The following is based on a true story.

I want to offer transparent ones as well (as people requested them), but I don't want to make too many colors from the beginning, as that would increase the costs A LOT.

Although I want a black case myself, I like it that transparent cases will be produced. It will be interesting to see how people will paint them.

We had to revert back to a rolled one though (still with redundancy), as simulations showed the S-Curve the other cable made put too much stress on them.

The S-Curve solution seemed a little bit too simple. But it was worth a try (sometimes the simple solutions are the best ones, sometimes they aren't).

@EvilDragon, I was thinking, why not DEMAND photos of the next batch of cases BEFORE the shipping? And by photos I mean clear and visible photos.

 

[Kiga]

The logo plate color ?

It'll be black. 3000 already produced

Great news!

That's what I did, and I think I posted that in the news thread as well (unless I forgot it )

Nah, I'm sure that you posted it but I didn't notice XD.

True or not. Even if they just f*cked up, that would be the story you really want to hear, not some excuse. It has similarities with parent child relation, you do not want to hear they failed, but that is preferable over any fake story.

yep, pics or it didn't happen ;D

This is heavy!

There's that word again- 'heavy'. Why are things so heavy in your city? ... Is there a problem with the earth's gravitational pull?"

Oh, the irony.
If they did cover up their lateness, insert stereotypes about Greeks being slow here
I don't think they're lying though. Pretty much anything could have happened, and solid points have already been made here.

On a side note : I wasn't here during Pandora, what's with that volcano ?

I can't remember the details, but somewhere along the line there was also Hitler fighting a bear... on fire.
•or something like that•

My personal assessment Is that alcoholic Jaffa cakes were the root cause...

And it happened a month or two after ED saying something along the lines "everything that could go wrong has gone wrong. We should be fine from now on, unless there's a volcano or something"

 

[Yasu]

I'm not worried. I could cancel for a full refund, right? If that's the case, I have no reason whatsoever to believe we are being screwed over. Not that I believe that anyway, but it's always good to have an exit plan just in case

 

[Askarus]

As always: "I need to see it right in front of me to fully believe that I'll get one as promised"

I remember that, yeah. Didn't know it also affected you guys. Kudos to ED for the prediction though.

Indeed, if you look in the weekly stats thread you'll see that most weeks (apart from this past week) we usually have a couple of cancellations. Whether that's people cancelling to upgrade, or because they're getting cold feet (or for other reasons I've not really considered) we usually can't tell, but I've not heard anyone claiming they've cancelled and they didn't get their money back eventually yet.

A month or two back we had a week where the cancellations wiped out the positive preorders such that the total went down by 6 that week, but I think there ED had built up a small backlog of cancellations. Since then we'vre had small tranches of cancellations most weeks, so I think he's kept more on top of them since then.

The important message here, though, is that in total the pre-order list has continued to gradually grow through a year of gradual device development. It will be interesting to see what the rate of change becomes after ED does his assembly video of a working unit - and again after prototypes ship - and again as the first wave of production units ship. ED has hinted at the possibility of doing a Kickstarter in there somewhere as well.

The kickstarter could be awesome in order to low the price and give some public light to the project (because being honest, this project is still in a deep dark cavern).

exactly, this remains me Blackberry - good project, bad marketing
l´ve looked up on amazon and android phone (about 200 euro) has already 4GB rams ... every weak without device in production will affect income
