I think them not offering an automation option is a disservice (disgrace) to the people who bought the 1608's..... I would be pissed if I were in their shoes(the 1608 owners)... |
I'm sure it was cheaper and easier for SSL though.They already had their automation (recall) system set up well before the AWS was designed, not to mention the fact that they could forecast a certain number of sales (much greater than API) before and after the release of their consoles to help offset the cost of any R&D over the period they set themselves.
Sure, I think the 1608 would be a far more attractive proposition with automation, but I can see why it would be tough for them. At the same time they're dfinitely in the wrong for advertising their product by lying about an optional upgrade that no doubt would have been in the back of customers' minds when they decided to make the purchase.
