A last time for you to take notice: it been Nikolaus who decided to rather not have project leadership and suggested I should do that.

Wait a second, I just read the DragonBox Pyra thread and Nikolaus is also involved in that. So he was involved in both projects?

Akkumaru,
please see http://neo900.org/news-0009-progress-update-march
Please note that we just are about to undergo a major reorganization of Neo900 project's internal structures to cure the uncertainties we naively introduced during initial phase when we rushed things. Final results of that restructuring are not something to discuss yet, we're just about to evaluate our opportunities and options. Thanks for your patience. :-)

Have you heard about the DragonBox Pyra - the OMAP5 based OpenPandora successor? Pyra, the "ultimate portable console", is expected to be released somewhere in 2015. Why are we promoting it here? Aside of sharing the same message about hardware openness, the OpenPhoenux community had already helped to make production of OpenPandora possible when its future was uncertain due to production problems; but now we're collaborating even closer. Dr. H. Nikolaus Schaller, CEO of Golden Delicious Computers and one of the heads behind the Neo900 project, is also working on the new Pandora. The close collaboration between our projects can lower the prices thanks to component re-use. We're also looking forward to the knowledge gained by working on OMAP5 design, which may be helpful for possible future Neo900 successors and/or update modules. At the end of February, on embedded world 2014 in Nürnberg there has been an informal meeting of some CEOs: Nikolaus (Golden Delicious Computers GmbH&CO. KG), Joerg (Neo900 UG (haftungsbeschraenkt)), Michael Mrozek (OpenPandora GmbH) and Lukas Märdian (working for GDC on Replicant) and opportunities of closer collaboration and synergies got discussed.. So... say hello to the Pyra!

Does anyone know where these devices will be made? I kind of miss my N900 since getting the N9 but the dated hardware is tough to deal with...

Of course it's subject to change (but rather not likely).

Will there be an option to send my N900 in to get "redone"? Are they just buying N900 shells from Nokia or buying New/Refurbished N900s and redoing them or are they remanufacturing the shells from scratch.

Also one request if it's possible. I know this might bring the price up a bit but it's EXTREMELY important in a modern phone. I quite liked the high voltage output on the N900 and I hope that doesn't change (or changes for even better) but I REALLY think it would be a good idea to put NATIVE 192khz/24bit support through a good DAC - it can be an AKM, Wolfson or Burr-Brown for example. Most everyone uses their phone as their portable audio player these days and having a good DAC that can play HD audio natively and with excellent quality is important as is the audio circuitry on it!

- see the bass fix for Neo Freerunner), but only in a reasonable amount of expense in relation to the system immanent limitations. What I already considered is bypassing any amps for AV-out so you can have the pure D/A analog signal (after proper filtering for EMI) on 3.5mm AV "line-out".You're free to add a better audio card via USB, either to external USB micro-AB or "embedded" and connected to the expansion interface.
