On the Kickstarter, their goal was about $31,000. They got over $1.7 million. That's over 50 times the expected amount of interest.(06-02-2016, 02:39 PM)JCMPine64 Wrote: So let me get this straight... you are suggesting that if one of the OSes is delayed due to difficulties implementing a single function, the team should have delayed shipping the boards? I wonder how well that would go over?
As opposed to the endlessly delayed shipping for no obvious reason that we currently have?
The Raspberry Pi's original debut had the same sort of problem (though on a smaller scale; they had one product to deal with instead of several). It's extremely hard (or at least time intensive) to ramp up production rate of electronics once you already have it set. Especially when you have idiots demanding special treatment, sapping away from their efforts to improve the situation.
