So now it appears that the 7.8" devices are still in production, only the 6" ones are done. At least hopefully I will get a preview from other people with the 6" ones to properly temper my expectations.

I never received the device, and those that did receive them are severely disappointed. If you come here from the future and are curious if you should back a Topjoy kickstarter then my advice is no.

Do they respond to you at all? Or were you just ignored?

I did receive my device--long, long after it was promised.
And it was--as mentioned above--underwheming. |

The last "update" is from 5 month ago.
They pinned a statement regarding the ongoing issues to the comment section (instead of a post on the update page). -> https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...eader/comments According to this statement about 400 people have not yet recieved their device. They (still) blame the pandemic and a delay in screen production, but promise that they are still working on fullfilling every order. The second paragraph about the software issues, I cannot fully decipher... It sounds like they want to do something about it, eventually... Someone in the comments noticed, that GoodEreader has listed a "Topjoy Butterfly 7.8 Gen 2" device in their store, which is supposed to be released in September (2023). Maybe (hopefully!) that is what the rest of the bakers will recieve: -> https://goodereader.com/blog/product...rfly-7-8-gen-2 Last edited by kyôdai; 06-30-2023 at 04:48 PM. |
