Hi Michael,
Hi Joseph,
Going back to your previous email first:
Fortunately we have a watchful community to catch our mistakes as
quickly as possible! Please continue to let me know if we make such
mistakes in the future.
Please understand that I wasn't trying to suggest any mistakes had
been made,
No worries. I didn't think you had, but I did use the opportunity that
you brought it up to explain our policy.
I was just after a little clarification. Really I was
hoping that you'd give us some secret extra details ;-)
Nice try!
Your goal of keeping the project running on non
region/religion/cultural time lines is a laudable one, but I'm so
eagerly looking forward to the FreeRunner release that I wanted to
know more!
We appreciate your enthusiasm.
My employer is looking to eventually purchase a couple of hundred
FreeRunners, and we're all itching to buy a smaller batch for test
purposes. We're not so interested in all the features, and aren't
worried if we're not going to be buying a consumer ready phone
platform; we want to build a tool, and the FreeRunner looks like the
best base for it.
Sounds like a perfect match. We look forward to seeing what you build.
Having said that, I need to write a paper for an upcoming conference
during which I'll be making just that point.
All the best,
Joseph
Best wishes,
Michael

Hi Joseph,
If we knew the date with 100% certainty I would certainly share it with you.
As we have seen there is no standard meaning to the word "quarter" either.
I'll go back to months. That's still somewhat Western-centric but
perhaps sufficiently accepted that it should not cause trouble.

Talk of quarters might be more helpful (and standard within the
business world), but a date would be even better!

It's an excellent description because they don't want to be specific!
Push it more and I could see them just saying "It'll be out in 2008".

FreeRunner is due for release at the end of Spring, but which Spring
is this? East Asia? US? Europe?
I have to say, spring is a bad description of when FreeRunner will be
released, though from my knowledge East Asia, the US and Europe all have spring
at the same time +- 24 hours. I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be spring in the
southern hemisphere since that's still ten and a half months away.
Amen. Using seasons for describing milestones (a common US behaviour)
or even worse using holidays (e.g. we'll release that by Thanksgiving),
is always the *wrong* thing to do.
