Ive been out of the scene a while now, but ive known some of the details regarding Pyra a new handheld in development, well Evildragon posted a news update a few days ago, heres the news:
First of all, a merry christmas to everyone!
An update was LONG overdue - but I was overrun by pre-christmas season.
Seriously, I expected some orders in my shop, but I was totally overwhelmed.
I packed and shipped over 400 packages during the last 1,5 weeks, so I didn't really have time for anything else.
I rarely visited the boards and couldn't chase up all involved companies for updates.
But: Having SO many sales is awesome, as every single sale helps the Pyra with future funding.
Even every single GPD Win sold in my shop will help the Pyra https://pyra-handheld.com/boards/styles/default/xenforo/clear.png
I'm a bit exhausted now, but I won't go to sleep before I've written my update https://pyra-handheld.com/boards/styles/default/xenforo/clear.png
While we still need to test the prototypes, we are already preparing the first production run to be able to produce as fast as possible!
What do we have...
* ALL needed parts for the first production run of the PCBs are sitting at GC (well, except for the bare PCBs)
* ALL needed LCDs are already in Germany and will be delivered to GC early January
* ALL needed batteries are already sitting at GC
What's still missing...
* Bare PCBs. Will be produced as soon as we confirm they're working fine. Production time: About 6 weeks (CPU-Board)
* Keymats: Will be produced as soon as I confirm the sample to be fine. Production time: About 4 weeks
* Cases: Will be produced as soon as I confirm the samples to be fine. Production time: About 4 weeks
* Card Boxes and manuals: Will be produced as soon as I create the design and order them. Production time: About 2 weeks
* LCD Cables: Will produced middle of January. Production time: About 3 weeks
Well, and that's it!
The CPU-Board is the culprit right now - everything else should easily arrive before we have the bare CPU boards.
I wish these things would go faster.... but that would only work if I had three or four times as much the capital.
