I believe that qwerty was being little sarcastic and stopped believing in HOVRS because it was announced back in 2006 which it is a long time. They keep telling everyone it would be out in winter time then they got delayed, then announced it would be out in the fall, but they got delayed again. I think it would turn lot of deaf people who has no patience for waiting from HOVRS and it would cause lot of interest in them anymore because of too much delay.
Example:
"Oh it will be out in summer." Call again in summer......"Oh it got delayed until fall" Called again in fall....."Oh, it will be out by early 2009." *Get frustrated and goes to different VRS*
I understand it been beta testing but those people probably waited long enough and had enough of delaying. Then HOVRS might turn away alot of people because of long overdue. I think that probably why qwerty has lost interest in them.
I understand their feeling but some people really need to be patience and let them do the beta or alpha test the product before being released to the public.
