    Mac software development costs

    I was thinking of a few dollars as $10 to $20 as I posted over in the Escort forum. I apologize for the misleading title. Since Escort constantly upgrades their products I did not think of additional costs for testing nor possible additional manufacturing costs. What title would you have chosen?

    Mac software development costs

    I could not find any stats on the number of units they sell yearly. Definitely not a huge company but from poking around some business info sites the supposed estimate seems to be they sell 20 to 30 million dollars worth of products per year, not sure if that included their Beltronics division...

    Mac software development costs

    Over at http://www.escortradarforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2696 a gentleman claims it would add $200 to the price of Escort radar detectors to add Mac support. I cannot see it, maybe a few dollars as Escort is not a huge company but $200 seems ridiculous to me. Any comments from...

    Newegg

    Currently I only buy from newegg if they are cheaper than zipzoomfly, mwave and buy.com. I miss the old newegg but I don't think that they would go back to the way they used to be even if they were able to. For me it is time to move on and support smaller businesses who better, IMHO...

    Newegg

    CDW was started by a guy in his garage as far as the story goes. CDW got too big and left an opening for someone to come along and fill the opening. Right now it appears that zipzoomfly and mwave are a couple of etailers that might be attempting to fill the gap newegg is opening up...

    LOL, should newegg advertise grey market goods as coming with the manufacturer's warranty? Not Pioneer's fault, just trying to warn people that items they buy from newegg may very well be grey market. From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grey_market “A grey market or gray market is the...

    Refused delivery on it. This is not about newegg's 30 day return. It concerns grey market products on newegg listed as coming with manufacturer's warranty.

    Item I refused delivery on when UPS showed up: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16882117330 "Manufacturer Warranty Beyond any applicable Newegg return policy, this item is warranted independently by the product's Manufacturer. Below is a summary provided for...

    I hate you, Newegg.

    Newegg customer service says: "I told you that they WILL honor the applicable manufacturer warranty as long as you register the product." Pioneer says: "We reiterate that newegg.com is neither an authorized dealer or authorized "reseller" (distributor dealer) for Pioneer Electronics products...

    Not sure about DVD burners, the newegg/pioneer warranty issue does apparently affect both home and car audio products. Personally I would not be concerned over a $25 to $50 product such as a DVD burner. When I buy more expensive products I personally want the manufacturer's warranty. I am...

    Why doesn’t newegg simply offer a 90 day return period on the grey market Pioneer products they sell? From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grey_market “A grey market or gray market is the trade of a commodity through distribution channels which, while legal, are unofficial, unauthorized, or...

    Whats up with Newegg showing AFTER rebate prices?

    Buy.com apparently is still not a car audio video authorized Pioneer dealer. Buy.com appears to be a home audio video dealer. Apparently 2 complete different things according to Pioneer At this point I am frustrated by both newegg and Pioneer. I am still planning to refuse delivery and buy...
