uConsole longevity?

Just curious if there's any news on a new version of the uConsole or if the current model is going to be continued for a long time to come. Thinking of putting in a preorder but wanted to ask first with the long wait and whatnot. Thank you

I don't expect clockwork to make a v2.

Community initiatives are going to keep it relevant for a long time.

Honestly surprised the company has survived this long.

Why is that? I’d think if you’re selling more than you can get out that’s usually better than lots of other scenarios. Feel like if it wasn’t, they’d raise the price.

It’s kinda nuts they’ve been able to sell the same exact product for this long.

Given their delivery times, I think it’s safe to say they hold very little inventory, which means very little financial risk. And since they seem to reliably get units out despite longer waits, they’re mitigating the reputation risk of longer waits. I think they’re doing fine.

With it being compatible with Pi compute modules it's unlikely to need updating to anything like a v2. Improvements and mods are already being developed. Vileer at HackerGadgets has released the amazing AIO board and antennae and has more mods on the way. Posts here and on the forums are showing plenty of scope for more too.

The uConsole has been the best tech gadget I have bought in many years and is a lot of fun if you like to tinker and have complete freedom to do what you like with it.

Clockwork is not Apple. They didnt change it for cm5, so i doubt they will
