have a read of threads from the last hmm 2weeks http://lists.phcomp.co.uk/mailman/listinfo/arm-netbook In summery: *Luke has run out of money to live off. *People have started donating money to help him, more always helps. the funds for the hardware are safe, it just the money for living experiences. *Final prototype has been sent off to be made. *-If its good production made this revision with working hdmi, if it fails production goes ahead anyway but with a prev revision, without hdmi. *Apple have put in there order for next round of iphones. As a result capacitor and ram prices have shoot up by a *huge* amount. *-In this last revision, luke also switched to multiple smaller odd vale caps that did not have the/same price increases. There is also a little technical benefit of doing this on the bright side. *-Current discussions/lukes facing that he will have to drop ram down from 2GB to 1GB. As there is not the budget to pay for huge extra price increase and its too $$$ messy to do separate boards with smaller amounts of $$ 2GB ram for those that badly want it. Some are keen to raise funds for 2gb ram, luke says someone else needs to do this other than him, if thats whats wanted. *Im not sure... maybe it was he might get prototypes back before china new year ? if not post china new year...? i forget *Talks,discussions,collaboration new soc dev effort with team funded by gov in india. * Busy getting ready for FOSDEM err guess i have missed things, gives ya idea of where things are. umm hopefully by end of year we should have a20 cpu cards and micro desktop. i suspect they may well come before end of year :). I forget what was said on the matter so im covering my self. Laptop case 3D printers needs more dev time = luke having funds for living.
