A fair bit of excitement was generated when the announcement (Wed Jun 11, 2008) of the August 2007 launch was made by TDVision CEO Manuel R. Gutierrez Novelo.
There is no arguing that they have a strong product, the TDVisor is one of the better designs of HMD that I have come across.
But as the months have passed by, all has all gone eerily quiet from TDVision. Since the (personally delivered) message by TDVision CEO & founder, there has been precious little real information made available.
If I had to make a guess, I would say that the worsening economic climate has made TDVision think twice about investing in the Launch. If this is the case, I can certainly understand that. In a time when banks are going bust I wouldn't blame any company for playing it safe.
However, being sucessful depends on more that having a good product, or even on a good economic climate. Ultimately the customers are the ones who will buy the product or not. Letting potential customers know what is going on, can only be good thing. Even if it will take another 6 - 12 Months before the TDVisor was to be ready for prime time, it would likely be many of the same people who would be considering it as a possible purchase.
With that in mind, it would be appropriate to let us know what to expect. The folks around this community are much more patient and supportive than those I have seen in most other communities, and I have to say I respect and admire that.
That being said, the months have slipped by and it would certainly be an appropriate mark of respect to the community to update us on what is going on, even if it is bad news...
