These are tanks??? I think i might buy one just to have it when my retail Zodiac breaks. I like the some assembly required part.
Would Jim be willing to give out the Zodiac flash utility? We could use that to flash our Zodiacs and put custom applications into the ROM.

I don't know, but I would doubt it. There may well be some IP agreements in effect, and anyway it seems like something that could lead to a dead Zodiac in the hands of the unwary...

| This sounds like quite a steal. I'm tempted to get a couple, but my wife would probably kill me. I actually have a few brand new Z2's still sealed in boxes that were sent to me as final payment of Tapwave's advertising here when they closed up shop. As is always the case, I hemmed and hawed about what to do with them and now that I'd like to ebay them, they've probably lost a lot of their value. Anyone know what still-sealed Z2's are worth on ebay? It still amazes me the prices that the Sony UX50's can command. |

I think they're still fetching around $190-200 or so on Ebay. I'm rather tempted too, even though I already have two Z2's. The idea that these are hand-picked "known good" units is very appealing. And you get a spare LCD and whatever other parts can be obtained from the extra unit too.

Very tempting, especially when you consider the fact that you'd be getting a ton of spare parts to boot, which could also be used for some hacking/custom projects...

I'm definately considering buying one. I just have to make sure I can afford to spend the money. Wireless multiplayer sounds pretty awesome. Just need another Spyhunter game card.

I'm saving up. Since they are built for abuse this will be my outlet. Hopefully they won't go like hotcakes since i really want one.
