Oh, but, grin, just look at the discussion on this list, and
others, for that matter, that is being generated because of this
teaser. And, HW did seem to indicate there would be more teasers
before the unveiling, and that unveiling is scheduled to be less
than a week away now. Then, too, with the tools that are
available now, granted it took someone using a PC, but someone in
the blindness community was indeed able to get us more
information about the description of the picture. So, sure, a
little frustrating for me, but only for a short time, and there
is the fun and speculation of trying to get more information
about the picture.

I agree with you Alex, that's a very fair point and they should
not have
dared to tease us in this way.
I once was present whilst my sister wrapped up her Christmas
present to me
and teased me that I couldn't see it, "Haw, haw!". I took it in
good part,
knowing she was having fun with me because she knew me so well
and we have a
game together; but I don't take too kindly to this kind of
teasing from HW.
If they already know what this is and when it's likely to be
available then
they truly shouldn't keep us in suspense!

I am not saying that they are doing a poor job of
manufacturing or supporting their products. My problem is
with their marketing department, which seems to think
that pictures are the most effective way to get blind
people interested in a product, and cannot even be
bothered to put a detailed description of the image in
the email. I understand that the image did not show much
of anything, but even an explicit statement to that
effect would have been fine. Instead, they said that the
picture reveals details of this sleek and thin device, or
something similar, suggesting to all those who cannot see
the image (in other words, most every user of one of
their blindness products) that the image held something
interesting that would help to describe the mystery
device, if only in a small way.
