[ANN] The world's first handheld Bitcoin device, the Ellet!

[Ente]

Sorry! I thought I was in the bitcoincard thread when I said that.

You successfully confused me to be in the bitcoincard thread too, when I read your post :-)

The Ellet uses a battery and is not a fictitious "project of the future" that paid representatives cannot get their stories straight about the functionality of. It uses a battery. It needs charging like everything else in reality. It also uses standard protocols and does not try to reinvent the wheel of dozens of years of progress "because bitcoin".

Just because you have a strong competitor doesn't mean you have to spit on them everytime you can.

Because their is awesome, is bitcoin only, is cheaper, is thinner,.... Ok I stop, don't want to upset you. Competition is good, and I guess the market will sort it out.

Thanks for answering my question. Now I don't have to buy a watch until this comes out, assuming it can tell time.

Shit! I knew we forgot something...

Where are the pics ?

lol, as long as we know what block it is that is all we need to know.

I actually joked about that to my friends that would should have a block counter instead of a clockface. I might actually go ahead and include that if you choose it in the bitcoin payment module.

+1!
That would be cool
If it can also notify me after N blocks, it would actually be useful when I send bitcoins to an exchange

[ingrownpocket]

Do you have any pics available?
I'm really excited about this 

[BTCurious]

I already have a much better render available for you here, although please keep in mind this is not the design we are actually going for in the production prototype, just the 3rd pre-production prototype that you will see in a future video demonstration.

I think showing the video of the second would be good, because you will both prove that you are actually working on something (even if the video is total crap), AND be able to demonstrate just how much you have improved it with the 3rd generation.
That said, I'm extremely concerned that with the newest version being half the size and designed by twice as good of an engineering team, that the final device will be twice as expensive to manufacture and twice as expensive to manufacture. I wam primarily interested in it due to the low $30 price. As it gets closer to $100, my interest in it would drop exponentially.

Do you need anyone to help design the UI or icons 



_{it would be cool to have a clockface that showed blocks being slowly generated and they fly away with their block number on them, passing by the clock which updates the time.}

Psssst... there is no second-generation video

[cbeast]

I'm convinced that anyone watching that video will soil themselves.

This statement should be in the press release. I want to hear CNN anchors say "Creators of the device insist that anyone who sees the gadget in action will, quote, "totally fucking shit themselves" unquote. We will have more on this story as it develops."

That's a zero too much. You just gave him plus one nanobit, instead of plus one satoshi.

Is it next week again yet?

^^^^

This...

[nimda]

Now it's 4 months. No, seriously.

Can we at least get something from Mr. Blurrycam?

Mr. Blurrycam is below my standards. I'd rather have people barking in the thread than release garbage. It's coming. Sorry for the wait. I just took on 4 more projects as well including SafeBit. Little busy 'round here lately.

Listen assholes, he's being far too productive to be productive right now. Let the man get to work on not delivering everything he's working on, sheesh.
