*laughs* no actually between having a car trashed ($8Kish worth of damage to geta $350 stereo), a friend dying and a roomie to make room for this last week has been very very average. I’ve done what I’ve needed to do but not really much of the ‘back-end business’ stuff which includes a stack of iWaver related things.
I _will_ post info once I’ve dug out stuff that’s of use.
But a brief rundown:
iWaver 02 will be the International Launch vehicle.
iWaver 01 will become a lot like MZ1.5
The digital LCD Controller will be available on all othe range as an option (standard on more expensive cars)
Each product in the range (01, 02, 03, 04) has a set USD Rec Retail Price, and while they can be imported into Australia below RRP by us the GSt and Duty doesn’t leave much margin. But don’t expect TE to sell them as cheap as they have been either. (just over 50% of RRP)
02 will be around in limited numbers for Christmas, I’ve missed the first preorder window, but the Minimum buy in was 240 units. That will remain until after Christmas. They are only capable of producing 200 ’02 class machiens per day.
The parts range will be increased, and yes ausmicro.com will be buying in some of the parts if the pricing is good enough.
PCB/Servo combos will be available – great for heart transplant projects!
Quality will be improved…
Basically iWaver have got a plan to be in business for a few years at least and the range will come out over that time. They are staggering their rollout so they have new product coming on stream as previous products settle in ‘regular’ running.
More as I read it 😉
