First News about Pegasos 2

@Joanna

Agreed. Its spoiling, but Im not complaining I'm explaining for the chap at the back.

As for release dates, I won't take you up on that bet because frankly I don't know which way things could go ;-)

[T_Bone]

> Not all the smileys in the world can save you bb :-/.

Product may, however.  :-D

[Rudei]

Whoa whoa whoa, take Gensi off that list! I am typing this on Gensi's product right now! It's very real!!

Maybe they would if you could actually spell it

[DaveP]

Maybe the DMA bug is trashing some of the letters as he types ;-)

[Rudei]

I can't tell when Pegasos II appears cause I really don't know. But my best bet (noted here publicly) it'll be delivered to first customers sooner than workin OS4 for Aone owners ..

So you think OS4 won`t be out before September then?  I really hope you end laughing on the other side of your face

[JoannaK]

(actually OT cause this is supposed to be about Pegasois 2)

Rudei: well.. Year ago I was much more optimistic, hoping to OS4 release for X-mas 2002 or early 2003... And then I was attacked by people for "being too negative" and "naysayer".  Since then.. well.  Better not to say too much.. Time will tell.

Maybe for CSPPC, but for A1? I'd be very surprised.

redrumloa enthused:

Absolutely fantastic. This is a real company with . . . . .very, very aggresive pricing for the type of product it is. Major kudos!

That's one way of looking at it; though maybe a "rose-coloured glasses" way! How long can a business market its products when it's selling at a loss?

If Genesi can deliver at this price they'll be making some serious cash I'd say .

What? Like Microsoft does when the more X-boxes they sell at UNDER cost -- the more money they loose?

Genesi doesn't have very deep pockets like MS.

mdma "reasoned":

 it's £214.31 including the VAT!

. . . . .Anyone who buys an A1 after these babies come out is an absolute fool, and has more money than sense.

Nah! A1 buyers are more likely to realize that A1's are being sold at a sustainable price.
i.e. That Eyetech is NOT going to loose money with each one they sell.
That means that the A1 has a better chance of surviving.

[DaveP]

Quite. Remember how unimpressive it was when people used to say about PhaseV "they made a loss on every board" as if they were heroes for being incompetant business people?

I don't know if this is or is not a loss leader for the higher priced Pegasuari.

I have my suspicion this spoiler is intended to price Eyetech out of the market.

And how do you know Pegasos 2 will not being sold at a substaibable price?

If the Pegasos bords are still sold at a profit then all they have to worry about it overhead.

Come on give Pegasos a break if Eyetech anounced a price cut lower then Pegasos I don't think you'll be bitching about it.

But if it is sold at a loss they are stupid it is not like a games console where money is made on games .so they would be the losers. :-?

As for undercutting eyetech i doubt it .

[greenboy]

The PegasosII pricing is not a loss-leader - that IS sustainable pricing. Lots of time has been spent in the design phase to make that possible, and partnerships and suppliers have further improved the ratio.

And, no, DaveP, I don't have documented evidence to prove this ; þ

[amigamad]

But what kind of quality are the componants they are using as they say you get what you pay for and the cheaper something is the cheaper the componants will be after all a bmw cost more and is better than a peugot,just because something is cheap it does not make it any good. :-o
