Dragonbox Pyra, sozusagen die Pandora 2 :)

matzesu · 17.01.2014, 08:51

Wie ich warscheinlich schon öfter im Laberfaden angekündigt habe,
wird hier ein Newsfaden gemacht für die Dragonbox Pyra
sozusagen dem inoffiziellen Pandora Nachfolger von den Pandora machern
Der offizielle Pandora-Thread

Zitat:

Well, since you know I'm actively working on the successor yet, I think I can share some of my ideas.

Basically, it's to keep what's good and fix what can be fixed

What's good:

Size: Similar. If we have to increase it, it will not be much (maybe 1 - 2 mm to one side)
Clamshell design: Of course!
Full sized SD Card slots: I would like to keep these as well.
USB Ports: Sure thing!
Gaming Controls: Ummm...

Replaceable battery: Yep. I want to keep the exact same battery for various reasons.:

It will ensure that batteries for the Pandora will be available for a longer period of time.
We know it works properly (less risk)
Whoever owns the successor AND the Pandora can the batteries for both devices.
The battery compartment will be changed though, so that the battery will fit much better

What needs to be fixed:

Nubs: Completely new ones. We already have some samples that are working so much better (best nubs I've ever seen).
LCD-Cable: While the current ones are good, they still fail too often in my opinion. With MIPI displays, we don't need LCD Cables anymore.
Case: The case will be completely designed and produced by one company in Europe. This will ensure a higher quality.

What could be improved:

LCD: Better refresh rate, higher resolution (ideally 720p, but that's hard to get), size increased to 5"
Keyboard: Slightly improved layout, better feel, probably backlight
Wireless: Improved Wifi, but maybe also optional 3G/4G would be neat.
Speakers: We already have samples of much better speakers.

SoC: A more recent one, of course. And yes... we have the confirmation for one now, but I won't tell you

So, that's my basic idea - what do you think about that

Hier kommen in Zukunft die ganzen News aus dem englischen Forum rein
wenn ich Zeit hab,,

Some more of my ideas - Pyra Community Ideas - OpenPandora Boards

EDIT:
Außerdem ist EvilDragon mit der Pandora und warscheinlich der Pyra auf dem Fosdem dieses Jahr in Brüssel

Zitat:

The new year has started - and I hope it did start well for you.

A fresh new year, new plans, new possibilities.
What will happen in Pandora and Pyra-Land?

I can at least give you some information.

1. FOSDEM 2014

Yes, we'll be at the FOSDEM again this year (taking place 1st and 2nd February in Brussels)
We'll have a table and I'll have a small talk in the gaming dev room - Saturday evening, 6 - 7pm.
Of course, we'll have some Pandoras there and I'll also talk about the Pandora in the devroom.
However, we might also have some information or even previews of the Pyra there.
Askarus will be there Saturday and Sunday the full days, while I will be there Saturday 2pm to 7pm and the full Sunday.

You're very welcome to visit us and get more information about the Pandora / Pyra.
I'm also open for any interviews, in case some of you are bloggers or even writing for magazines.

2. Alive and Kicking Coding Competition

Looking at the current list of entries, we'll see some awesome releases for the Pandora!
Thanks a lot to all devs participiating - it shows how lively the Pandora scene is.
A bright future

3. Pandoras and Craigs remaining customers

Hopefully, we'll be able to fulfill many more of Craigs remaining orders, but we have no idea how many that'll be.
We're trying to do our best, but Pandora stock is limited now due to some parts needed for Pandora production that have seen the end of life quite a while ago.
However, any customer who still remains after the last Pandora has been sold will be able to get the Pyra for production costs - whenever it might be ready.
I don't want to forget anyone, so I'm trying to offer whatever I can.

4. More partly defective Classic Pandoras

We still got over 100 defective boards from CC and will now focus on finding out if they are still usable in some way.
They will all be at the Pandora-Section at the DragonBox Shop, so be sure to check it out every once in a while to see if there's one that is of interest to you.
They're all units with brand new cases (most of them had some small scratches from the very beginning though) and PCBs which have one or more issues.

5. The DragonBox Pyra

With the Pandora reaching the end of production, when will the Pyra be available?
We have no idea. And looking back at the Pandora developments, I will NOT give any estimations.
But we'll work on it. And you will be able to follow us with videos and pictures I'll post.
We'll probably start with that after the FOSDEM.

Thanks to all of you - quite a few good ideas from the community will find their ways into the Pyra.
And with a capable production company from the very beginning as well as a case company in Europe, things are looking a lot better.

It'll most probably still be a while until it's finished. So in case you're thinking about getting a Pandora or wait for the successor, I'd get a Pandora now - as stock is limited.

So much for a peek into 2014. If you have any further questions, let me know

DragonBox Pyra |*Ultimate Portable Console

Und ein kleines Video von der FOSDEM Messe in Brüssel, wo man ein Pyra Prototype Board sieht wo 2 mal PSX nebeneinander läuft, und GIMP sowie Battle for Whesnot..,

Pyra - small FOSDEM sneakpeek - YouTube

Haben will .. , ich denke das Team hat von den Fehlern der Pandora gelernt, das Gehäuse kommt zumbeispiel nicht mehr aus China, sondern aus Griechenland, was zwar auch nicht um die Ecke ist, aber im Vergleich zu China weniger Probleme bereiten sollte.. ,
außerdem passt das ja, denn Pyra stammt (wie die Pandora) ja aus der Griechischen Mythologie

Bis das Ding fertig ist, hab ich noch den Vorgänger Handheld, also alles halb so wild..
