</div></div>congratulations for reaching this milestone! ... I have to admit if<br>
feel strange that it was Wits who made the schematics at the end...<br></blockquote><div><br> yeah i know! we just... yeah :) if the business relationships didn't exist with our PRC client, then none of this would be happening. it's been a series of jammy coincidences, that keep on emerging even now. we've been extremely lucky.<br>

but well... it's nice to finally have schematics.<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br>tell me about it.<br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
- will these schematics be open sourced? when?<br></blockquote><div><br>don't know. that'll have to be a question asked of wits-tech, at some point. i feel that they'll need to receive some revenue first from their work, before committing to that, or to have the strategy and the clear financial benefits to them clearly explained.<br>

- does this new $relation$ with Wits gives us something new regarding<br>
the CedarX libraries and access to their latest u-boot/linux sources?<br></blockquote><div><br> no. wits-tech != allwinner. i'll get to that in good time, once there is a clear need which *directly* financially affects allwinner if the request for the source code is not fulfilled. for example, a TV product which a client wants, where it simply won't work without the source code, and allwinner would lose $NNm/yr in revenue.<br>
<br> under such circumstances, i will ask. however, i'm not going to ask *until* such circumstances arise.<br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
- any plan to make also a good eoma68 laptop soon?<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br> yes - a 14in laptop, by 10th october. that's what i mentioned above, already. our PRC client wants 25 laptops done by the 10th of october. i'm offering people the opportunity to be put in touch directly with the ODMs we've selected who will be making the PCB and doing the conversion work, to increase that number of machines *above* 25.<br>
<br> obviously, the absolute top priority will have to be on getting the 25 machines done by 10th october, but anyone else can have their completed laptops at any time convenient to the ODM, at the ODM's own working pace, *after* they've fulfilled our client's requirements.<br>
