Things are humming along in the CherryPal universe. Not the first startup to overshoot a stated shipping date. Better to get it right than simply get it out the door. This is fine by me, since I've been away on vacation for a few weeks. (More about travels on my Drive-by Birding blog.) Here's the latest news:
CherryPal pre-orders are on hold as of August 6, 2008. We were having problems with the PayPal page, and as it says on the website "Unfortunately, our first delivery of C100s has been delayed. We are working diligently to ensure that there are no bugs in the system and appreciate your patience while we fine-tune your CherryPal."
As a CherryPal Brand Angel -- a real job posted on CraigsList for which I applied -- I get one of the first units to use and report upon my experiences. Currently my main writing activity is blogging, so "Blogging with CherryPal" was a logical extension.
If someone decides to purchase a CherryPal after reading your CherryPal user experience, they can use your promo code to buy a CherryPal off the website and receive a discount... etc. and you will be compensated as well.
This is part of CherryPal's philosophy, which is green, open, and fair. (The fair part includes compensating people for what they do.) This position is aligned with my own convictions. I'd be talking about CherryPal no matter what, because it's green, and different in so many ways from what we've been seeing for the past quarter century. But that's another story. And a swell photo of the Babbage Difference Engine when I can find it on my hard drive.
