I sat down in front of my computer a couple of minutes prior to 10.00 am Australian time and watched the timer count down to zero and it did reach zero at 10.00 am my time. What happened?
Well, the timer and associated text/captions disappeared leaving just the red background and the standard Devialet menu bar at the top of the page., but that was all that happened. The timer disappeared and there was no replacement for it, no info, no link. A big fat nothing.
I could claim my prediction that we'd get a nothing was correct but I think something else is going on. I think the timer actually ends at 10.00 am Paris time but the highly proficient and qualified Devialet staff member responsible for their web page and the timer coded the display so the countdown was linked to 10.00 am 9 October local time so it's going to run down to zero at different times today all over the world, but nothing is going to change on the web page until 10.00 am today Paris time. The really big thing to take away from this is that Devialet simply can't coordinate a web page advertising campaign over different time zones.
We're probably not getting a nothing but we are getting incompetence.
Well, having an announcement going public at different times all over the world is really...unreasonable
Timer still live here in Stockholm, which is the same time zone as Paris. So, let's be reasonable and wait for the unreasonable until 10.00, which is 1h and 27 minutes from when I'm typing this.
So, what will it be? Hardly a french TV box for a french tripple play supplier. I'm hoping for smaller and substantially less costly phantoms..
..but soon we will know, unless their web guru has mistaken the date for the timer so they rteally did mean men October 10
Cheers!
