Hi altogether,
we'd love to post hardware-footage, but we
are also waiting for the board and you can trust us
that we will post pictures ASAP, when it is physically
available.
There have been more optimizations on the design:
Thomas is a perfectionist with a lot of experience so Gunnar
and me as software-people of course would love to have the
board ASAP - as everybody here. But we trust the strategy
to design it as good as possible instead of doing compromises
in a sloppy hurry. For instance he choose high class components
for the analog audio output and did extensive testing before
on this matter. Even if this takes time, it is important to
work with foresight, instead of - like in most payed projects
nowadays - to make compromises so often, just because of time
frames and tight budgets on development - with a bad or
mediocre product as the result.
And as everybody who works hard for more than 40 hours a week to make his living will understand, the time for a fun-project is sadly somewhat limited.
Anyway - the main point is: everything IS advancing, even if not
with rocket-speed. Slow but steady progress will bring this to a success. Being devoted and not dependent on anybodies budget or licence makes this effort and Thomas unstoppable.
I know it doesn't tell us much but be assured that the project is still ongoing and that unlike PC and Macs the delay is because they want the board to be perfect and with few or no bugs at all.
