[RE-wrenches] SMA and Blue-in-the-tooth

[Sky Sims]

As far as I'm concerned the sunny beam gets filed with the powerline
communicator. A good idea that would be an awesome product but SMA once
again hurts their reputation and the reputation of some of their
installers with release dates that are off by several years and may be
nothing more than vaporware when it's all said and done.

They make some good products, and their customer support is about as
good as I've seen, I just don't understand why they have to soil
themselves with unrealistic release dates that are nothing but wishful
fantasy.

Anthony at SMA told me last week that they had run into some design
modifications for the famous 2nd generation Sunny Beam (Bluetooth
version)
and the word is that it will not be out until December.  They have been
flooded with calls on the Sunny Beam and seem to be at the mercy of HQ's
R&D
in Germany.
