Obviously, people who aren't involved with the design and manufacturing of electronic devices cannot know just how difficult it is to make a good estimate of the time frame to first shipment and the cost to manufacture. In 2000, I was on Lucent Technologies' team to provide NTT/DoCoMo with third generation wideband CDMA base stations. As a Product Engineer, I was responsible for ensuring models/prototypes were made on time with all of the latest mods, ensuring that designs are properly done and documented and consider testing and manufacturing issues, and move the designs into manufacture. IF it were easy, then ANYONE could do it... THEY CAN'T. If the Repeater is delayed to ensure that I get a a cadillac at sub-compact price, then I say fine. It gives me time to save up or collect interest on my savings! I, for one, will be very patient.
