Clarification: product is not being delayed by new features

Although we've just released a video explaining the complex process we're using to manufacture the good boy feature, we probably should have stressed that product launch is not being held up by extra features. Our target release date at this time is 3 to 4 months in the future, but could be as little as 2 months. This estimate reflects the current state of things and is not a guarantee.



Just in the last month or so, a revolution broke out in Thailand delaying company formation, one component manufacturer came out saying their lead time for parts is 3 months (and we're trying to work something out), and the mold manufacturer went on a Europe business tour...

However, we're increasingly optimistic because everything has started to move quickly.

We're proceeding with incorporation, waterproofing is almost complete and we have made arrangements for credit with a testing lab to do FCC/EU certification. Jason's back on Friday and will start making our rubber keypads and probably the plastic mold. We'll visit the pcb assembly factory sometimes this week. We've created a great reliable network of people and look forward to very exciting times ahead.

For those who've just "tuned in": in order to create this product we've quit our jobs, invested all savings, moved to China under extreme conditions of pollution and lack of infrastructure which cannot be withstood for much longer, and the commitment is final.

Our motivation to hasten release is sky-high and we're working on this over 14 hours a day every day including weekends.

We will continue to keep you informed about progress, apologize for the long wait and thank everyone for their patience so far.

Pretty incredible story. I don't know how many of you are involved in the company and have quit your jobs etc for this project, but I hope it pays off in the end for you.



This really is an innovative product that should nicely fill a gap in the Femdom / D&S community.



My hat is off to you guys (and gals? :-) ) for the committment that you've put into this.



There are a lot of us out here anxiously awaiting the release of your product. There's real irony in waiting for a product that us used in conjunction with a product that keeps us waiting. LOL!



Keep up the good work.



I can't speak for everyone, but I have really enjoyed waking up and checking for new posts. Please continue to keep us updated. It's been REALLY interesting!

Me and my Wife can't wait.
