    Still Believe In Craig & Ed Despite The Recent Revalations

    1. Credit card refunds, Graig and company blames the banks, when in reality they are the ones to blame because they were ignorant of Credit Card rules. 2. They say two month for years. 3. They spend time on other new projects like icontrol pad, when I'm sure it could have used that time and...

    Not sure if some people in this thread understood me. When then there is no work do be done, one then doesn't normally keep paying your hourly workers. i.e. you let them go. Then later on when you have more work to be done, you again hire them back again at hourly rate. Thus if one budgets...

    Razor-thin or not, the 5 out of 8 people needed to be budgeted as a fix cost for labor, since basic assembly workers are paid by the hour. That 5 people would equal to 2,500 hundreds units out of the 4,000 being built (if there were post to be 8 in total.) That is a non-trivial amount of money...

    Sounds like bad budgeting planning, if you let people go due to no work, there should have been left over money waiting to re-hire them when work again is needed. Unless it's spent elsewhere during that time, or it never had the full budget in the first place.

    So ED says they have 8 people that are working 10 hours shifts, and making a minimum of 3 units per hour, that be a minimum 240 units a day. So why are they only making ~70 units a day now? Is Craig, and ED the only ones making them? Well guess it can't be them, as they seem to spend a lot of...

    From your own link. Well happens that the Radio and Telecommunication Terminal Equipment (R&TTE) directive will require the radio transmitter in the Pandora will make it mandatory that you use a third party (the notified body) for approval, but hey why take my word for it From rfi-global or...

    It's there in case my advice about disabling radios still doesn't protect about uncertified radio device being in the pandora is wrong. As that's more of a question for as the right body to ask. No I'm the owner of the company.

    I too have this 123 pages PDF from the manufacture also, I bet the PDF is named "WG7210 WLAN+BT TX SM FCC CE Test Report" guess what it's about, it's the "pre-scan on EMI test report" it would only help in getting full CE compliance (for Wifi) tests go faster, but doesn't make it all that much...

    ED you pretty much just confirmed what I feared most regarding CE certification when you said That caused me to re-read some of your old CE posts that I might have missed, as CE isn't that much cheaper than FCC, in regards to an uncertified radio device, as your required to use...

    When Will I Get My Pandora? (Line 1000-1100)

    So getting back a reply saying your queue position is "500-1500" vs "3500-4000" is meaningless (in your view), Got it!

    I believe the BeagleBoards kits are low volume (few K), and the makers of the Beagleboards have a close relations to TI, likely why you got the recommendation from TI. Now that opens up another serious question, if this assembly company can make few thousand beagleboards, why can't it make...

    When Will I Get My Pandora? (Line 1000-1100)

    Look at the recent history, people at #1 have theirs, and people (say above #1000) don't. Also helps inform the customer to find out if they are high on the queue, say at #4000, and let them decid if can wait the (two months) or get an refund.

    @ED Well that's fine and dandy, but in the end the customer holds you responsible not the assembly house. You guys have full control who you selected for assembly, so due diligence was in your court when you selected them. i.e. you take the risk when working with non-local companies, or...

    When Will I Get My Pandora? (Line 1000-1100)

    Actually it does help, as it informs the customer where they stand in the queue, and apparently where you stand in the queue can make a big difference in when you get it.
