sorry if my post sounds a bit naive, I'm a programming student w/ minor experience. Anyone think this would be feasible?

This is cool, these appear on Woot.com all the time, I might get one now. Yesterday I think it was on Woot for $30 with a game.
