BOMBA, I find it difficult to read any of your posts. You seem to start from the premise of the "glass being half empty" and then look for anything to "nit pick" your way into doom and gloom negativity about anything EDig does.
I guess I judge situations in life from my personal experiences and know that if I had your attitude towards this investment (EDig) I would have disassociated myself from it quite a long time ago... In fact I have invested in many different companies throughout my life that I have made or lost money on and have sold. All have faded into the back of my conciousness. I guess I simply do not understand your motivations. (That' my fault)
REgarding the delays on the O1K: It's really quite simple. EDig did not have the money to place a large order. We all have known the MAJOR problem this company has is lack of funds. The company is still here however....Must say something.
EDig ordered small amounts and are hand checking them for another simple reason. In small increments the Customs do not inspect and there are no other charges other than what EDig can afford to order..Digitalway is our partner and manufactures the O1K for us, it is NOT our benefactor.
As FF told me, (another simple explanation), the factory where the unit is built is staffed by $.20 an hour workers. (Not a whole lot of motivation to do a great job) EDig checks all units to ensure they work correctly, with NO BUGS. This is done for 2 reasons: #1. Some of these units will be sent to reveiewers. Mr Falk wants NO PROBLEMS from those who will make or break this unit with their public reports. #2. He wants NO units coming back from irate customers.
Ordering in small increments also allows our engineers to do these simple, common sense, steps that they would not be able to do if the orders were in the thousands.
I asked Mr. Falk what the "turn around time" was if the initial orders were as successful as he deems they will be. His direct answer was "2 to 3 weeks", most likely 2. He has personally checked the electronic supply company where the components are made for the TREO 15 and the O1K and was assured there is an ample stock of these components, ready for shipment. By the way the TREO 15 and the O1K have 80% of the same parts in them.
