(Admittedly pure > speculation) Yes, modest is relative. Since we were talking about running SBS, I meant modest compared to most of the PCs that people use to run SBS. And given Moore's Law, it's no doubt more modest than what they would design if they were starting today instead of in mid-2008. (I don't know for sure, but that's my guesstimate of when it was on the drawing board, based on knowing that the first units reached beta testers in Dec 2008.)
I don't know about the warehouses being unmarked (makes no sense to me), but the rumors about the hardware being finished are true. That's how one was accidentally sold last summer (northern hemisphere) by an overeager retailer, and why beta testers haven't seen new hardware since before that. That's also why the developers who frequent these forums say the hardware is done and what remains is to resolve the software issues. There's no way I can imagine Logitech recalling however many units they've already produced and either trashing them or swapping out hardware to make them more powerful. I suspect that would only compound the losses they're taking on this. -- aubuti ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73231 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
