    Whatsapp on Pyra?

    Large groups (with classmates, for example), as I mentioned earlier. It's not even really about being able to communicate, but about getting information that would otherwise be hard to obtain in time and/or about other people communicating to you. At least that's the case for me. It surely is...

    Whatsapp on Pyra?

    That is a good point indeed. Personally, the main reason why I haven't removed WA from my phone so far isn't even friends, but (larger) WA groups that consist of people I'm not that close to, mainly classmates. I can always contact my friends one way or another, but I doubt I'd manage to...

    Whatsapp on Pyra?

    I don't wanna seem rude, but seriously? The question of this thread is "is Whatsapp going to work on the Pyra (somehow)?" and NOT "does everyone around here hate Whatsapp?". Yes, it is owned by FB and yes it's proprietary and no it doesn't have a proper desktop client. But, first of all, no one...

    Whatsapp on Pyra?

    Shouldn't it be possible to run WA in an android container/VM? Even doing the security check (or whatever they call it) would most likely be doable, as you can just enter the sms-code manually.

    Perfect camera for Pyra/Pandora?

    I think something like the "spy camera" for the raspi (https://www.adafruit.com/product/1937) should fit inside the lower pat of the lid, at least if you remove a small part of the inner lid. The Pyra does have all the connectors needed for attaching a CSI-camera, though it has only one data...

    Given up with any games?

    Homeworld Remastered I found the scaled AI fleets to be no fun at all in one of the last kissions. Not only did it make capturing ~50 frigates in over several hours absolutely pointless, but it also made the next mission way too hard. I'm sure I could somehow make my way through it, but that...

    Media and Press - who should we contact?

    Someone's already asked Ashens about this on his reddit, he meant that he'd love to do a review, but that the Pyra was too expensive for him - so he'd have to be sent one. I believe ED talked about maybe sending him a unit a while ago, but I'm not entirely sure about it (can't find it rigt now).

    PGS Windows 10 gaming handheld - GPD WIN competitor

    Might be a competitor for the Smach Z

    PGS Windows 10 gaming handheld - GPD WIN competitor

    Seems like they're calculating just the overall average of pledges made every day since the start of the campaign or so.

    Preorders Have Started. (Previously named starts in two hours)

    Probably yes, considering this:

    PGS Windows 10 gaming handheld - GPD WIN competitor

    That plus the one ring (each with a planned price of 4.99$).

    News from all fronts

    I'd choose a solid RTG over a fusion battery; it's a reliable solution used by NASA and unlike a fusion reactor it requires no maintenance. Plus the radiation may help finding the Pyra if you lost it.

    True that. Makes me a bit nervous...

    Pyra Media Coverage

    Finding the right words seems like a tightrope walk to me. Statements, that are understandable and convey all the necessary information at the same time - hm...

    Pyra Release date - Make your Guess here.

    My guess is September 15th 2016. It's more a wish though, middle of October seems more realistic to me as well. I hope you're right, but I don't really see it being like this. All those negative comments on news sites may have skewed my view on the situation, but I fear the Win (or other...

    Preorders Have Started. (Previously named starts in two hours)

    I thought that had already been tried, though you're probably right. Some videos showing the capabilities of the Pyra would probably be helpful.

    Cases, colors and emails

    Doesn't really work in summer, unfortunately. Or whilst wearing a pullover. Magical trouser pockets like those bags from Harry Potter or an inflatable Pyra would solve thisxD

    Cases, colors and emails

    Something like this could come in handy, too bad those holsters look so terribly dorky.

    Abusing Pyra as communication device (needs camera)

    That sounds a bit harsh. He asked politely wether there could be a Pyra with a camera and basically meant, he could live well without the gaming stuff. I'm sure he didn't want to 'force' anything. Plus, you know just as well as I do that a Pyra without gaming controls is never going to happen...

    Media and Press - who should we contact?

    Wouldn't say that per se, gamers who're used to consoles or PCs will probably prefer physical controls over a touchscreen. That being said I'm not sure if DoktorFroid would really fit into the target group. Lefloid and Frodo never really seemed... nerdy enough to me.
