Woo-hoo! PVR5 in 2005!!!
thop: after Bitboys moved to market where they are now, community needs another "soon here killing the competition with magic touch" company.
PowerVR, where's the MBX2? waiting some news about it. I would not be suprised at all if we would only be around 6 to 7 months away from the point where competition brings next generation out on this market.

All this effort for the Dell Axim X50v?
these things take time.
Bitboys G10 was licensed around 2 years ago and only surfaced on japanese market. (don't know the exact model of NEC phone.)
G34 was lisenced by NEC in last summer and somewhere this spring should be coming something using it. (just what I have heard, not official information.)
But the point is that you have to keep popping up new models all the time, because companies want license the best bet on that moment available. Of course when the product using that core is out, there's already available other cores for licensing, but there's always certain amount of delay between available for license and for first commericial hardware implementation. If you stop just waiting homing profits from one product, you most likely miss the next cycle.

Those who have NDA know, but can't tell. I eventually started to call PowerVR next generation hand held / mobile core as MBX2, though the marketing name eventually would be something else.
I am not quite sure about PowerVR's cycle, but Bitboys have quite clear 12 month cycle between generations:
- In 2003, they presented G10,G20,G30 in late July and announced them available to be licensed.
- before end of 2003, G20 was already dropped from availability.
- In early August 2004 they announced G32,G34 and G40. Again all available to be licensed. G10 dropped.
- again, before year changed to 2005, G30 and G32 vanished from their web pages.
last 2 years Bitboys have been profittable and even right now they have 7 job places open. I don't see any reason at the moment why they would not present 3 next generation cores on this year. To company that visited on very edge in early 2002, situation looks very good right now.
gosh... now I feel like thread hijacker.
so, let's foget everything I just said and go back to subject. Megadrive1988
