There are things that should be done to get decent feedback. Selecting diverse people, sufficient period of time with product, avoid influence from other people's opinions, etc.
My wife finds the recent products a bit harder to use, and was confused by changes to functionality in existing products (loss of presets, change in names, change in menus, change with MyApps, radio stations that are not in the Internet Radio menu). I can understand the push to get new hardware out and total concentration on software to support that, but when will this cycle ever ease up in order to catch up with bugs and enhancements. There's a buildup of bugs/enhancements that have been pushed back to a future release again, and I can't see that many of those will happen in the next release either. eg. The ambitious schema change that blocks progress on many requested functions. It seems to me that resources will be stretched even further - the need to support SBS, MySB and TinySC, each time there's a change. And now there are also less developers, and its harder for third-parties to get support to implement plugins. _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
