Provo Craft New Cricut Gypsy Revealed!

So, we've all been wondering what was in the mystery box that ProvoCraft has been tantalizing us with. Turns out it is an exciting new hand held device called the Cricut Gypsy! This handheld device lets you scrapbook on the run (literally if you are one of the rouge scrappers who haven't returned their promo copy of the Gypsy...). It also lets you store and manage all your Cricut cartridges, designs and photos in one single place.

However, many are concerned as well as excited due to some measures ProvoCraft is taking to make sure you only ever have one copy of the Cricut Cartridge... it seems once you load your Cricut cartridge onto your Gypsy, the cartridge itself is totally erased! Therefore you only ever have one single copy of any given cartridge. This causes understandable consternation with many scrappers who share, borrow, and trade their cartridges on a regular basis. Also, it goes without saying that electronic devices tend to... crash and burn. At $50 a pop, loosing your collection of Cricut cartridges could be a very large hit in the wallet.

The device also seems to connect to the internet and gives you a central place where you can download and store your photos and designs online as well. Perhaps it will also upload each Cricut cartridge you download onto it so that if your Gypsy should ever crash, you can still get access to the cartridges again and you haven't lost everything. That seems like a reasonable solution to the problem.
