Het status stukje:
Project Status

Since the beginning of the production process started in early 2015 (right after the Kickstarter campaign) we were fighting hard to produce NEEO. There are reasons why only very few companies on this planet manufacture a product of this quality. Quite some backers asked what happened along this journey. You find most bits and pieces in our blog and the process is described in detail in one of our November posts for everyone who is interested: https://neeo.com/blog/2015/11/5/neeo-november-news

So how does the current timeline look like? We are running the next (hopefully last!!!) verification run early February. Until then corrections need to be made. Located on three continents, our contract manufacturer team and the NEEO crew work hard on this. The current release depends on that verification run. That means we will all know more in February. We stopped the December/January verification run as all EU specific boards sported a production problem (PCB layers..). The US versions of the boards were good but the EU ones were all bad. We also did some modification in the production documentation in terms of tolerances and assembly process to clarify some important details. While those corrections are being implemented we also improve the automated test procedure for every unit produced. This test will make sure the failure rate is very close to zero (zero does not exist in electronic manufacturing).

"Things are getting super close!!"

Maar ergens hebben ze bij NEEO een ander gevoel van 'super close'.

En als ze leverbaar zijn, dan wil ik nog zien, dat we - zonder bijbetaling ! - inderdaad krijgen wat we besteld (en betaald) hebben.

En, nog nieuws van Neeo? Als ik naar hun website ga, krijg ik een melding dat de site offline is. ???

Jullie hebben update #27 niet gehad?

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1227115988/neeo-the-thinking-remote/posts/1734381?ref=backer_project_update

Bottom line:
- Ze gaan in Nov\Dec de productie lijn in China opstarten.


Onderaan hun mail staat een samenvatting van vele discussie topics:
Frequently discussed topics summarized

On our blog we have already shared over 60 posts in which we shared tons of detailed background infos, challenges and successes we have explored so far. From some recents questions we received we figured it's hard for all of us to keep the overview over everything shared so far. I will summarise a couple of highlights in short simple words here again so you guys don't need to go back trying to navigate trough the jungle of information.

Funds

    For a startup we are in a good shape financially.
     We have been very successful raising the needed funds before and after kickstarter with angel investors.
    Kickstarter funds barely cover the cost of the units you will receive!
    Anyways Kickstarter is super-important to us.
    We have not used the Kickstarter funds for anything but the manufacturing and part procurement of your units.
    Some guys misinterpreted and understood we have used funds to hang around on the beach or so ;) This is not the case. Small investments like the BBQ in the summer etc. were of course also NOT financed by the kickstarter funds. All that came from our funds.  more here https://neeo.com/blog/2016/8/14/investment-and-timing

Shipping

    Kickstarter backers will be the first to receive the units that we are manufacturing now!!
    The only exception are the tester groups who already have their units.
    Among these testers there are a couple of Kickstarter backers.
    The exact date of shipping will be announced as soon as the units are on their way. (we want to be certain)

Battery

    The battery life is crazy good.
    No other mobile device in the market which offers rich browsing capabilities comes close to that.
    We archive this thank's to our own OS - the very efficient NEEO OS
    Standby can be months (depending on use) With average use you get multiple weeks on one charge.
    Every NEEO remote comes with a docking station.
    The remote keeps a 2-way RF connection even when in stand-by.
    This allows push info to be sent to the remote at any time!! This tech is used for the find-my-remote feature as exapmple.
    more here https://neeo.com/blog/2016/10/18/battery-life

Buttons

    We have engineered a custom solution from scratch and improved it over time.
    You will love the buttons.
     You get a very direct and clear click.
    Some guys misunderstood and thought we have unecessarily perfected it. This is not the case! The changes we made were absolutely necessary so you get all guaranteed working buttons.
    We use an amazing scratch resistent soft coating. very luxury.
    The keys feel just right.

Legal battles

    As we are working with bleeding edge technologies we sometimes get into legal battles.
    We have had a successful outcome in 100% of the cases so far.
    There is no reason to worry, we have a good team.
    It's sucks energy and time though and I would love to spend that time more productive but it's part of the deal.
    We are advised by our attorney not to comment on ongoing cases. Hope you understand.

Support Team

    We will have a support team.
    Someone in the community misunderstood some comment of us and believed we won't have a support team.
    We had little staff until now in order to keep the budget tight before the product is out.
    We are actually ramping up the teams in the US and in Europe as we speak. You are reading it right!
    The fact that the support team is getting ready now is good news!!!

Quality

    We care a lot about true quality.
    The later release has a lot do do with our quality thinking.
    Every decision we took was pro quality, against cheap.
    Thinking now back we can say delaying the shipment was essential to reach a product that is really solid and covers tons of real world edge cases.

Toen ik dit voorspelde was het al een jaar later dan de planning,het zal nu denk ik 2 jaar later dan geplant uit geleverd gaan worden...als we geluk hebben natuurlijk  :ohmy:

Het is duidelijk een diepte investering.

Als ik me niet vergis toen iets van 250 USD, huidige pre-order 340 USD.
Beter rendement dan op de bank. (mits het daadwerkelijk af komt natuurlijk).

Ik heb toen 337 USD betaald ...
Enkele maanden later, in mei 2015 zou dan de uitlevering beginnen. Dat was gewoonweg onmogelijk en dat moesten ze bij NEEO ook weten. Dus pure bedotterij. 
Op 15 januari 1016 schrijft W Otter ogv. de door NEEO verstrekte informatie (in deze thread):

de blog is ook weer geüpdatet  :pompom: het schijnt dat ze zéér binnenkort in productie genomen gaat worden :pompom:
Tja, zo worden we aan het lijntje gehouden (ik heb ook update 27 gehad). En dat kunnen ze bij NEEO heel goed: product is eigenlijk zo goed als af, maar er zijn enkele kleine redenen waarom het toch nog niet uitgeleverd kan worden. :devil:

QuoteTimeline:

End of this month:

At the end of the month the remaining guys in China will come back to Switzerland and finalise some FST integration tasks while in China the entire country is pretty much on hold due to Chinese new year.

Next steps:

Just after that - in early February - we will return to China and finalize the last remaining tasks that need to be done on-site.   

Right after that the entire production line should be ready for production. We will make a couple of hundred units, quickly verify that everything is good and then make a couple of thousand units.

As soon as those units are in the plane to your continent we will announce shipping. It is damn close..

:eh: Maar zouden ze die echt overvliegen ipv. over te schepen? :sly:

Persoonlijk begin ik te twijfelen of toch maar een Harmony Elite of een Savant aan te schaffen ipv. de NEEO.
