Re: RadioPopper Issues...
iculpin,
Thanks for sharing this stuff with us. It's good to know. What a shame, these guys just seem to constantly keep shooting themselves in the foot. The product, on paper looks awesome, but with all the delays and screw-ups like this you've gotta wonder about the viability of a company like this. This is just one more mark in the "Con" column that keeps people like me from rushing to invest.
Please keep us updated on how things are resolved. This will really speak volumes about their seriousness as a market contender.
Re: RadioPopper Issues...
So shockingly :O I got a PHONE CALL today (missed it though :P) apologizing profusely for the lack of battery cover and that they'd express me one immediately... which on the one hand seems kinda dumb for something that's probably worth a cent and smaller than my pinky :P but the fact that they're doing it is awesome (and a relief, I didn't really feel like wrapping my new equipment with gaffer tape :P). Still haven't heard about the upgraded firmware (apparently that's a "different department") but I'm told they'll be getting back to me shortly...
Maybe there is hope yet :P
Re: RadioPopper Issues...
After waiting another week for a response on the firmware, I contacted them again yesterday. This is the response I received:
"Leigh,
The firmware upgrade should be available in about 2-3 weeks.
We are not exactly sure what the process is because everything is
still being finalized. When it is available we will post it to our
website and our blog. We appreciate your continued patience."
Err... is it just me, or does everything on the radiopopper site indicate that the JrX and PX system should mesh out of the box? Nevermind that it's going to be another month before they've even figure out HOW they're going to make it happen? *sigh*
