I just have a copy of the emulator set up on my testing station,
so when customers come in, I can show the unit off to them. I was just
commenting that it would be nice to also have skins for the m100,
if you're going to make it more marketable. A customer will be much more
impressed if they can see what colors it comes in, rather than just
take my word for it. Oh well...I don't actually sell these m100's,
specifically, but it helps with the Visor. (actually, I was just
defending Adam's idea...hardware emulation is the most important thing,
but skins are nice too...)
So if one of the main design goals was to make it a marketing tool,
wouldn't it be keeping with this goal if you were to make it more
marketable?
