I have this same problem.
The boom has pulled out of the unit. I can push it back in, but the next time I pull it out to use it, it comes right out again.

What was the point of the launch list? I've been on the list over a year and once you finally launched I got nothing from you. What happened to the \"something special\" promised by Peter to those of us who've been waiting all this time?

Well there you have it, yet another release date. Let's see if they can hit this one. I'm not going to hold my breath, but i will check back on August 1st to see if they're shipping.

Peter,
At this time you have a credibility problem. This problem is not because your products do or do not work as advertised. It is because you told the public you were going to do something, and you haven’t done it.

Your company brought a cool sounding new product to CES (the largest consumer electronics show in the nation) and said you would have it available for purchase “soon”.
You have since published several release dates and missed them all.

Your potential customers are frustrated and angry, and you haven’t even delivered the product yet. This puts you in the position of having to “re-sell” your company, your capabilities and your product.

This situation is unfortunate and frustrating, and entirely avoidable. Tell your potential customers the truth, and keep your commitments.

Keith.

how about bringing the products you've already announced to market before asking your customers to do your research for you.

On July 1 (the last published release date), Peter quoted me July 8th release, due to a firmware update.
well the 8th has come and gone and still no ZIvio.
I honestly doubt this thing exists at all.

doctordetroit,
i held out this long because the original Jawbone didn't fit me well. it's time to try the Jawbone 2.
i think you're right Joby just isn't ready to play in this sandbox and should stick to what they know.

don't count on it...

keith replied on July 01, 2008 19:27 to the question "July 1 and still no ZIVIO!" in Joby:

The California hands free cell phone law goes into effect today!
I now have no choice, but to go elsewhere for a headset.

I'm really angry you posted the July 1 date and have missed it! If I'd known you weren't serious about shipping July 1st, i would have ordered a Jawbone 2 and I'd have it already.

keith asked a question in Joby on July 01, 2008 17:19:

July 1 and still no ZIVIO!

it's july 1st.
where is the Zivio!?

keith replied on June 27, 2008 17:41 to the discussion "Zivio,,,,where oh where are you at?" in Joby:

well...
California handsfree driving law goes into effect in 5 days.
Will this be ready? If I can't get 1 on or before July 1st, I'll be forced to order elsewhere. (maybe Jawbone 2).
