EZ Flash IV Lite re-design *Update*

[scrawl]

It's a very surreal feeling seeing your artwork on an obscure chinese website in the form of a leaked image

For anyone interested, you can see EZ-Flash packaging design which I entered into the competition here

there is a black version...havent seen the navy in the pic i saw on sosuke forums..i saw ice, pink, black and white...didnt see a navy..i hope they dont just randomly neglect one color, thatd be weird

 

[TheSpade]

I'm glad I have a white DS Lite.

 

[faceless]

good things come to those who wait?

 

[martin88]

Sucks to be early adopter.

 

[WoWz]

BOOOO we want old PCB with a new casing!!

 

[martin88]

So finally EZ4LÂ also fits flush with DS Lite.

Sucks for those who have the old EZ4L that sticks out.

Re: EZ-Flash IV Lite Compact

Subject: Fuck you!

I think existing EZ-Flash IV Lite owners should get a discount towards the new one. This is flat out admitting without actually saying it that the original product sucked (which it does).

After being slapped in the face so many times being an early adopter, all the teams can stuff it as far as I'm concerned. No concern for the customers that allow them to completely redesign their products in such short periods of time. I'm sick of receiving beta products and shoddy rushed-to-market products for the same cost as the final products. I'm sick of teams not offering a navy colour, only to offer every other colour with no rhyme or reason for excluding navy (or whatever colour they decide to exclude).

Ugh.

UGH!

Rant, rant, rant.

(I know I said "good", up above, and it is good for people that DIDN'T purchase the original, because the original is a piece of crap. However..)

 

[martin88]

I don't think EZ Team will read any message with the F-word in the subject.

That being said, there is always a risk involved being a early adopter.

I think existing EZ4 lite owners should have this new EZ4 lite for free !
We have been beta testers of it so we should have the final version.
I'm totally disappointed by the way that EZTeam consider their customers : no US or UE official support, they release a first product with many many bugs and no final release of their client... And now they release a new version !! tsss

 

[zragnarok]

i wonder if this mean that they will stop releasing new kernel updates for the old EZ4-Lite...that would really be screwing us over

 

[shaora]

Sincerely, I didn't think about this point but in fact it would not surprise me if they'll stop their poor "support" of 1st EZ4 lite.

One advice to users : don't buy EZ Team's products.

uhmm... no. EZ4 and EZ4 lite already use identical kernels because... they both use SD cards. I dont think they will stop updating the kernel that current EZ4 and EZ4 lite owners use (and there are a bunch of us out there).

QUOTEOne advice to users : don't buy EZ Team's products.

I could say the same about M3... M3SD, then M3SD slim, then M3SD lite - they did exactly the same thing and Im sure those who had the M3SD werent happy at the suddenly shrunken size (PCB dated 1 month after M3SD released, but not sold or announced for 4 or 5 months). The advice I would give is: "know what you are getting into before you pick one" - I still haven't been disappointed by my EZ products yet (as with certain other companies, their strong point seems to be producing hardware wrather than other language-based software).

 

[shaora]

But all M3 versions work well.
EZ4 Lite beta version could also been reduced in size without changing the PCB (that's what I have done !). That means that the fist PCB was faulty.

I don't think that you could know perfectly something if you don't possess it. Nevertheless, when you buy something, you can be disappointed even if you have read a lot about it.

well if there are any major diffrencies in the products.. other than the size, I'm going to feel rather fooled by EZteam...

 

[shaora]

That's it ! Since they don't need to change the PCB to reduce the size, so...

 

[HugeCock]

Blah screw the EZ team....I used to be a fanboy but now their official site is down, nobody at sales answers emails or speaks english....not sure which but I have never got a response from them. Sad too cause I have 4 EZ products on my desk and the cheapest one of 35 dollars doesnt work and I have nobody to talk to get it fixed. Releasing multiple versions of a product is just buisness come on, After this the EZ team will release a slot 1 version just like M3/G6/ and SC so you can't be too mad at them for that. I am just very against buying anymore products from a company that does not have a place to get OFFICIAL tech support. Sosuke has a great site but if your cart is dead or not working you need to kinda hope a real EZ member reads your message through his forum? blah not my cup of tea.

 

[Hooya]

Yeah, but, what about this?

Can someone figure it out? This was on youtube two months ago. It looks like a standard dust cover modded to fit the EZ4L.

That mod requires a hefty modification of the PCB, you need to file down the top and bottom ends to get it to fit, and also need to file and hack the crap out of the dust cover.
