Dear All:
There are two 9 inch threads on here and I have posted a lot already on the other.
The screen will be SIPix and there was a last minute glitch found right before they went to full production. This means ALL SIPix screens will be a little delayed (not just ours).
WHY are people wanting to go to SIPix? Well, the screens appear to be bright and clear and yet they cost a bit less. As you know, PRICE is SO critical! People turn down buying a device over $9 sometimes. Definitely, a 9 inch needs to come in complete at well under $300 (IN MY OPINION). I do not know all that much... but I cannot see many people yelling "OH, my God, CHARGE ME MORE, PLEASE". There appears to be a huge difference between $299 or $309.In any case... it is largely a lower cost that is driving the SIPix craze.
WHEN we have a 9 inch or a few different 9 inch... just like all Astak product... we aim to sell them in retail stores and online in North America; but fill individual orders from all over the globe. We also pray to God that we can get into Australian Retail Stores. The way I have tried to point this company is to be CUSTOMER-ORIENTED! Now, my arch nemesis, our evil Product Manager (a man of dumb vision and anal-retentive, but a good friend of mine) may argue... but I want us to always keep people ordering Astak eBook Readers from all over the world.
