I hear ya, loud and clear.I work in advertising and while financially I am doing well I to recognize that things with prices are just out of control. Also just like the 2008 financial crisis I to feel some impending disaster looming...and I'm not talking about banks and car companies going kaput...though I do recognize that thousands of people suffered for a long time because of that debacle and I do not mean to minimize their pain and suffering...but I am talking about something much much worse.
With that reasoning I'm definitely getting this tricorder. Life is way to short. Of course the price has to be right and I'm most definitely not splurging on two or more. But I want one and feel, should the Wand Company manufacture said product, that it will be damn worth buying.
4 years later... still no Tricorder.OMG! Thanks for sharing the article i will be watching!
I agree. If people are upset about it than move on. Myself I don't mind waiting !The Wand Co.’s response to some snarky comments on their Tricorder blog. This response could also apply to the naysayers here.

Chris,
Whatever happened to the Mechanical fit and finish article?

…..and yet, the questions goes unanswered, again. Other products appear on their website (with veracity) and we are left even without an update on the Tricorder. If it comes to pass, that the promise is false, then there will only be one person to blame. I understand there is complexity, but what I don’t understand is why we are left wanting for so long for a simple update on the project. Passion has its demands and as a consumer and a fan, we have waited a LONG time for this product to come to market. I’ve tried to balance challenge with time, but the least TWC could do is throw us a bone every now and then. Even penning this post proves it takes but a few minuets to update the community. Yet, we are left wondering why it is a 2-3 month of silence to get ANYTHING from TWC on the Tricorder production process.
When you think about it, the Tricorder first appearing in a desert surrounded by sand is about as applicable as one might imagine based on its history and certainly current events. Chris, prove me wrong, or don’t. I’ll wait another 3 months.

Mike L… what gives? When there is news as I have said a few times, we will let everyone know. Just to reconfirm, yes, we are still working on the project and the Tricorder is still just about to start manufacturing. However, I have also said on a few occasions, I find it pointless giving updates to say that I am still waiting for the software to get finished while it is still being finished. At each stage when the software can be checked more thoroughly we find more niggles to resolve. As I, and no one else on the project, knows what those wrinkles might be until we find them, and we can’t find them until we have more and more finished software to check through, giving updates to say that “at present there are no new firm estimates of the full manufacturing” every couple of months seems pointless, when it still stands that as soon as I have an update I will post an update. So please continue to be patient, or not patient as the case may be, but any hassle posted here, or the use of CAPITAL LETTERS, or apportioning of blame on whomever… will not remotely make us work any harder on it than we already are. Finally, given the time and effort we have had to lavish on the tricorder, if it wasn’t for those other products we seem to be releasing with veracity, there would definitely be no Wand Company left and thus definitely no tricorder.

Mike, those articles take a long time to research and write and I have been very busy with a number of other projects that needed my full attention so have been unable to write that article. However, as soon as I have a finished tricorder in my hands I will take some photos and post an update.

Sleepless nights, irritability issues, diarrhea, headaches, constipation, etc, etc, etc !The Veruca Salt attitude of the modern consumer is very off-putting and, frankly, childish.
I am not sure what trauma or stress consumers have suffered by not having production updates hit their inboxes on a regular basis by The Wand Company. No money has yet been exchanged, as far as I am aware.

If TWC did this and there were bugs in the released software, the boards would all change from "It's vaporware" to "I can't believe they released it before it was ready. This is crap!"If that is the case, and not a dream feature I hallucinated, start manufacturing and selling the physical unit. Get some cash flow going to finance the software development and testing. Then you would even have a host of software alpha and beta testers in the field with software version 0.0, to help you work out the bugs.
