ES2008c: 1800 - 2000 s
MEE031 (C): I think yeah , I think a scroll wheel would be nice , but it's not necessary . Um
FEE030 (B): Right . So we could either go with a simple or a regular chip , depending and maybe we could table that decision for later .
FEE029 (A): Um .
FEE030 (B): I don't know .
FEE029 (A): I think w well I think when we go on to the une userface , we're gonna have to decide the interface we're gonna have to decide um whether we're gonna have a scroll or not .
FEE030 (B): Okay .
FEE030 (B): Well , let's think about that while we talk about the case .
FEE029 (A): Okay , let's do case .
FEE030 (B): Uh I'm kinda liking the idea of latex , if if spongy is the in thing .
MEE031 (C): Yeah .
FEE029 (A): I'm a little um I'm a little hesitant about it , because I'm worried about protecting the stuff on the inside .
FEE030 (B): Okay .
FEE029 (A): Um
FEE032 (D): Oh could it be hard , and then something around it ?
FEE030 (B): Uh yeah , everything I've
FEE029 (A): Yeah , I would be more okay with like a titanium actual thing and then maybe like a mobile phone kind of thing .
FEE030 (B): N oh wha what I've what I've seen , just not related to this , but of latex cases before , is that there's uh like a hard plastic inside , and it's just covered with the latex . Not too thick a layer of latex , just enough to be grippable , like bike handles or or anything that you've seen like that . The inside is hard . I don't think we need to worry about protecting the circuit board , I think that that's done for us .
FEE029 (A): Mm-hmm .
FEE029 (A): Okay .
FEE029 (A): Mm-hmm .
FEE029 (A): Okay .
FEE029 (A): Ge o
FEE029 (A): Okay . So we uh we do want latex .
MEE031 (C): 'Kay . Yeah .
MEE031 (C): Yeah .
FEE030 (B): Yeah .
FEE029 (A): Okay .
FEE029 (A): Latex . Um and probably in colours , maybe fruity , vegetable colours .
FEE030 (B): Yeah .
FEE029 (A): Fruity colours . Okay um let's go to the ufe user interface then we'll come back to the chip I suppose .
FEE030 (B): Oh and we want a curved case , yeah ? Or a double-curved ?
FEE029 (A): Well , we don't really know what the difference is , right ?
FEE032 (D): I'm thinking curved of some sort .
FEE029 (A): Yeah .
FEE030 (B): Yeah , okay . We don't really know what the difference
MEE031 (C): Yeah .
FEE029 (A): Um okay , interface , the type and the supplements .
FEE029 (A): So push or scroll , right ? Or both ?
MEE031 (C): Um
MEE031 (C): Yep . Um
MEE031 (C): And I think if we wanna keep our costs down , we should just go for pushbuttons , 'cause then we can have a a simple chip and it's simpler , it's it's cheaper to make pushbuttons than it is a scroll button . So in terms of uh in terms of uh economics it's probably better to have pushbuttons .
FEE030 (B): Good point .
FEE029 (A): Mm-hmm .
FEE029 (A): And if we had a sc an on-screen um kind of thing that you could scroll through , like you can use your buttons to scroll through things . I think that yeah . For channel surfing I think a scroll an actual like an iPod's kind of scroll thing would be too fast , I dunno .
MEE031 (C): Yeah , yeah , it's uh it's it's fairly simple .
FEE030 (B): Yeah . I say pushbuttons at least unless we get any information but I have no idea how much more expensive a scroll wheel is than than a pushbutton , but it's gotta be some more expensive , so I think it might be better to put our money into the stuff like the kinetic battery and the cool case
MEE031 (C): Yeah .
FEE029 (A): Mm-hmm . Is that okay with you ? How you feeling ?
MEE031 (C): Yeah . Interesting .
FEE030 (B): because
FEE032 (D): Yeah . And let's like see if we get anything else . I mean I'm not like hard-sold on the scroll wheel , it's more just to give it a different kind of look , but if it's gonna be in a latex type thing and that's gonna look cool , then that's probably gonna have a bigger impact than the scroll wheel .
FEE029 (A): Mm-hmm .
FEE029 (A): It might be cool enough .
FEE030 (B): Yeah .
FEE029 (A): Okay , so we're gonna go with um type pushbuttons , and then supplements , how are we gonna do that ?
MEE031 (C): Yep .
