that's why i'm doing more than one product - micro-desktop as well as the laptop. i've actually designed around... 5 or 6 different products, all at different stages. the tablet is "on hold" because of lack of interest [and, because it's a complex and dense 4-layer board it's going to be tough converting it to 2-layer]. the 15in laptop is sponsored so that's ok. and the micro-desktop, what with the PCB now being 2-layer, is actually low-cost enough for me to put together a new revision on a very low budget.
awww :( ive been looking forward to the tablet, in fact ive been holding out the last 4 years cus i wanted my first tablet to be a eoma one :D.
i guess lack of interest means lack of funds given to help make it... :/ hmmm...
remember the "or" there - ooorrr i redesign it to be 2-layer, in which case it's no longer $600 for 5 PCBs but is something like... $100 for 5 PCBs. the only problem being, they'd be 1.5mm thick prototype PCBs, not the 1.2mm that the casework is designed for.
but yea, i look forward so much to buying the eoma(-68) laptop, the eoma micro-desktop, eoma tablet, heck and maybe even the eoma games console! the eoma-68 collection! yum yum!
:)
im interested in the games console and think its brilliant that theres a team working on a eoma-68 one :D, but i dont play games to so much these days...
well that's ok, because as you can see from the scenarios section of the white paper, and from the whole eoma68 concept, it's rather plainly obvious that "an eoma68 games console" is NOT just "a games console".
i do love reading your posts luke. i find them a great read. I even loled at the bit about the parts falling off the lorry :D
haha goood :)
