Thanks. I wanted to make one more comment in the old update post rather than put it here, but you locked it before I could. So, part two of my post about updates which also just happens to tie in nicely with your last post in that thread which said:

New post is up for you all.

Sorry it took all of today to provide coherent detail and explanations, but hope you find it helpful. Thank you.

Here is my point. We got good information in your update just now, yet the delays obviously created frustration in many people and I submit it wasn’t necessary. I mean, it isn’t like trying to get a high tech keyboard ready for market where things can go wrong! Here’s why.

The detailed info is great and welcomed, but it is always important not to miss your own stated times for updates. So, looking at this update, this is what I would have done, probably on Friday (because people will feel better if it isn’t at the last moment - let alone late!).

Friday post:

We are still working on a more detailed update, but we need to get something out to you before the week is over so here’s the short version. One of our main concerns is a La La state where the TextBlade becomes unresponsive though still connected. It’s an intermittent problem for a small number of testers, thus hard to get needed data. We now feel we have found the reasons for it and so far it is now working. We’ll elaborate on this on other things, hopefully before July 4th.

Note I would not have specified the time for the next update for sure - just a hopeful goal so if you do miss it, as you did, it’s still okay. And that update above could be done in about a minute!

Which brings us to that “hopeful” elaboration (since we now know it wouldn’t have happened before July 4th). Simple enough. You post late Monday that you haven’t quite finished it but will try for Tuesday or Wednesday - ALWAYS giving yourself a cushion. If it looks like it will be delayed a lot, you simply pick some other item to briefly summarize. Thus no update schedule is ever missed.

As I said months ago, it can simply be a matter each day of asking yourself, “What can we tell folks about today”. I bet most days there could be something, but I’m certainly not asking for them. It’s just that if most days there is something, then over the course of a week, let alone more than two, they would have to be something!

Thus no need to ever actually miss an update deadline!

Which brings us to the end of you update:

We’ll make a separate post end of next week to drill into some of the Bluetooth topics.

Hope you’ll keep in mind my suggestions for that one!
