Re: Something is Coming - F(x)tec announces new device

Chen trying to generate buzz with content-free forum posts, and crowdfunding based on 'we intend to do something else next' may be part of the modern indy-producer production pipeline, however...

In the spectrum of signals I watch for, this isn't a particularly welcome or encouraging one - given the status quo of how few Pro1's they are shipping.

Re: Something is Coming - F(x)tec announces new device

Just have to wait. I don't like waiting. But when they announce whatever it will be, we will have again something to talk about. And they will probably listen ideas people will fire them with. And that is nice. I would have just wanted to see the Leste logo there too.

Just got another email from fxtec:

Quote:

We are now just 24 hours away from launching something special.
Here's what you need to know ahead of our launch:
Tomorrow at 1.50pm we will send you an exclusive early bird link to our IndieGoGo page. This gives you 10 minutes to get in there and swipe your super early-bird discounted perk before we launch to the rest of the world.

We have limited numbers of early bird perks available & once they’re gone, they’re gone.

You will need an IndieGoGo account to back us (we recommend making one in advance to save time tomorrow).

Spread the word! Refer your friends, family & anyone else that might be interested in our launch & you could be in with the chance of winning yourself ‘SOMETHING SPECIAL’.

See you tomorrow!

Of course from my negative IndieGoGo experience, I can't participate, but I'm excited to see what they've got. Looks like Lineage and UBPorts/Ubuntu Touch logos now appear on the shrouded box. (Apparently, it wasn't a conference table as I'd guessed.)

Also, not sure when they mean by 1:50 PM. Did they localize that for my time zone (currently UTC-5)? I don't remember if I told them my TZ or location . . . Or is it 13:50 UTC?

Anyway, good luck, Fxtec. Can't wait to see what you've got. (I'd also like a Pro1. And a robot butler. And a jetpack. Got that, Santa?)

Re: Something is Coming - F(x)tec announces new device

1.50 PM is UK time GMT = UTC.
For me in DE that is 14:50 Winter/Regular time since i am UTC+1.

Re: Something is Coming - F(x)tec announces new device

I wish they would have a page with a counter. Why they do not have? It would not have been too difficult. Maybe they just didn't think it through.

Re: Something is Coming - F(x)tec announces new device

Pro1-X, huh? Does look exciting. Running Lineage or UBPorts out of the box. And an "in time for Christmas" package?

And here the direct link to their Indiegogo:

Its a slightly improved Pro1 with Linage preinstalled.
I will likely also wait and maybe buy when ready with Sailfish or even better: Leste!

Lineage- maybe
UBports- i feel something is missing on it
Leste- would be the perfect OS for this device :)

Re: Something is Coming - F(x)tec announces new device

Sh.t - so unlucky... had 2 hour power failure and missed super early bird...

Well, life is...
