Bear with me here. Let's look at a couple of statements here,
On 24th Dec Rohan Shravan, CEO of Notion Ink, said this:
"Having said that, TR team is going to play far major role we are seeing here. I want to take the whole group past just making ROMs, and change the way tablet works. They have been very forthcoming and lot of their ideas are going into next generation products already!"
I infer the following:
- TR is going to play a major role.
- Their input will go into the next generation products (and also has gone, already)
If you see the latest blog posts, it's more than clear that TR is a major contributor to keeping the original Adam alive, and getting to ICS. So in that sense, considering that the platforms software is coming from TR and that the CEO himself said that TR ideas are going into next generation products / and that he wants to take the whole group past making ROMs, one would think he would pay a bit more attention to TR?
Pause for a while. TR is not 1 person or a 3 persons. It's a community. It's an open community. Therefore, anyone benefiting from it, and saying explicitly that they want to take this community forward, and that the community is playing a major role in the upcoming products, should engage this community a bit more, no?
And yet, this is what he said post CES "All meetings were private and confidential, and purely meant for business (in fact only business development team was at CES)"
Wait. There was someone from TR trying to talk to CES, and they couldn't at all. Why is everything on the next gen confidential, if an open community is providing ideas and software for them? So essentially
