Isn’t Thunderbolt intel’s baby?

[Jeremy Garchow] “Isn’t Thunderbolt intel’s baby?”
That’s always been my contention, but somehow Apple’s in the middle of this.
My array was available and set to ship, and then it was suddenly pulled back. Under pressure, they were very open about why I can’t have it yet. In a word… Apple. They keep giving me dates that they get from Apple, but those dates keep getting pushed back. Meanwhile, the arrays are being used at events to show them, under strict control by the company.
There’s a lot we don’t know. What we do know is:
1) that the company would like to start collecting money, since they’re seriously out of pocket on startup investment…
2) I would like to have the damn thing and get some work done so I can collect some money…
3) and Apple won’t let it ship…

Bummer.
I knew Apple had an exclusive on the first TBolt rollout since they helped “bring it to market”.
I didn’t know about TBolt2. Thank you.
I can see how that would be frustrating.

Perhaps – now that they’ve got the post removal bug figured out – we could get a “block” function. Of course, this would mean that upon opening the forum, it would appear to many of us that we were the only ones here.
I’d be OK with that. Generally I agree with myself. And if not, I’d be happy to have a pointless argument with one or more of my multiple personalities. 😀

[Mitch Ives] “they are in the warehouse sitting in boxes (collecting dust)… and not on my desk. Why is that? Because Apple won’t allow these third party suppliers to sell anything with TB2 until Apple says so… since TB2 is their baby.”
Hold on- Apple is already selling TB2 devices. Both the 13 and 15″ rMBP come with TB2 ports.
That doesn’t make any sense.

I wouldn’t put it above Apple and Intel to ask manufacturers to hold on shipping TB2 products until the machines went out the door- but since Apple is already shipping TB2 equipped MBPs, and has been since October, I don’t see why they would.

Seriously? My post wasn’t clear? I’m not talking about Apple equipment, I’m talking about third parties.
And for the record, I agree with you “this doesn’t make sense”… and Apple shouldn’t be doing that…

It would appear that you’re learning… except your spelling still needs work.

I understood you perfectly (I think). Your assertion is that Apple/Intel are forcing 3rd parties to hold shipping TB2 accessories until the new TB2 equipped MP is out the door.
Why would Apple do that when they’re already shipping TB2 equipped Macs? The cat’s out of the proverbial bag.
So the question is why do you think this shipping delay is being enforced by Apple? Is there proof the delay is being motivated by them?
