Title: Fun Gp, gp2x wiz and Canoo
Post by: mentalthink on 2010-Jul-23

Hi I think, if I´m not stay wrong, the expected FunGP is almost ready. The number in the top-left corner, is counting down, so from today to 25 days the funGp will be ready, I think for this forum can be a great oportunity, if all goes well... because AppStore is a very hard Market.

A suggestion for Gernnot, if you can make that glbasic compile for the new console Cannoo, of couse... when it´s stay in the market, because I read in the spanish forum although the hardware of the wiz and Canoo is the same except for the more great screen, and canno have a only one accelerometer, the applications compiled for wiz don´t work on Canno.

I hope that this market can be very productive for our communiy, Glbasic, because I think in this forum have people whit too much talent.

Best Regards,
Iván J.

The Cannoo is technically a Wiz with extras bolted on (and the D-PAD removed for an analogue stick). It might run Wiz games off the bat. I guess we'll have to find out once it's released.

It'll be interesting to see if the analogue stick can be used as effectively as the D-PAD. I suspect that many/most games will suffer as a result, however I'd love to be proved wrong :)

If only I wasn't waiting for my Pandora and then Nintendo 3DS, I might bite - despite already owning a Wiz. But given the money I'd probably opt for an iPod Touch first...

Mate, you own so many portable devices (and goodness knows how many consoles), I'm surprised you ever have time to develop anything!  :blink:

A Pandora unit is on my wish list.  :sick:

I didn't include any of the things I actually own in that list, other than the Wiz. I'm just waiting for the rest to arrive!

As for development time - I rarely watch tv and can (sometimes) get a lot done in a short time. I don't drink or smoke, so I've got to have a vice somewhere. And that's computer gadgets. My wife has her pets (millions of the buggers) and I've got my gizmos.

Besides, it's all GLBasic's fault - I wouldn't need so many if Gernot stopped adding to the devices that GLB supports!
