We have just received stocks of the final pieces in the manufacturing puzzle. To be a Microsoft Certified Media Center Remote Control, you have to special order the specific Green Button with the Windows logo. These are only available from certain vendors. We recently got the green light for the remote control and now we have our green buttons. This means we are Microsoft approved accessory for use with Vista and Window 7 Media Center.
There were also a couple of changes to the industrial design. After the first factory produced models, the drop test showed a slight weakness in the battery holder, so that was strengthened. Also the backlight when used with the factory buttons was more than bright enough so we don’t need quite as many LEDs.
The factory line is now running to produce the first units for the launch.
