180 $ compared to 80 $'PoisonedV' said:the a320 shares much of the same market as the wiz.[/color]
If it were really similar would anybody spend 100 $ more ??

They wouldnt. Thats sorta the point.

We need to embrace all open devices right now, the bigger our open user base the better.
No one wins niche console wars. We need to unite and crush the closed handhelds! CRUSH THEM.
I thought you said we weren't competing against the PSP/DS.
'Auritribe' said:That is the million dollar question though, will it make our user base larger or merely fragment the one we already have???
Right now it seems to only be fragmenting it.

Hell...even if the open handhelds 'won' or even came close to 'crushing' the closed competition, the big companies would go crying to the ESA and then theyd bitch and whine and lobby and ruin the whole operation anyway.
Id rather keep things right where they are.

if everything is in one place how could it fragment it? We'd see more code sharing & cross-platform apps & whatnot from devs because they only have to go to one forum to keep current with all of them instead of multiple ones where others from the scene might not even be there. Also saves the end user from having to register at multiple forums & get stuff from multiple sources. I think craigix' veiw of 'us vs. the world' is a good way to look at it. If we fight amongst ourselves we all loose.'Auritribe' said:That is the million dollar question though, will it make our user base larger or merely fragment the one we already have???

This is only assuming every developer also has every system and is willing to dedicate time to it. Or rather...theres enough developers with enough time to keep up to date with the ports.
Still...these are issues that really wont be affected by the choice of a forum addition anyway. As Ive said above..for better or worse the outcome will probably be the same.
I personally dont care if it gets added or not. I just want to enjoy my games and posting here passes time.
edit: actually...as a future owner of the a320, I obviously want the forum added. Im just stating my observations and worries about the community as a whole.

They wouldnt. Thats sorta the point.
For the hardware OpenGL, EXT port, OLED screen, better volume controls and full-sized SD support, I would, and am
I agree that they share the same market though, just different ends of it.

I am too...I just dont know about everyone else...

ORLY? That's some foresight ya got there....
anyways, i hope it'll get added, craig seems content enough to get it done though.
I'd actually really like a Wiz as well (if that screen-tearing thing gets taken care of). Should be ordering an A320 tonight, can't wait to see what it can do.
If you want to live your life being overtly negative, good luck to you. From experience, I know that being consistently negative for no apparent reason will only close doors for you in life. Being positive opens doors. I'd like this community to open its doors to the A-320, as I think it's a fantastic handheld. I want more people to play with it, develop for it, and have fun with it as much as I do. Long live the Dingoo.'PoisonedV' said:I don't really care either way cause I know it will fail.
