See I definatly feel that a proto. run of 50 for a PDA would be standard. Our beta runs for another consumer product was well over 200 and that product was definatly not as complex as a PDA.

I think that was our discussion. Why would they be selling a beta run. Yes, buying a prototype would not only be a little odd, but stupidly odd. Nobody wants to buy a prototype....can we say BUGGY. It could be that they want to get us interested, but then why sell them for so much? It looks like maybe they are hoping to not have to take a loss from the cost of making them.

Not sure that I like the look of the thing actually. Maybe I've just got too used to the current CF expansion pack having smooth sides and a flat back but this thing looks uncomfortable to hold.

Are the side panels merely ribbed for our enjoyment? :wink:
