Looks like someone has already received his Gemini...
« on: January 17, 2018, 09:22:57 pm »
Steve Litchfield is "...a writer, editor and presenter, best known for his work in the mobile industry for publications like "All About Symbian", "Smartphone Essentials magazine" and the podcasts "The Phones Show" and "Phones Show Chat" (source: Wikipedia)

Maybe he was handed one of those 20 units which were shown at CES. His first comment on it was that it's "wonderful"... sounds promising!

Am I the last to find this new Gemini website? It's here. A poster on the Indiegogo page says it is not an official site, but is run by one of the founders or participants of the [would-be] users Facebook page.

Atari Portfolio (yes, it still works and yes, I bought it new)
Libretto 110 CT (with docking station and all kinds of PCMCIA stuff)
And, now, a Gemini and, fortunately, a GPD Pocket

You beat me to it  I was writing the news item while you were posting this... we have partnered with them and we are linked on their page.

Twitter reply said Steve only had a pre-production unit for a hour.  Still, love all the positive feedback so far.

Steve used to write about Symbian Nokia phones on the AllAbout sites. I recall he was mostly interested in the cameras and image quality, so I doubt the Gemini's external option will impress him much.

Steve's relationship with Psion devices goes way back. I remember his website 3-lib was one of the primary resources for Psion users back in the 90's.

Absolutely!  I was going to say, if anyone deserves early access to Psion-reborn, Steve Litchfield should be on the short list.  I am very encouraged by his early positive feedback
