JUNE 19th!? That's almost as stunning to hear as the announcement of NXT
itself. When they originally said August, I added on the normal
consumer-electronics company "oops factor" and arrived at the conclusion that
we'd be lucky to see any NXT's by Christmas. Now the Lego site is saying June
19th!
That doesn't give the lucky 100 much time to get any bugs reported and fixed. I
guess there'd better not be any hardware bugs. To have volume production and
units shipped by June 19th, there's not much that can be done after February.
Fixes to the software are easier since they can be a patch on the webpage. I
guess the 100 developers aren't intended so much as bug finders as they are
intended to build a culture and buzz around the new product before it even
starts shipping.
