The Linux community should set up a Paypal account to donate towards any future legal battles. I would happily pay triple the cost of a Vista license to such a fund, as long as it operated not for profit. It would be good to have a webpage showing clearly the current balance of the fund. Its time the people built up a defense, and show companies like SCO, M$ etc how much were are prepared not to spend on them!! Now who can set up such a fund?
1) During development it was called GPX2, the company ran a stupid naming the console competition the guy who suggested GP2x won... just stupid.
2) There is actually no WMA support due to the rights issue, despite what it says on the box, but they may get rights in the future.
3) The source has been released they just dont seem to be quick with releasing updated source with each firmware version, something which some people would like rectified.
4) Besides the fact my GP2X console is a pre-release version, its the best thing I have ever bought. The public domain software urinates all over the PSP, something new is released nearly every day. The scene is really great, it reminds me of the C64 and amiga days.
5) Yeah they seem not too be so quick with firmware updates but these guys catered the console to the publics request the whole way through the design, so its what the gamer out there wants. I dont think they originally had the open source idea in mind but it came with the request of the general public. I know that there are only hand full of people who make the GP2X and they that are working flat out, they are probably just being slack with updated source code releasement.
6) Besides there mistakes I believe the manufacturesrs are good guys who will eventually comply when they get more organised. The huge prerelease sales are probably too much for them to cope with while the thing is still under development.
No way this sucks! The Myst Series is the only game I have ever paid money for, an that was usually for the special editions. Where will I find a game that actually gives some kind of mental challange and looks as spectacular as myst?!? Well I better splash out on MystV given it will be the last.
Not happy
