Mja, het project is gebaseerd op nu al verouderde hardware. Bovendien weer geen sPIF uitgang. Weinig meerwaarde t.o.v. de gemiddelde ARM bordjes.

WSJ: How many devices are spoken for?

UHRMAN: We have more than 63,000 backers, and we’ve been selling units every day. The number of orders have grown each month. We haven’t disclosed any numbers. I think it’s fair to say to get established players in the retail space excited about pre-selling OUYA speaks to the excitement in the marketplace. We’ve had more than 63,000 backers, and more than 68,000 consoles on order today.

Update: Uhrman meant to say the console had more than 63,000 Kickstarter backers, and more than 68,000 consoles on order including backers, a company spokesperson said. Uhrman said in the original interview that there were 68,000 Kickstarter backers.

Ja, maar dit is gewoon een android doosje met een oud type ARM bord. Zie de meerwaarde niet zo.

Hey Gang,

It’s Friday -- that means it’s time for this week’s update on early backer OUYA shipments.

OUYAs continue to crank off the production lines, and I’m happy to report that 32 percent of all early backer orders will be on the move by the end of this week (slightly ahead of our original estimates).

And ... as a result of this week’s momentum, we’re now estimating that 50 percent of all orders will be on the way to early backers by the end of next week!

Finally, I wanted to confirm that your Limited Edition OUYAs willl start shipping next week.

AND, no matter where you live, UK, Canada, Japan, or Germany, or the US, I’m happy to report those shipments pick up steam next week.

We understand that, for many of you, this process can’t move quickly enough. Thank you for your patience and support as our team continues to do everything humanly possible to get orders out the door and to your doorstep.

Until next week!

Julie

Een maat van me heeft een OUYA besteld, maar ik heb echt geen flauw idee waarom je er eentje zou willen aanschaffen. Geen enkele grote ontwikkelaar gaat er toch voor produceren?

Big news! I am thrilled to share that OUYA has raised $15 million in funding from new investors. This is a really important step towards being around for the long haul. Our round was led by Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, the same firm that originally backed Electronic Arts, and includes other great investors such as Mayfield Fund, NVIDIA (who also makes the chips inside of OUYA), Shasta Ventures (who backed great hardware companies like Nest), and Occam Partners.

So, what does this mean for you?

It means we’ve got additional resources to to make OUYA everything it can be. It means that we can increase production to meet our demand and continue to support game developers who are building innovative and exclusive games for OUYA.

Also, as you know, we’ve been shipping our early backers their units, gearing up for our official launch in June. The demand we’re seeing from gamers and our retailers is beyond our expectations, so, to meet all this demand, we are shifting our launch date by three weeks to give us time to make more OUYAs. Our official launch date will be June 25th. This change in ship date does not affect backer shipments. We’re still on track to have units shipped to our early backers – from both Kickstarter and OUYA.tv preorders before the end of May.

Wow -- what a week.

As you might have heard, we announced some pretty amazing news yesterday, and I’ve spent the majority of the past 24 hours speaking with media around the world -- which is both exhilarating and exhausting.

We couldn’t have made it this far without your energy and support!

Now -- back to our regular programming.

It was another week of forward progress for our operations team as shipments continued on track toward our goal of shipping every early backer OUYA by the end of this month (and well before OUYAs will hit store shelves on June 25). As this week draws to a close, 65 percent of all units will have left our warehouses and will be on trains, planes, etc. en route to backer doorsteps around the world (see chart below for the latest numbers).

And:

• Of this week’s shipments, more than 60 percent were international orders which is our most significant activity for international orders to-date -- we anticipate international orders to continually ramp over the next two weeks until completely fulfilled so keep your eyes open if you live outside of North America!
• Limited editions continued to move off of the production lines (albeit slower than we had initially anticipated). We remain confident that 100 percent of these orders will be en route to doorsteps two weeks from today.

It’s been an amazing week on many levels for the team at OUYA, and I think we all feel good ensuring that each of our early backers will receive OUYAs before they appear on store shelves for the general public to purchase.

Until next week!

Julie

Yep...it’s true.

Your OUYA has arrived at our distribution center and we expect it to land on your doorstep within the next two weeks (give or take a day or two depending on your location).

Be on the lookout for a confirmation email that will follow once your shipment has been picked up for delivery and which will include your personalized tracking number.

Als het goed is kan je hem vinden als je op de zin:
P.S. In case you were curious, you were Kickstarter backer number
zoekt.

Staat in de mail waarin je username bevestigd is (titel: Confirm you are xxxxxx)

Backer nummer is in princiepe de volgorde die ze afwerken.
Als ik hier en daar zo wat lees krijg je je tracking nummer volgende week en dan duurt het ongeveer nog een week voordat je hem binnen hebt. (dus die mail klopt aardig )
