You think that's good, wait 'til you see the price of the 2 gig bundle. I doubt very much they'll stay at that for long, and I suspect DealExtreme may be hoping to win over people who they can't directly sell an R4 to any more. It's a new product with unproven support, so my guess is they don't think they can get away with selling it for much more than a 2 gig N-Card clone until people other than just the early-adopters are buying them.
That price was just too tempting. I've got the 2-gig bundle on order right now, so I guess I'll see for myself eventually. One thing that's appealing about the DSTT is that although it's OEM'd by unknown parties, there are two different brandings of it and the firmware is interchangeable between them - no brand locking, no language locking, nada. Compare and contrast that with the R4/M3Simply/English/Chinese situation. The R4/M3Simply is by now well-enough established that I doubt it'll be orphaned any time soon, and the patchers are available to convert between different h/w and language versions, but the lack of version lock-down on the TT might make it less of a risk if either of the current distributors abandons it - or if new distributors take them on too, or if the hardware design is licenced elsewhere or just plain stolen/cloned.
Early days, but I think this is definitely one to watch. Don't think I'd generally recommend it to others just yet because I haven't used it yet, but hey, whatever the right tool is for the job - I got an EZ-V a couple of weeks ago because I'd never had a play with one, and it's since gone to a friend whose youngest child can't be trained not to hit the X button on an R4. Even if it turns out to have a few deficiencies in certain areas, it may well have strengths that make it the best cartridge for particular users.
