Harald,
I am curious, what do you estimate the cost (as a percentage or dollar
amount) that the GTA02 board "kit" would run compared to the expected $450
base price? I do prefer your idea about selling the GTA01Bv4 instead of
upgrading...some people would just rather do it themselves...bragging
rights? ;)
I'd expect that upgrade kit would have to be at least 350USD. So as
long as you can sell the GTA01 for more than 100USD, it should be better
to do so.
Also, given the low quantities we run at this time, it would really hurt
us to see that many GTA01 going to the junkyard. If the old ones get
sold, we increase the population of Neo's. If we take them apart and
re-use, we don't get more devices deployed..
On a related topic.
I would like to see a bare GTA01 board being available - even after
GTA02 becomes available.
Low-power, small board with GSM, USB, and even a parallel LCD connector
that may be suitable to some other displays.
I haven't seen anything at a similar price-point - say $200?
This would be a bare board in a cardboard box, in an anti-static bag.
Absolutely nothing else.
