Hi, Acesabe:
Thanks for the questions.
Yes, Geekbox is exactly fully designed by us, actually when we designed and developed Geekbox, we named it as Cross, as we thought it was a completely new concept like the name Cross itself, the product can be expanded/cross to different products like projector, MiniTV, development board etc when match different carrier boards.
As we were(& are) a small team, so we cooperation with another partner and with a new brand: Geekbox. Both the website and forum are not built by us, and we were also quite confused in the spam even we kept running the forum. I had to say, my personally always felt guilty for the Geekbox users. But for business reason, we cannot continue to run the Geekbox forum in the case that our partner tend to abandon the brand.
It’s a real hard choice for us to start our own new brand Khadas as we are still a small team at this point, it means that we will meet more challenges like marketing which we have never been engaged in yet, but anyway, WE DID IT, AND ALSO, WE WILL PERSIST ON IT!
Regarding the Khadas VIM, we will provide a long term technical support, it will be at least 3 years ROM updating and 5 years technical support.
It’s a long story between Geekbox and Khadas, but I can’t write it down in English in a good way, but I still want use a Chinese word to describe my feelings at the moment:
路虽远，行则将至；事虽小，不为不成。
Thanks & Regret!
