Bad news…and some good news…

Media Pear — Wed, 28 Nov 2012 05:17:31 +0000

Well, bad news. We finally got final confirmation back from Apple stating that they will not approve any products that use the 30-pin female connector with bluetooth. We had hoped, since they have transitioned to the new lightening connector, that they would relinquish this, but they did not. Sorry for this bad news, but, that [...]

Pe@r status update 11/14/12

Media Pear — Fri, 16 Nov 2012 01:05:45 +0000

So, we have a couple of MFi approved suppliers in the mix and quoting our new Pe@r product now. There is still some challenge with getting the female 30-pin adapter integrated into our product, approved by Apple, which we should have resolved within the next 2-3 weeks. Once that approval (I know, MORE APPROVALS!) is [...]

3-day Weekend

Media Pear — Sun, 27 May 2012 11:47:31 +0000

Seeing that this is a 3-day weekend, I’m not doing much of anything work related. I have to travel next week, so I’m doing some good ol’ family time this weekend.

The Kickstarter Preview Link

Media Pear — Sat, 26 May 2012 11:43:09 +0000

In Kickstarter they have a really cool feature that I would advise anybody starting a project to do as soon as they feel they have a viable project. It’s called the preview link. The best part about doing this as early as possible is that, as you go through your development process, before you launch [...]

Prototype, Prototype, Prototype…

Media Pear — Fri, 25 May 2012 11:30:22 +0000

I cannot stress enough the importance of a prototype. I’ve been doing product development for many years and it never fails that you will catch oversights in the design. There is simply no replacement for a physical part to examine and find areas for improvement. Not only is this important in my normal work routine, [...]

Achooo…. today I’m sick… :)

Okay this is going to be a short blog to say there’s no blog today. I’m sick, and the one thing I realized is that working full-time and putting in extra, ooooooh….30 hours a week into starting the other can wear you out. It was a lot easier when I was in college, and I [...]
