Analogue Pocket looks awesome. But I wish they have a version without cartridge support to make the device cost a bit less.

I don't think that would change the price much. The slot itself is probably only a few pennies and you can't get cheaper FPGAs without reducing the cores the device is capable of playing. Adding another SKU would just make it more expensive and harder to stock.

Makes sense. But somehow it hurts to buy such a device when I don't have cartridges :(
