Dreamliner delay on the cards

Boeing's delay of its 787 launch should hardly be a surprise. Having put back the maiden flight to November-December, meeting the May delivery date for the first Dreamliner was always going to be a challenge.

I was told two weeks ago that it would take a team of test pilots flying round the clock to log sufficent time in the air for the aircraft to be certified within a record time of five months. A further delay in production was always going to scupper that.

But why the insistence until the last minute that everything would be on time when it must have been clear inside the company that it would not?

And it's good to see an over-used management technique compromised - that of blind insistence on a deadline that is unmeetable - rather than anything else.

Good web site! I really love how it is easy on my eyes and the data are well written. I am wondering how I could be notified when a new post has been made. I've subscribed to your RSS which must do the trick! Have a great day!

The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod's. It works well, but isn't as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that's not an issue, but if you're planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod's larger screen and better browser may be important.

Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass' favor.
