Why do people talk about the Neo900 as though it's a real product that exists or can be bought? Has anyone seen any evidence it's anything but vaporware?
Well, I see the work being made on it by myself and already watched similar project (GTA04) reaching its goals. Plus that's me who you can blame personally for any delay with the Neo900 website content or newsletters... ;P (and if you find linked talk hard to listen, you can blame me for that as well ;])
it's been well over a year since the neo900 project was announced, and I've never seen any goldelico project actually ship more than a handful of prototypes.
I really hope the neo900 succeeds, but sending money to goldelico is generally a bad bet.
Neo900 has been announced at the moment when all interested parties agreed on "it seems feasible, let's do it". There was no prior investment, the development could start only after raising funds. It simply takes time - especially when organizational burden turned out to be a bit more challenging than initially assumed.
All of Goldelico customers who paid for GTA04 already received one long time ago. I don't count latest fundraiser for its new revision[1], since it will be fully refunded if not enough people will preorder to actually produce a new batch.
Also, Goldelico is "just" a contractor doing work for Neo900 UG, which is the actual entity running the Neo900 project.
But I think we're getting a bit off-topic here. #neo900 on freenode might be a better place for that ;)
