they do? how far in advance? a week? a month? a year? Some companies (including Slim until recently) do not announce products until they are ready to ship. Apple routinely does this (though they have leaks and rumors, for sure). > > To use your movie analogy, imagine a West End preview being constantly > put back because the movie isn't yet fit for release, and the press and > public being repeatedly told that it will be ready when it's ready. > I can see why you chose your username - you seem to make a point of > misunderstanding the legitimate complaint and getting upset with people > who hold make such complaint - snarlydwarf indeed Considering I am actually credited in a couple of movies, yes, movies are routinely delayed. They have months and sometimes -years- of delays. We have one here that has been in post production for months. Despite all the planning and location scheduling and shots... the detail work is very difficult to schedule. Can you say, "ok, this scene needs better audio, it will be perfect in an hour... or two... or three..." Setting such numbers is not possible with any sort of reliability. This is why trailers often do not have anything more than "Coming Summer 2010"... because as much as they may want to release it for Memorial Day weekend, they realize that may not be doable for production reasons as well as for marketing reasons. (Movies are often delayed because "we want a good weekend and don't want to compete with certain other movies for opening weekend..") There has not been a specific release date of the Touch ever announced. There was an expected delivery date in December 2009... but, then, lots of movies (since you like the movie example) have expected release dates that are not met. Then they have the Official Release Date that they -are- expected to live up to. If Logitech had announced "this will ship on December 3rd!" you would have a point... but they didn't. See http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1054606/ if you believe movies are released on time. Shit Happens. Heath Ledger dies. Things get delayed. Such is life. Gotta love the obligatory ad hominem. "And your name is stupid, too!" Wooo that hurts so much, you have such a sharp wit, I am wounded to the core. -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71178 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
