Some
forlorn posts over on the nuPlay forum seem to be asking for hardware, software or updates on when either will appear, so it appears I'm not alone, but it's impossible to verify or falsify Lemon's claims that there are customers that have received units.
The link to the nuPlay forum was working when I made that post (although I can't prove that, so it'd be handy if anyone who followed my link would confirm it), but has since
gone offline. I don't imagine for a moment that Lemon is attempting to hide the past from his hospital bed; I'd speculate that another member of the "nuPlay team" took it down as part of routine maintenance, and that the timing of its disappearance just after I posted potentially embarrassing links to it here is pure coincidence[1][2]. Doncha just hate link rot? Google to the rescue; cached copies of the four most recent threads can (for now, at least) be found at:
[1] Please note that my speculative explanation, while plausible, is neither verifiable nor falsifiable on its own.
[2] I won't answer any difficult questions about my theories on this public forum; for more information please e-mail
me@difficultquestio.ns, but note that there's a very good chance I may disappoint you later by explaining that I never got your e-mail (and I may take weeks to reply if I ever do confirm getting it) because I have amazingly bad luck when it comes to technical problems with my e-mail.
EDIT 2013-07-12 to add: as
posted separately, a couple of the cache links above broke, and the forum is still
down as of this writing; alternative sources are:
