The main point of Gadgetos has been run on almost any hardware; so last week I went hardware shopping.
Stopped over at DeviceSolutions and checked out the Topaz.
NETMF on a i.MX25?! Shiny!
Let’s find a distributor…here’s one!
Order next day rush @ 3pm!!! (Actually arrived next day!)
Whoops, that’s just the screen; and for $300…
OK order the BOARD, make this one 2nd day.
5 business days later it is here TIME TO PLAY!
Running CE? No worries, off to the site to get drivers and run NETMF.
Huh? Only in ALPHA?

This is what you get when step out of the “FEZ” zone
Customers always ask, why GHI. I answer, go give others a try and let me know what you think
Will the other device ever support WiFi and USB Host and database when it is out of alpha someday? You answer this. Note that this device has been out for 3 years with alpha support so for actual release it may take … I will let you answer this one as well.
Ok now I invite you to run some test and compare speed to ChipworkX. Note you are comparing feature, you know the extras but only speed.
Yeah; I prefer FEZ but I need to make Gadgetos work for as many people as possible.
I will definitely do some speed comparisons when I have a moment. Right now I’ve just added Mass Storage to Gadgetos in a way that doesn’t require the user to switch DebugInterface (or at least not in a way they will ever notice ;))
This is a good way to do cross compiling/checking.
Hm. So if you change the DebugInterface you have to redeploy? Bummer, thought I had something good worked out there.

ya i wanted to get that one as well, but they told me this was the case so i never bothered.
then i went to their forum which did not have much going on in there. Nothing like GHI’s forum.
So i figure i will just wait for the next big thing from GHI
