Banana Pi BPI-M3 2nd Giveaway - Enter for a Chance to Win

It`s Nov., so where goes the 1002 sample boards, sir?

its 12. it says in about a week right? so im guessing it will be pretty soon.

Fine fine.

Since they also did not reply. I will just change the 2 bpi m3 giveaway to people on this forum.

Those people do exist since you doubt it that much then dont apply for one hikalu.

I guess I will pick based on activeness of people in this thread.

Based on most likes. tkaiser and alantrundle will be selected for this 2 board giveaway. Emails will be sent to them to see if they want one.

Also the other 10 board giveaway will be decided by sinovoip, not me.

There is no alantrundle in this thread. You guys are totally liars. Such a shame. As for activeness, I think your math sucks.

alantrundle has second most likes for all time under users other than moderators. fair enough>

not 10 pcs ,it will more than 10 pcs .:slight_smile:

stop acting like a child

I wanted to say the same thing to that guy. Itā€™s sad and annoying that he has to jump into everyoneā€™s post and mention stuff like that.

The free sample thread also clearly states that not everyone will get one and it doesnā€™t say that they are giving away 1000 samples. It says they are giving some away from their initial 1000pc batch. No need to give the admins a hard time about it, I donā€™t think that will win their hearts enough to send you one.

I think itā€™s great that they are having these giveaways in the first place but, imo, be more thankful the final cost isnā€™t as expensive as other boards on the market. I canā€™t wait to buy one of these and Iā€™m planning on buying at least one the second its available

yep, somebodyā€™s just gotta say something. Iā€™m so annoyed by this guy repeating this s**t. Please STOP the LOOPING, Mr. H

I have a wordpress blog, but I won`t promote Sinovoip product. Are you sucking their d*ck? I am speaking truth, I got nothing to hide.

we will let projectbananapi give us the user name who have winner BPI-M3, and we will send sample later.

Wow, looks like someoneā€™s just got so mad about being lectured! Sucking d*ick? Really mature of you, you eat with that mouth or you kiss your mom with it too? As for the ā€œWordpress blogā€ which I donā€™t think you really have one, if you donā€™t show it to us and just keep talking like that, youā€™re really full of shit though. And I bet Sinovoip doesnt really need you, coz they didnā€™t pick you as one of their winnerssssssss! You can keep barking as much as you can if this can make you feel better, do it then, we all understand.

Hi,

Iā€™m student at an university in Vienna. At the moment Iā€™m writing on my bachelor thesis with the topic ā€œhome automation with embedded systemsā€.

The Banana Pi M3 would be a nice development board for this work.

I hope to get one of the first boards from youā€¦ :slight_smile:

Well, The two here are given to forum member tkaiser and one of the giveaway winners Andrzej

When BPI starts shipping out the samples we will update again.

O yea, if you look at the FAQ there is in big lettering http://forum.banana-pi.org/faq Always Be Civil

Iā€™m puzzled. I was thinking a single entry was the same as lots of entries. I havenā€™t had anything to add to all this bickering, so now I have pretty much no chance of winning. Based on this, Iā€™ve decided to order the R Pi 2ā€¦

I am planning to open a tech channel and website and need a headstart over the others and what better than the Banana pi m3.

The give away samples of M3 have been sent to the first two people.

tkaiser, an active forum member and andrzej, giveaway winner

Congratulations

Is there no simple way to apply for test boards like Lemaker and Orange Pi do?

I have written emails and written on facebook to try and get your attention - unfortunately no responses.

I run htpcguides.com and would like to benchmark your board and provide ready-made media server images.

Please get in touch if you are interested as this will be the last method I use to request test boards.

The reason is simple: They have to fear independent reviews due to the state of software/drivers (I talked about with Jean-Luc Aufranc from cnx-software.com a while ago ā€“ they never sent a board for review which is a clear sign that products suck)

For your purpose (HTPC) the Banana Pi M3 is always the worst choice since we will never see HW accelerated video decoding and the USB-to-SATA bridge used on the board is slow as hell: http://linux-sunxi.org/Banana_Pi_M3#SATA

It lackā€™s I/O bandwidth, software/drivers and support. Best thing to do with it: Avoiding.

please send a mail to [email protected] , she have send some free sample out ,you can show your website ,and ask judy to send free sample to you.
