Re: [slim] Good omen???

2010-01-22 Thread Henk51

My pre-order status last week (from dec. 1 2009) was changed to EOL
confirmed by Logitech!

So I could collect my money back or alter the order to something else,
which I did, a new tiny notebook.

But the funny thing is Logitech silenced in all languages!!!
Only speculations about release dates, and nothing more.
Get'in touchy with the Touch, well I don't (anymore)!

Logitech (well, andyg who works for them, and is the best person to
know timelines) has been very open about the status of the touch...

It will be ready When It Is Ready.

What would you rather have:
. A hard and fixed delivery date, which will be met whether the
product is ready or not
or
. A best guess as to when the product will be ready, with
acknowledgement that it is really just an educated guess based on when
they believe it will be in a state that will make you happy with the
product instead of being rushed out before it is ready.

Speculation on a 'when it will be ready' is better, IMHO, than shipping
something that is almost ready.

Hopefully he's been trying to lower our expectations so we're all

Hah, that would be nice.

An old adage of predicting timelines: take your best estimate,
increment the number by one and increase the units by one.

So, two weeks becomes three months.

Saves a lot of grief when unexpected complications arise.  (Wow, you
got this done in two months when you said three!  Good job! sure beats
why are you 6 weeks late?)

Re: [slim] Good omen???

2010-01-18 Thread DaveKen

Hi Guys,
Apologies but this may be a long post.
Fascinated by the possible change in Touch order status, I thought I'd
check mine. On the relevant web page I was informed No Orders were
found when copy and pasting the order no. from Logitech's e-mail order
confirmation.
Quickly on to the phone (I'm in the UK) I was soon talking to a young
lady in USA (judging by ringing tone), who also told me she couldn't
find the order and was I sure about it. When told that I was reading it
from Logitech's confirmatory e-mail she put me on hold whist she spoke
to her supervisor. Acouple of minutes later she was back asking me for
my e-mail address and again put me on hold whilst she spoke to her
supervisor. A couple of minutes later she was back to confirm that the
order was found and that in was in process (not proGRESS) and read out
my delivery address for confirmation. I then asked what that meant
exactly and could she advise me of when it was likely to be shipped.
Again put on hold whilst she spoke to the supervisor and this time she
was away a lot longer. She returned to tell me that the supervisor was
not available, but would respond by e-mail or phone (I chose e-mail)
within 24 hours and gave me a reference no. for the call.
I'll keep you posted  -  keep your fingers crossed, the situation MAY
be changing.
DaveK.

I am pretty sure that the moment Andy decides (I would think he is the
most logical person to make the decision), that Touch is released to
shipping, he will make an announcement here, and then quickly head off
to celebrate.

Hmmm, sounds like the the February date given back in December was
another pie-in-the-sky guess. 

Oh well, at least Touch is doing a good job of keeping the rumor mill
up and running.

Andy a lyrical compatriot of yours once said human kind
Cannot bear very much reality. We will I think all cope a lot better
for being given the facts,  re audio bits'n'pieces anyway.

Thanks for giving us the gospel on this. I figured that we had a day or

There are a lot of people looking forward to the Touch. As many have
noted the Squeezeboxes of various ilk have been the best thing since
fried bread. Keep up the good work,and keep the facts coming whenever
you think is appropriate.

P.S. If you haven't got Melody Gardot's CDs My One and Only Thrill

Pat, I wouldn't have disagreed a few months ago.  But since the
product's pushed back, and there are substantive changes that have
relevance for all the players, I was hoping we're not all now
effectively waiting on the T as a chokepoint.  Maybe it's not that big
of a deal to release a later version of software with the hardware.

Hopefully Andy can give us some insight here.

I wonder if anyone else who's completed orders from logitech can give us
some insight on what 'order in process' means, ie does it change to this
a week before shipping. Maybe change the title of this topic to attract
more readers?

forever, BUT NOW order status is listed as  order in process! I think
