Price Point

>>> quoting Robert, (out of order somewhat)

>In any case, it evidently isn't worth Textware even setting up to sell this Windows Fitaly for $25... yet.
The question that I think Bobby and I are wondering is why don't they think it's worth it yet? Do they think with more features people will pay more for it? If so, I think that's an unreasonable expectation. Do they think there aren't enough tablet users out there yet? Maybe not...

>A way around that perhaps is to put even more functions into Fitaly - application launcher, performance monitor?
I don't want need an application launcher/perf mon from textware... I don't need more features... I want the feature set that they've got now. Yes, I would love to be able to right click instead of slide, cause I would type faster and more accurately, but I can live without it... Extra features aren't going to sell a significant number of additional units...

Rhetorically, how much money do they expect to make out of the product anyway? Taking what they can get now and sticking it in the stock market will make a lot more than waiting indefinately.

>Whereas Microsoft SQL Server, which we install in colossal rack units, costs like a car...

But MySQL, which people also put in racks is FREE... as is the workaround Alex Pruss came up with for FITALY on the TX.

>That also means, I think, that to sell programmable slides fully, you really need a slide editor, and /that's/ a whole separate project without proven payoff. Well... I'm proud of my own work in a spreadsheet for this, but it doesn't look professional... yet.

Text editor works fine for me in editing slides. I don't want to program in a dictionary into my slide file... If I wanted a dictionary, I'd buy InstantText.
