It is still a problem child. I think that Slim Devices may be too hardware oriented and too techy. I work for a company that makes test and measurement equipment for use by professionals. I recently spent a year as a volunteer working with customers to solve problems that they were facing that our usual channels did not resolve I also am on multiple teams dealing with field failures.
Outside of batteries (sigh) absolutely, without question, the biggest cause of problems is firmware. In a field that used to be all hardware we now have more firmware developers than hardware folks and we still constantly fall short on our products. And then there is the problem of engineers not understanding consumers, and really not caring. Lastly the pressure to get a product out really causes designers, especially firmware designers, to not address problems they are not forced to. I suspect that Slim Devices suffers from these problems. Any product that is defined by engineers and whose final form and function is controlled by engineers will fail to be acceptable to consumers. That is a bit of an absolute on my part, but I truly believe it. By the way, I am an engineer. -- regalma1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ regalma1's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6658 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67040 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
