The amateur quality of the website (esp. the prose) worries me. Do we have any further information on the owner? Or, the location of the company?
I could quite easily imagine cubiebox being no more than an amateur scammer's effort to cash in on the uptick in interest in ARM boxes.
In particular, the grammar on the parent Company's website (http://cubietech.com/ http://cubietech.com/) is horrific. Plus, it has a newsfeed populating from god knows where: "Missing NY teen found safe
Marriage doesn't make people happier, it just stabilizes the happiness they already have. The research shows that the married people surveyed weren't any happier than..."
Not encouraging.
- ghost91 14y agoIt seems to be a small chinese company. I've no reason to believe they are scammer. After a google search this "http://www.linkedin.com/pub/dir/?first=Tom&last=Cubie http://www.linkedin.com/pub/dir/?first=Tom&last=Cubie profile belongs to the cofounder.
- trotsky 14y ago90% of the 2nd/3rd tier arm market is like that, they certainly have their problems but they're almost all legitimate companies that deliver a product.
- orangethirty 14y agoAgreed. I've worked with some of them (with the mini2440), and a lot of their websites are just ugly, and out of date. They are mostly used as a place to post their phone numbers, and not as a business front. Keep that in mind.
- hundchenkatze 14y agoAlso all of the generic comments on the buy page(http://cubieboard.org/buy/ http://cubieboard.org/buy/). Most of which are asking "Please keep me updated when its available for shipping." and getting the response "ok, we will inform you when ready to ship." Seems likely the Q and A were posted by the same person to give the illusion of popularity.
