The distinction is unannounced vs. announced. You don't usually go dark on announced products. They messed this one up. If they had to pre-announce, it seems to me they should have mitigated the holiday season. They did not, so that's more than one mistake in my mind. Lots of companies pre-announce in order to stall other company's sales. It's not clear that Logitech did that here - I bet they only stalled their own sales. Just seems like a couple boneheaded moves in a row to me. I also wouldn't speculate that they won't do it again - I'm not convinced of that based on their actions here...not that any of this matters. I'm just glad I am not one of the customers feeling burned by thinking it would be available by the holidays. -- thomsens ------------------------------------------------------------------------ thomsens's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1352 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72159 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
