That is MY point I make. Occasionally you have to show that the wheels are turning still.

You DO need to say: "Astak has its first prototype in and we are starting the testing". This tells that we ARE folowing up and it is not "vaporware".

Astak is a good company with great ownership and I like their attention to detail and honesty. BUT... sometimes they seriously devalue getting the word out and the need to get the word out. There are tons of other choices out there and people will go to those choices if they do not hear you have what they need coming out.
Oh, I know exactly why you do it and I really appreciate it! Make no mistake about that. But you should also expect people to want to know exactly what it does, how much it costs, when it will be out, who it is married to, how many children it has, when it was born, etc... We don't want to know much, only everything

And I wish more companies would let the public know what they were working on. Even if only saying that they're working on it... With a nice little teaser screenshot, maybe, or a nice little bit of specs, maybe...

But, don't let our need for more information stop you from posting these teasers, please!
