An old Austrian proverb states that one shall not seek information with the secretary, but rather go straight to the chief. At Aceeca’s, this yields extraordinary results – Alex Topschij just left us a comment with some further, interesting details:
Tam,
… I will be your most reliable source of up to date information. As a small company we certainly have had some real issues getting these new devices out to the market and I accept we have lost some credibility with our previous target release dates. The PDA32-Garnet is VERY close to shipping (yes we missed June), we have shipped a number to beta testers and have made some enhancements as a result of their feedback. One of the main issues was the sensitivity of the touch panel. It is all looking pretty good now and I can arrange for you to get an eval unit next week – just check with Cecile and she will arrange it. I will provide more info on the MEZ1500 (both Garnet and CE) in due course.
Cheers
Alex.
If I see the situation correctly from here, the folks could be in some kind of “perfection madness cycle” – while this tends to sound good, I have personally seen such a situation have terrible effects on companies multiple times in the past. IMHO, good enough is good enough.
But it’s always good to hear something new from Aceeca…

“Good enough” may be good enough for you, but I’m willing to wait an extra mont or two to get a very good device from Aceeca. Too many consumer goods are just “good enough”, and many times, when it’s a software issue (a underseen part because it doesn’t bring new buzzwords on the box), I wish very badly I could finish the job. I think of my GPS, my PVR (TV recorder on hard disk), my phone answering machine, etc. To a point, I consume less, knowing the goods will just be “good enough”. But I’ll take extraordinaire any day
Hi Luc,
thank you so much for talking back!
I think the issue is something different: as a small house, you can easily run out of cash and credibility in the process.
All the best

Tam Hanna – the current year is 2010, not 2001. This device belongs in 2001.
Best wishes.

I want an eval unit. If our software works on it, we might offer it to our customers who need a new source of PDAs, but refuse to buy ruggedized units like Janam offers.
Hi Folks,
I can’t add much here – more in just a few days!
All the best

Hi Cecile,
not sure whether posting your email here publicly is a good idea.
But I will cc Ben!
