After which we all got into the many ways that this methodology is problematic. Still, I give him points for trying to establish an actual baseline with real measurable details -- something at variance with his usual passionate verbiage.
Clearly Robertb and Astak want everyone to buy their product -- I think we all understand that. Personally, I'm willing to accept a large dose of perspective bias along with the kind of personal attention and eager-to-please attitude that Astak has been showing so far. Your mileage may vary, of course.
Back to the facts at hand -- yes, it seems from the posts that there has been an attempt to address the delayed page turn. Exactly how much it may have been improved is less clear to me. Sounds like people are saying it's down to 1.1 seconds or so. Once mine is delivered, I'll be happy to try to provide my first-hand impressions if they are still relevant and needed.
But again, personally, I give everyone involved credit for listening to the user-reports and making a good-faith effort to do something constructive about them in a timely way! |
Yes, my memory failed me about holding down the button and timing. But I still have not heard Robertb say what the time should be for page turns? This thread is now five pages, and how many times has Robertb replied? How many times were specific to the problem?
Why isn't Robertb saying something like: "Have you seen the video of how fast the new Sony 600 can scroll around a page? There no reason we shouldn't be able to turn pages in .2 seconds. I'm not going to let the factory off the hook so easy, I'll demand that we get the page turns that fast. After all, by god, we're the company that listens to our customers. If we can't get it done, I'll gladly issue refunds (including shipping costs). And by the way I'm in the process of updating my blog with the current correct times for page turns, but you know what it is like getting those Taiwan factory web guys to do anything quickly."
