forgive me for playing devil's advocate, but from what I gather LVD has bought a number of V8's and is preparing to sell them in the European market.
He is also stating that Jinke will never get the V2's working and that the Linux software will never work.
I'm afraid that LVD has a vested interest in talking down the V2, in favour of his 'hacked for europeans' V8's.
Secondly the point's he has are fairly moot...
The V2 does have a 200mhz processor so of course the battery life is going to be shorter but to be honest if i can run a V2 without recharging and read half of what the v8 stats are (5000 page views) thats still 8 novels worth...so probably 3 weeks of reading between recharges. which will be plenty for me.
Secondly that V2 takes 15 seconds to boot. hmmm first of all that is not proven, and secondly I don't believe it. Linux embedded has a very small footprint and has been used on lots of devices and is not reknowned for going slow.
My point is I'm not going to rush out and get a V8 until a sample version of the V2 is out and has been tested by the good people of this forum, and as long as Jinke don't do an 'Irex' and can get samples out to us early adopters by the end of thismonth, I'll take all of what LVD say's with a pinch of salt.
