ARM9 Sales Specialists Mini2440 ARM9 Best of Show 405 MHz or Else!
Feed your Dweeb! Don't settle for less when you can have twice as much for half the price.
Feb 3: Good news everyone! Someone is running 128M NAND Mini2440's at 505 MHz and stable so far, plus some tightening on the RAM bus timing for faster access. More as testing continues. Also, US Customs likes the Mini2440 so much that they are still inspecting our latest shipment!
We are changing our shipping policy. The way things are now, due to the way our shopping cart works, buyers in the US get free shipping on 2440 systems unless they add other items. Shipping outside the US gets no shipping discount.
The easiest and fairest way to handle this now seems rather simple. We will lower the price of the free shipped items by the basic $4.95 Priority Mail rate. Then, nearly everyone will pay SOME shipping, but everyone will get the equivalent to the shipping discount, inside and outside the US and on all shipping options. If you have an feedback on this, the change won't happen for a day or three. Alert readers will notice that this means multiple 2440's in a single shipment have the possibility of lower total cost than with the free shipping option.
Feb 1: Good news everyone! Customs decided to do a full breakdown search of our latest shipment from China. They are checking for counterfeit Barbie Dolls and solid lead baby candy. Apparently this takes at least a week. They say we should get it today, or not.
We got some cool Sparkfun Arduino shield boards and parts to use with the ARMmite Pro boards. We will be making a video and blog for using GPS, SD cards, joystick and buttons, and accelerometer+gyro intertial nav stuff. It should be pretty cool. If an 8 or 12 MHz Atmega can do it, a 60 MHz ARM should allow some extra bells and whistles. Charlie will be doing it. He says he needs to feed his dweeb. If he likes the results, we will add the various parts to inventory.
Jan 25: Mini35 and Micro2440-SDK70 are back in stock. Backorders are being shipped today and tomorrow. We will run out of 7" Mini2440 systems in the process but another order is on the way. We have a new batch of the ARMmite Pro Arm7 systems after selling out last week.
December 10th: Good news everyone! The Enclosures are here. eSawdust has produced a Chameleon 1 just for the Mini2440+3.5" LCD or Mini35 in our part numbering scheme.
Linux news: Michel (BusError) is putting the final touches on 2.6.32. See www.bliterness.blogspot.com
Still the top seller at $109.95: Mini35 Developers Kit.
Other cool news. We have aded some ARM7 Arduino style boards that are easily programmed in a cross-compiled BASIC: the ARMmite Pro.
Some users are generating prototype cases for the 7" and 3.5" LCD. Here is a Mini70 case meant to snap into a wall bracket. Made with a 3D printer. There has been so much interest in these that we are looking into injection molding in Shenzhen, China.
