Dear Chiron:

We KNOW we want to sell a 9 inch eBook Reader. I think the A9 is outstanding and we are planning on it.

BUT... my Product Manager tells me: "Bob, you'll have it WHEN we have it". This is because we almost lost selling the Pocket PRO because I opened my big mouth months before it came out. The factory almost GRILLED the Astak CEO over hot coals over that. The factory wants NOT a blessed word about it until we are stocked and ready to sell.

Trust me... I LOVE giving out info. I particularly want a 9 inch to sell! But I cannot say anything yet as they have told us to "shut up"!

Yes, at least twice a week, I would like to tie the Product Manager to a pole and beat more info out of him! But there is a lot more to bringing out a new product than just receiving it. We have to BUY the units 100% up front and yet we cannot overstock either. So, I know the pressure he has.
