Your phone?

I don't want to lend it every other Pyra owner.

My phone is a spy brick.

everyone on their best behavior!

That's a nice write-up. Only thing that doesn't sound great from a potential customer's point of view is that final "eventually"

Yeah - they could have written “this year”...

 

[daveshah]

"2 months"

 

[ClockworkCoder]

"2 months"

You just beat me to it!

They wrote that the Pyra is 500 €, but wasnt this just the Preeorder, and you have to pay the Rest in 2 Months (tm) ??

my Number 28 Pree Pree Order Special Edition 4g 4gb will be around 750 €, so a bit more than 500..

That's without Märchensteuer ("excluding VAT").

 

[Phlyra]

"2 months"

Touché!

 

[matzesu]

But 500 x 1,16 is 580 €

 

[Djoga'Ro]

I must admit, I didn't check the numbers, just read the text.

 

[λ the β-Redex Reducer]

He's talking about the cheapest Pyra, which cost €500,- and is the 2GB non-mobile version.

Nothing glamorous today, I spent almost the whole day fixing unreliable USB hub chip initialisation (there is a hub that fans 1 HSIC port on the OMAP5 to the modem and 2 USB-A ports)...

Well it's not usually the glamorous things that hold everything together... thanks for your work!

Agreed. We can handle things like getting games and emulators ported. The updates I want to see are the ones that bring the system to a stable and working image. The closer he brings the system to that, the more thankful we should be.

that's ok, of course. In fact it's all exciting news. Doesn't all have to be bling

I mean it's honest. It's been almost another half a year since everything has "been ready for production," and still nothing...

I would bet it isn't until 2021

Other than daveshah getting a reportedly production level unit to fettle the software with. And he's currently doing amazing things software-wise. Reportedly, it was just the state of the software that was stopping ED from hitting the 100% full power button, and daveshah mentioned that he's having trouble getting all of the patched lined up together, so it sounds good to me that he's noticed that and actually cares about it, and there's a reasonable chance he'll do what's needed to get them all in a better state going forward.

Edit: Indeed, we're in Daveshah's thread. All that information should be hereabouts if you need it.
