    EQ; to hardware or not to hardware...

    …that is the question.

    Dash has the answer.

    Hardware.

    Dash is shipping with a Hardware EQ. I can’t giveaway too much. Who doesn’t like a little anticipation ;) I am keeping the number of bands l in my pocket for now. 

    We, I can say We now - which is very cool, are continually striving to make Dash the product you are  excited to own, to use, to share, to tout and to boast about.

    Stay tuned…

        Very cool, Paul!

        I know you're playing this one close to the vest, but I have to ask: graphic or parametric? I suspect graphic, as parametric would add a TON of complexity at this late stage, but a boy can dream, right?

    Hello Sohjsolwin, Yes. All faceplates are built or will be built so that you will be able to have a case on your phone as you describe.

    T-Shirts, Photos, Apps

    Hello Everyone,

    It has been a few weeks since my last update. I want everyone to know Dash is progressing well. We have completed design and are moving forward with firmware and app development. We have three designs we have developed for the Dashboard app. This week I will be sending out another update and email to ask for your input and vote on which design direction we should proceed forward with for the Dashboard app. This will also affect our other apps because we want a universal design theme. 

    T-Shirts will be arriving in our offices the end of this week and we begin shipping them out to you. The our international team is meeting in Denver at the beginning of June, following the meeting I will send out the post cards of the Team to that reward level. 

    Following a graphical decision on our Dashboard app, we will move it into Alpha testing. If you are interested in signing a NDA and playing around with the App for a while let me know by emailing alpha@devium.com . We would love your input. 

    The website has been updated, if you havent been over there in a while, check it out. www.devium.com

    Its almost June and we are going to have some big updates (packaging design, physical faceplates and body, and more) and news next month! If you have any questions let me know.

    Thank you for your support!

    Paul

    Hello Brett, We are moving to Devium.com and looks like some of the forwarding has not propagated or it has been setup improperly. IT is working it. I appreciate the heads up! Email me paul.lizer@devium.com

    If you purchased a T-Shirt along with Dash I was going to ship them at the same time but if you would like it before then I will be happy to ship it this week.

    Hello Brett, That was my mistake I should have included a field for the color, I apologize. I did include a field for any information you needed to send my way. Are you able to update the survey? If you are unable to update the survery, please email support@devium.us and include your name, address, and faceplate color. Thank you

    Internals and New Features

    Hello Everyone,

    It has been a very busy couple weeks since the campaign completed. We are finalizing board design and moving into prototype production. Dash’s new internals includes all of the awesome features introduced because of your desires and feedback:

    • HD AM/FM Radio
    • Bluetooth
    • Video out
    • Front, Rear, and Sub 4V PreAmp Outputs
    • External Microphone
    • Auxiliary In
    • Audio Routing (More on this in coming weeks)!

    We are also in the process of selecting our contract and packaging manufacturer here in the US. In parallel we are developing our distribution and logistics network so that we can get Dash to you and our national retailers quickly ;). It’s incredible the amount of work that goes beyond product development to deliver that product to customers. I am learning daily. To help cover the amount of work required our team is growing. We have brought on two new members over the last few weeks. There is a lot of work to go but the team has a guttural fighter-type excitement driving us. We are beginning development of the applications to control Dash, the Dashboard and the Radio controls. Our apps are moving along. Here are a few snapshots of those apps. I can't go into detail on the Radio app but its has that "Ahh hell yeah!" vibe.

           

    We also have a new logo! 

      

    I am going to work hard to keep everyone informed on where we are and how we are doing. Your trust and respect is paramount to our success. The road ahead is rough, hard, and new but it’s also exciting, incredible, and fresh. We are onto something extraordinary here and I am not going to slow down or relax until Dash is in your hands. Let me know if you have any questions. 

     

    Thank you,

    Paul Lizer

        I love seeing the Audible app in slot 1! That is the one that I will use the most!
        Thanks for the update.
