Twelve voters?!?

No wonder the 442v2 issues aren't getting addressed!

Do you suppose that there are Gamma testers out there that don't even read these forums anymore?

I sent mine in today for a refund.  What a let-down.  I had such high hopes for the 442.

I'm really torn between picking up the GP2X or doing a total 180 and buying a WM-compatible device that will play nicely with my new Media Center laptop.  Either way, I won't be spending any more time on these forums.

Best of luck everyone!

We're going to have an open meeting online to discuss this.  You are all welcome to attend and ask questions.

I LOVE this:

[16:53]     <AmericanTechpush>     Was there a meeting about the 422 today?
[16:54]    <JoeBorn>    AmericanTechpush: very brief.
[16:54]    <JoeBorn>    it was fairly anti-climactic for a couple reasons
[16:55]    <JoeBorn>    first, we have informally discussed a lot of the issues leading up to that meeting
[16:55]    <JoeBorn>    and second, no outsiders showed up with specific questions, etc.

Okay, so now what?  What's the answer to the question "When are we going to get the device we invested in?"  What conculsions have you guys come to in the discussions "leading up to that meeting" you had on Saturday?  If I were you Joe, I would not be as quiet as you are!

It sounds to me like you guys have back-burnered the 442v2 because the OSD is going to be your next hot product.  From the info I've seen, you may be right.  It sounds great.  But guess what?  I'm not going to buy one.  Further, I'd be willing to bet that anyone who feels slighted by the lack of progress on the 442v2 isn't going to buy one either.  You're about an inch away from turning guaranteed sales to consumers who started off believing in your company and ideas into alienation and bitterness.  If I'm way off base here, someone please set me straight.

Tell us what we want to know or lose us forever.  I've still got my original packaging and I'm not afraid to use it.

There is a new neuros custom site that has a review on the OSD, it has screenshots, firmware, and other stuff. This is a site for custom applications and should help bring the community togeather a little more. check it out here:

ANOTHER site I need to keep an eye on?  For crying out LOUD!

And display-resolution for picture displaying is not 320x240, but 319x240 -- picture with 319 x 240 is clearer.

this player resizes big pictures therefore not correctly, it resizes to 320x240. Did you notice, that some pics are not enough sharp?
I think the problem is in incorrect resizing.

Swim, you may have solved my issues with reading comics on my 442.  Now I need to test some images at 319 x 240.  Thanks!

People are becoming annoying with the demands from the new model. Just be patient.

like my sig

These boards seem to be dead otherwise.

Now that LOST is done for the season, I'm guessing my 442 will stay parked for the foreseeable future.  It would be nice to know when.

3.  flimsy rubber cover at the top of the unit : 5
      Mine is now off the unit .. this is way too flimsy.

I'm amazed by how many negative comments there are about this.  Mine is perfectly fine, in no danger of breaking off, and easy to remove/replace.

Okay.  It finally happened.

My rubber cover fell off.

Why not?  You have 12 more in case you break it.

quote:To be perfectly honest, I'm left with the impression that Neuros is trying to limit the number of discounted exchanges they will have to make by setting return / refund conditions months after the 442s were sold, relying on the fact that some customers may not have kept the original packaging handy after several months.

I still have the box from my computer that's over a year old, a scanner I bought over three years ago, and the camera I bought over two.  As limited as my apartment storage is, I keep the packaging for every gadget and computer component I buy for as long as I can, if for no other reason that to be able to move them safely.

To be perfectly honest, I think you're an the kind of person who loves being "the victim".  I mean COME ON!  It's all some grand conspiracy to have a generous return policy and then see if you can weed out those returns, isn't it?  Those Neuros guys are so conniving.  Your theory is ridiculous and IMO insulting to a company that simply wants to deliver the best product they can.

Here's a news flash:  the whole world isn't out to stick it to you.

I've had this firmware(2.0.0) for few weeks already because Johan sent it to me and it still didn't fix the Green Screen of Death that I mentioned before unless the fw he sent was beta.  My version still had no bookmark function or .srt subtitle supports.

Yeah, mine didn't bring me a cup of coffee and my slippers either.

But this model of the 442 doesn't have the hardware for a USB host. Just because of the fact that it doesnt have a USB port. (the ports like the one on your computer.)

I'm pretty sure that's the point.
