LCD's burn in too.

Whoa, you're right. I had no idea, thanks.

The left player is the hours, the right player is the minutes. They have apparently sold out, but are holding the last units for sale on eBay. And if spending hundreds of dollars for a clock isn't your thing, they also have a free screensaver for the Mac or Windows. (But if you have a CRT, it could be a screen destroyer due to non-moving features like the net.)

[FB3...]

Not sure how they are stating the FB2 wasn't a big success, most retailers completely sold out quite early on.    Go into any Target, Walmart or other retailer and the shelves are spilling over filled with various Plug n Play's, while you would be lucky to find a Flashback 2 on the shelf.

Curt,

 

I'm not going to argue that the FB2 wasn't a big success, but they are no longer scarce. I think a new shipment must have come in.

 

I live in the Pacific Northwest, and all stores were completely out of Flashback 2's a couple of months ago. I was in a Target today that had at least a half dozen on the shelf, and later I was in a Fred Meyer that had three dozen on display, and had another one out of the box and hooked up to a TV. (I was so surprised at the huge display I actually stopped and counted - they were stacked two tall, two deep, seven across with a separate stack of eight a few feet away.)

[Flashback 2 rev C Status Report]

I believe that Curt has posted that if the Rev C comes out, it won't be until mid-year.

In this post from November, Curt mentions "March'ish":

Is it March'ish yet? Given that there were none, and now there are lots of FB2's in stores (at least locally), I was hoping that the Rev C had arrived. Did I miss newer information that put the availability later, or put the whole Rev C release in doubt?

[Flashback 2 rev C Status Report]

I have been waiting for the Rev C to come out.  I guess this question is for Mr. Vendel.  When will it arrive?  I'm a little worried as the current units have apparantly sold out, and another post indicated that there is no news on another order?

In the last week or two I've seen tons of units at my local Target and Fred Meyer stores, both of which were sold out earlier. Is there any chance these are Rev C, or did another batch of Rev B's get manufactured (or finally delivered)?

 

Thanks to Curt or anyone else who can offer any insight.
