So don’t forget to subscribe and download and RSS and whatever else you can do. See you next […]

Thankfully, (for me at least), they haven’t died or disappeared, following the fate of countless other ventures of this kind. They are actually waiting for their first batch of alpha boards (pre-production devices) to return from manufacture in […]
