Is it possible to clarify exactly what versions of the GP2x are available and also what the position is concerning what I read on this forum as the "official" release?
I understand the 1st edition as being badged (and constructed) slightly differently but then after this, how many versions have been available?
I bought mine last week from gp2x.co.uk and have no idea what it is I have excepting that it is not the 1st version - I note the thread concerning the GP2x Mk2 with dismay.
It concerns me that I read here about "Official" release dates etc. for the hardware when despite buying the machine from the official UK supplier on spec as being the finished article.
At no point was I advised I was buying something that was not complete or "officially" released and would be interested in the official word on the subject.
Don't take the above as a wholesale bitch about the GP2x because the machine as it stands is truly wonderful. It has already provided me with hours of enjoyment and no doubt will continue to do so.
However, if it turns out that I could have waited a few short weeks and been able to purchase a superior machine I would feel disgruntled and misled at the least if the hardware I bought as the finished article is actually in "beta".
I fully understand hardware revisions and updates and have no issue at all with that as improvements can only enhance the GP2x experience. If its just my timing being off in my purchase then its a case of shrugging the shoulders and carrying on as before.
Its just the whole "is it finished or not?" thing that has me posting this topic.
Perhaps I do have the most recent version but am missing the information and experience to confirm.
If anyone can clarify it would be great.
Many Thanks.
