Jul 18, 2011 5:26pm Jess Hampshire (158) 865 posts	You mean the device isn’t available, or the required tweaks to RISC OS won’t be done?

Jul 18, 2011 5:57pm Chris Hall (132) 3554 posts	The former. There isn’t even a discussion forum created yet to discuss production delays.

Jul 19, 2011 5:09am Trevor Johnson (329) 1645 posts	There’s the possibility that AI’s designs will be licensed for use in other products: "I’m really sorry that you have to wait. To explain the reason, we recently got a lot of traction by licensing our designs."… but I think that Chris’s sceptical opinion is wise. [Edit: cf. Always Inovating Mini Book. Also note that the irclog is very quiet!]
