09:32.57weheWhere can I get a hawkboard? The only shop in germany selling it (farnells german branch) doesn't sell to customers, only to businesses.
10:37.16eFfeMwehe did you try ordering from India directly ?
10:37.32eFfeMthey will ship worldwide afaik
11:19.11weheeFfeM but they only accept payment by direct bank transfer (which is 1. difficult without IBAN and 2. not cancellable in case they don't deliver - unlike credit card payment)
12:38.00eFfeMwehe was afk, innovate also accept credit card: http://innovatesolutions.net/hawkboard/
12:38.09eFfeMusd 89 + usd 25 shipping
12:38.42eFfeMalso specialcomp in the us sells the board and will ship to europe. not sure what that means wrt price.
12:38.51weheeFfeM unfortunately, I ended up in a dead end on their website
12:39.17weheeFfeM specialcomp?
12:40.01eFfeMhttps://specialcomp.com/hawkboard/index.htm
12:40.22wehehow do I order there?
12:41.03weheok: click on "shop"
12:41.10eFfeMclick on the hawk picture
12:41.31eFfeMperhaps drop them a mail for shipping fee
12:42.24eFfeMinnovate also gave me a page where i could enter cc details, but i must say that a collegue of mine had problems ordering with cc too
12:50.45weheI hope, they will find a distributor in Europe soon. I'm trying to order at specialcomp now; but it's still a little inconvenient.
12:51.51weheBut the hawkboard seems to be a little dream come true for people wanting to play around with systems on ARM basis.
12:52.50eFfeMwehe there are also some other options (beagleboard and variants, sheevaplug and variants etc etc)
12:57.22weheAn easy to add monitor seems to be a unique feature to me.
12:58.05eFfeMwehe, beagleboard has dvi (over hdmi connector)
12:59.13eFfeMwehe you might try to contact farnell, in NL you can order as private person too if it is > eur 50, but you need to mail/fax (and maybe pay in advance), googling on farnell privat seems to indicate some have achieved this in .de too
13:01.28weheeFfeM, thanks - I will wait for specialcomps answer first.
13:07.30eFfeMother option: http://www.friendlyarm.net/products/mini2440
13:07.54eFfeM(don't have that onemyself)

13:30.59franktangowehe: did you try that shop http://www.hbe-shop.de?
13:31.41franktangoThey claim to sell for Farnell to private people. Currently the Hawkboard order number is not available there but it is pretty new. So asking could help.
13:31.48wehefranktango, yes, but they claim the farnell order number doesn't exist
13:32.28franktangoThey say that you need to contact them for NEW products.
