What about Google AdSense?
Done.[MODS] Can you change the thread title to "Pre-orders have started" or something similar?
I wonder: whats the Ordernumber of C**** "******* (the Furhat)" ********??
Do whe know if he also dit a preeorder??
Or is he gone forever??
I think the greatest factor to the lack of Pyra sales is the GPD Win. A x86 processor is much more useful than an ARM based one overall.
GPD put the 128GB version of the XD on Indiegogo, the 45 day campaign just ended. It got 20 backers. You heard that right, twenty raising $4,500
We have a believer!I will buy one of each and the pgs too.
Jesus Hippy Communist Zombie Christ...
Maybe he will receive one as a thank you.I wonder whether "He who must not be named" is aware of the Pyra and if so, whether he pre-ordered one.
TBF without his vision, the Pandora and thusly the Pyra wouldn't exist. Thankfully, despite HWMNBN's feck ups, ED managed to keep the torch burning
I would like it to happen, just like with the Win. I am more likely to buy one of them than the Win, too (if they have an official *nix version...not including Android/iOS, if they fall into that category for some people...). I don't know if they will be able to make it happen. I think I am more of a Pyra user, since it isn't all about games for me, and the whole physical keyboard thing, however I love all these great little devices, and wish there were more.We have a believer!
Assuming that it isn't an hoax - they are making exactly the same mistakes we have already seen in the original first production of the OpenPandora. If this won't simply get aborted (or declared as an hoax), it will have the same pricing problems as the Pandora and will result in about thrice the price but without the great custom software the Pandora has.I would like it to happen, just like with the Win.

*ahem* You mean "pre-orders," yes? Thus far, 0 Pyras have been sold, considering a final revision doesn't exist. Ergo, no Pyras are available to purchase. Besides, a pre-order can be cancelled at any time, for any reason, without a single Pyra leaving Dragonbox.
I am dissapointed that you didn't draw us a caricature to suit that... please?Made my day.
You had to rub it in... Yes, we know you will have a Pyra before the rest of us mere mortals. We shall cower in your shadow while we wait for out pyras.Minor correction. 8 Pyra prototypes have been sold. With conversion and shipping to US, mine was a bit over $1700. Delivery still pending.

I agree. The major difference, afaik, is that they haven't taken any money. I don't like how tight lipped they are about things, but not everyone is as open as ED. I won't be preordering if that is something they do (just like I didn't with the Pandora). Most of us are pretty sure they can't do it at the price they want to, especially with all the fancy stuff like telescoping sticks, however they might be able to do it at a higher price. They could prove us wrong and get a million orders and do it fairly cheap.Assuming that it isn't an hoax - they are making exactly the same mistakes we have already seen in the original first production of the OpenPandora.

ED's documentations on this board are gold for every tech startup and people could learn a lot from it.
I considered mentioning that too, however I thought that came with a caveat of "if we have enough prototypes left", which is why you thought you might not get one.Minor correction. 8 Pyra prototypes have been sold.

I seem to remember something about more money than sense.Y

yup... I payed close to 1000 euro for it... (700 something for the full package, then 300 for the lower quality one, and extra thingies again, like a second battery, a charger that actually worked (because the first didnt) finally a real second one, just to see if those were better build... and yes... those full-priced were better); Then some donation money for the stingy or unfortunate ones that could not fork over 300 euro to get one... it was not cheap. But it was worth it.The 1Ghz Pandora did cost a good chunk more than 600€ once if you bought a CC Pandora earlier and upgraded it later like I did.
they did a good promotion, didnt they? Hey, did anyone of us get a hair from E.D. in their packaged Pandora? We could use that to clone him..."The Pandora was burned to the ground by a madman who jumped off of roofs to promote his gadgets. From its ashes, the Pyra rose. Led by a man who breathes technology and bleeds coffee, never will the Pyra suffer the same pitfalls in its development that plagued the Pandora."
Or when we have silly ideas he couldn't reasonably consider, we try some voodoo with that.they did a good promotion, didnt they? Hey, did anyone of us get a hair from E.D. in their packaged Pandora? We could use that to clone him...
