    Hello, dear forum users. We want to thank you once again for your help, because you inspire us to make our project better. Only because of you, the release version of the device will include such features as:
    Changeable battery
    Key backlight
    A programmable part of the lower display to use as keys or macroses
    A virtual keyboard for the lower display, which supports full-screen games
    Vibration
    Special version of device in black color
    Today, we have two pieces of news for you. One is good, while another is bad.
    As well as many other distinctive features, which were simply impossible without your tips.
    Besides that, we want to tell you two pieces of news. Unfortunately, one of them is bad. The good news in that we have finally reached agreement with investors and signed a contract. Thanks to that, the basic price of PGS will start from 230$ as we planned before. But there’s a bad news. One asshole shared our old and discarded video for Kickstarter and this video was reposted and published by the vast majority of journalists and media, which wrote about our release. As the result, our investors were able to find this video :( They decided that it can be a great idea to evaluate customers demand for device (as well for the first period of promotion) and insisted that the project has to be presented on Kickstarter.
    We deeply apologize for any inconvenience those, who were waiting the device in retail. With respect to Kickstarter, we are happy to receive any support and help, but if you have any doubts in quality of the final product, we recommend you to wait until first reviews appear and official sales launched. As we planned before, official sales will start in December, immediately after the shipment of devices, which were pre-ordered by crowdfunding investors.
    P.S. In the nearest future we will receive more complex prototypes of the device. We will make our best to publish a video review with several games testing.

    Heh, timely bumped. The kickstarter for this was closed after it turned out only two of the employees had any verifiable internet history, and one of them was the daughter of a crook. And they showed no ability whatsoever to demonstrate they had the ability to fit all those features into a tiny case, just make misleading videos to make it looks like something was happening. It was all a little reminiscent of the VGS chameleon fiasco. They claimed there was no point prototyping anything, as it was all subject to change anyway.

    You can still preorder it on their own website, but if you do that you have even less chance to claim a refund if it turns out to be a scam, which it has all the hallmarks of after the kickstarter fiasco. I'd wait for some proof they're even sketching out a PCB for it before risking any of my money. Bear in mind that even GPD, who have a history of making handhelds had to redesign their x86 handheld to have a metal case and a fan, making it thicker because of heat issues.
