Has there been any independent hands on or review of this device, even a prototype ?
No, there are no reviews of it I'm aware of, yet. The project is for now looking promising, though; it seems to be progressing nicely, and I like the fact that they post regular updates, and are open to customer's requests and questions. Only time will tell if it will be successfully released; the reason I have now opened them is that I'm closely following the project, so I wanted a separate forum (and the SW ones, in advance) to consolidate all the Gemini-related news I'll find.
By the way, I cannot read your attached image; I get an error page with the message

There is no form below.
Thanks for pointing it out, I have now fixed it. As it turned out, if a post has an attached file which is shown as an inline image, if the user browsing it doesn't have download permissions in that forum (like all the guests, or validating members), he won't be able to see it. There will be a download link instead, and he won't be able anyway to download the file, as you have seen. You have not seen any login form below the message since you were already logged in, the problem was caused by something else.
At first I set all the news-related forums to have no upload and download permissions to anyone except the admins. To fix the problem I have now set the ability to download the attachments to everyone on all the forums (except for banned users). The side effect of this is that now there's no need to register in order to download any attached file; this was a good motivation for new users to register, but I find more important to be able for everyone to see all the inline images.
PS: in case you are wondering, yes, Varti_test is me; I have created it so that I can use it to quickly check the forum as a normal user when I'm doing changes.
