I'll bet you don't roll out of bed and think about making your own PC before breakfast. Even you do, I bet you haven't actually shipped . Here's someone who has. I reached out to the creator of the Tauon PC-1 , Volodymyr Mishyn who kindly took more than a little time to answer some detailed questions about the PC-1, how it came to be, the challenges of a project like this, his future plans for Tauon OS and what is clearly a very personal labour of love. Many thanks Volodymyr. Your news blog suggests 30 days to prototype, and 6 months to ship! If that is right, it is very impressive, given the technical and logistical activities that had to occur. Is there more to this story? I was looking for available options before I started the project. I got myself a couple PI (3B, Zero) OrangePi, C-SKY. And tried to build some kind of educational PC for my kid. Unfortunately, the performance was awful, using...
Oh man, a DINGOID!
ReplyDeleteIt was bound to happen.
China really seems to have a problem with all these clones. The ones that do succeed seem not to get the support because the market is flooded with clones. Its a sad state of affairs. Strider_mt2k nailed it: DINGOID!!! LOL

dingoo win!!!
ReplyDeleteThats bingoo!
ReplyDeletetell me more about this.
it actually looks better than the dingoo with the better shoulder buttons and the face plate doesnt look as glossy/fingerprintmagnetty
ReplyDeletealso it seems to have a microsd slot which is 100% better than minisd
ReplyDeleteYeah, better shoulder buttons and a micro-SD slot... but on the other side:
ReplyDeleteOnly a mono-speaker? No TV-out? Only 2GB internal memory? Cards only up to 8GB?
Naaah, for me there is only one REAL advantage: A reset-button *___*
Any hardware-specs of this thing?
Agree with the above, no tvout and 2 gig internal. I got a card adapter with my micro sd.
ReplyDeleteOnly cool thing is if they've used the same OS and the media playing and emulators are better, then someone will probably transfer them across to the dingoo. It's slightly glitchy playback and lack of playlist creation is, imo, the only thing really holding it back. (I know it's still fantastic for the money i'm just saying.)
Looks nice. From the look of the OS, it might be a Sunplus chip. Usually they have just NES and GB emulators, so it's weird seeing this with GBA and more. They also usually have cheap cameras included. This also has nice controls, which most Sunplus systems don't.
ReplyDeleteLack of support.
ReplyDeleteThat thing has gotten it's reputation, of being the worst clone. But I do agree with most things it has.
Here is the list of what I think is good that came out of this.
Speakers On The Face.
Non-Glossy Face.
Supports Mini SD.
Theme Is Not A Rip-Off From Officials.
........
Yeah my list is tiny..... This is GARBAGE!
Now here is my list of things that are BAD from it.
Mono Speakers
No T.V Output
No Radio
Less Memory Space
Less Emulator Support
Less Audio Support
Less Video Support
And Very Weird Emulator Support
[GBA/NEG/GEO/GBC/SFC/MES]
What the heck is NEG! Is It Supposed To Be NES?!
And Also MES! Is It MVS?!
The OS Looks Like One Of Those GBA/SP With The Built In Games At DealExtreme.
In Conclusion, This is the worst clone of the all mighty Dingoo. Enjoy your $60 DINGOID of fury. [but really, don't buy this]
LOL @ "Dingoid of Fury"
ReplyDeleteRAAAAAAAAR!!
