that i have asked for before, and i echo the sentiment. however, it is not easy for the engineers, who as usual are being whipped to deliver new functionality - that is where corporate priorities always lie, whereas debugging and fixing code is lost productivity. i know, i was there many years ago, and things have become even more aggressice in commercial software land. so it is not the engineers, the communication calls for an executive decision to disclose. and perhaps it is simply that they don't yet know the cause, because up to now in these very forums many diehard users where screaming those of us who reported issues down, telling us we were being purposedly negative when stating we just could not use the Duet in our environment despite our familiarity with the SB product offering. i think that represented a delay. there were theories floating around it being a compatibility issue with some wireless routers, however what frustrated me at the time is that despite putting that into circulation, logitech-sd never actually officially released a list of wireless routers that were proven to be compatible with the Duet. and having a wireless router that otherwise provides flawless services -including video streaming to the TV- in the household, i am hesitant to upgrade without having a guarantee of compatibility. i would go for a dual band and N compatible router, but hesitate to do so if my $400 duet will not perform any better, and there is a chance that it might if i pick the right router. the reasons why we perceive logitech-sd to be a bit quiet on this issue given the number of threads that have popped up in these forums could be manifold. i find it interesting that there seems to be some more fact-findin going on after successfully releasing the Sboom, and i would understand that (in fact i am going to order another boom as soon as i finish typing this). the priorities may have been set that way given the slimdevices team's need to prove the success of their concept within a public comapny like Logitech. and i want them to succeed because i love the concept. then again, the worst case scenario is that there was a fundamental flaw in a certain batch of Duets - and that it is daunting to officially release the information and thereby invite RMAs even from those whose devices are performing well in their environment, or are happy to live with the idiosynchrasies... all speculation, because i know that (a) one thing i commend the support team is the fact they quickly grant RMAs to customers, and (b) i am optimistic this focus on the issue will solve it. i have seen the development team quickly change things before. -- pablolie ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pablolie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3816 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=52702 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
