Can you give us any idea where DI developement stands? I assume due to the recession, it's now lower in priority. Any idea how many more years before it might be available? |
The site sited belongs to the previous importer. Don't expect any updates to specifications (or much else besides the trials side) there.
The estart 250 and 300 are supposed to mimic the base ECs, the specs of which are published on the factory site

As for DI development (or any new feature), you can run down this checklist:
* is it implementation ready (package/function/cost/supply)
* does it represent a true or perceived competitive advantage
* can we make money selling it
* does a/the government require us to have it
* are there better/cheaper/faster/better looking alternatives we can offer
* will we lose customers by not offering it, or gain new ones by selling it
* do we hold the intellectual property rights to it
* can we protect it
* are we too busy working on something else at the present time
* will the product the new feature is planned for have a long enough life to justify the change
* ......
My bet is we'll see DI ... "soon enough"
