Also, I think this long thread should be turned into its own forum. Something on this very website, perhaps? Would an admin be willing to do something temporary until Craig decides whether or not to host his own forum?

If they won't, I will. I've got a LAMP server waiting to be used, and connected right now. What kind of forum software do you want?javaJake said:

I don't think there's been any confirmation as of yet, no. All we do know is that Craigix is in talks with TI. Make of that what you will. No, I don't know anything more myself. Craigix is probably under NDA or whatever, if things have gone that far. Hopefully we'll hear something in a few weeks or so.cappuchok said:
As for the codename, it is, of course, Project Bumblebee

OK I know this won't be included in this device since it would cost a bunch but imagine this. http://www.ns.umich.edu/htdocs/releases/story.php?id=6084

I removed the bit about SNES emulator performance because a) that was on old hardware B) Squidge left out some pretty important details.
Heh, I wonder how many copies of SquidgeSnes it'll be able to run in unison with the OMAP3430.

That depends if you include the cartridges which had the special chipsets inside them

Oh yeah, a case made out of transparent aluminium would be neat...
Let's keep things realistic and within the £200 limit, shall we?
Hoping we'll see the official case design from Craigix soon-ish.

I agree with everyone else - it's better to keep everything in one place if we can.atomicthumbs said:If they won't, I will. I've got a LAMP server waiting to be used, and connected right now. What kind of forum software do you want?
I'm wondering whether or not the newsletter Craigix is sending out is the information he mentioned, or if he's going to give out information here, and then more in the newsletter.cappuchok said:

About the device exterior, I really hope it won't be all high-gloss like those annoying new "entertainment" laptops. Granted it looks great when perfectly clean but it's a real fingerprint magnet and the glare is too distracting.
On the other hand, while a satin finish like the one used on the GP2X gives a very professional look and doesn't attract ugly fingerprint marks in quite the same way, the satin finish wears off easily (especially around the action buttons). I do hope that the device will sport a satin finish but be "broken through" by brushed or satin metal pads for the high-wear areas like the action button platform and the D-pad area. Take a look at the Thrustmaster FireStorm Dual gamepads to see what I mean.
As for materials, a black magnesium alloy like the one used on Acer's business laptops might be nice if it can be arranged within the £200 "limit". It'd provide a very wear-resistant surface and could be matted to a satin finish that could take some wear without being rubbed glossy, and it'd make for a really durable device. Still, guess I'm dreaming, here.

If he did, it'll be in this thread, right? So this is probably the best place to look, rather than being idle and asking everyone else if he's done something

We are just tweaking the design as much as we can before showing it.
