| Online Pegasos Sales are back!!! : Comment 61 of 157 | ANN.lu |
| Posted by Amon_Re on 13-Jul-2004 15:31 GMT | In reply to Comment 38 (Neko):
"Freescale are ordering boards in the long term. You're going to have so much
egg on your face in the coming months, I can guarantee it."
Well good for you guys, i'd say, i hope you're right, in this industry things tend to change rapidly, hopefully you'll be able to hang in there
"There is a Pegasos in nearly every Freescale office on the planet. Freescale
are giving them away to their customers to encourage them to develop for G4
and AltiVec. They are training their employees with our help, and we are
involved in pilot schemes in order to prove out the worth of the Pegasos and
ODW under many real-life environments."
This is marketing hype, sorry, and it's irrelevant, let your results speak for you, not the marketing devision
"Just watch and learn.. this is how you get a product into a large market.
Duping a bewildered customer-base with holiday prize draws and the promise of a
$2 t-shirt this is not!"
Well, it's not like you guys didn't mess up neighter, this isn't going to help your case, stop comparing yourselves to Ainc
"There is a list of people who were promised a Pegasos board for demoscene
activity, and as soon as it's possible to fulfil that, they will get them!
That's the stark honest truth, there is no deadline or "maybe next week"
because I cannot be sure. We just started to sell Pegasos boards to Amiga
resellers again, because now we are starting to have the capacity (money-wise)
to build boards over and above the Freescale orders - the resellers really
wanted it, so we gave it to them."
Erm, no, you selled it to them :P
"Note that Freescale aren't able to produce boards at 1/5th of the cost; not
without the 4 years of development you usually put into these things. They could start now and they'd be finished about the time we finish the Pegasos 6!"
Highly unlikely, given the size of their R&D department they could probably have a board design up in less then a month, the question isn't about their capacity, it's about cost/benefits, aslong is it's less costly for them to buy the boards, they will buy them
"They designed the Sandpoint and the PCI Mezzanine, and that product is going
out of the window now because it's old and boring (no modern peripherals..). It
also costs $4500 for half of what what we offer in a Pegasos for, what, $1400
configured?"
Those designs are unfamiliar to me, got any links?
"Cost reduction is a future goal; mass production is a future goal. We can get
people to make them in batches of 300,000 if we can afford to stump up the
cash for the parts and production cost in advance, at which point a Pegasos
becomes truly throw-away in terms of price :)"
True, the same goes for freescale, the bigger the production, the cheaper |
