What about that announcement? Did I miss something?

Dear Dean,

No, you have not missed the announcement.

I do not know when the announcement will be made. All of the details have not been nailed down, as of this date.

Mike has been listening to various suggestions.

I am very confident that you will be pleased when the announcement is made.

Michael Palermo · November 3rd, 2008, 08:58 AM

Hi Mike, I sent you an email when you shipped my XDR that I wanted to order a Nanoflash as well. Did you get that?

Whats the status with the announcement... any new news here?

Dan Keaton · November 15th, 2008, 05:44 AM

Dear Ray,

Sorry, but I can't spill the beans just yet, however they are great beans! (Grin)

Piotr Wozniacki · November 18th, 2008, 02:03 AM

Being well informed, I can only confirm the wait is worthwhile :)

Ray Bell · November 22nd, 2008, 05:46 PM

I'm pretty sure I know what it is, but like you guys I can't say what it is because,
well then everybody would know... then I'd have to.... oh well :-)

Bill Ward · November 22nd, 2008, 06:29 PM

Let me guess:

The XDR and Nano have been upgraded to modular status...now you have a choice of over 9 billion combinations of casings, chipsets, card slots, input modules, and capacities ranging from 4 8gig CF cards to a 3K-terrabyte, self-propelled Cray tower that connects to your camera-mounted XDR with a 6-gauge 220V oven wire harness. (see optional auxiliary power module for remote field use here: Mini nuclear reactors to power remote areas - Innovation- msnbc.com )

No wait...this is that other camera system...the "O'hara" was it?

What lengths of harness are going to be available? How many extra Tonnes (Tons) over the 20Kg limit shall I tell the airlines the Cray tower will be?

Thanks for the advance notice. I await your reply.

Dan Keaton · November 23rd, 2008, 05:20 AM

Dear Bill,

Great Suggestions!

But wouldn't you like us to go wireless to the Cray Tower?

(Grin)

Bill Ward · November 23rd, 2008, 01:33 PM

I understand that during Beta testing, people who inadvertently wandered into the wireless pathway were atomized.

While a less than optimal event, not all the engineers believed this to be a deal-breaker. ;}

Bluetooth will be just fine.

Dean Harrington · November 27th, 2008, 06:27 AM

About Dec 1st I'll be back with a question on progress with the nano.

Dean Harrington · December 3rd, 2008, 04:04 PM

It's Dec 1st in my neck of the woods and while I follow threads on XDR/Nano and understand the hard work being engaged in by Convergent Design, I'd like a realistic estimate on when Nano/Flash will be released. I've given up on it being released this year although I could be wrong on that score.

OK Dan and Mike ~ what's up with the nano?
