The Sendo Z100 has been delayed again, with a spokesperson for Sendo citing integration issues as the cause. The Z100 was originally slated to ship last autumn [Feb 01 prediction], then delayed to first quarter of this year [Nov 01 prediction] - which we said here might be a touch optimistic - was subsequently delayed to June [March 02 prediction]. The latest prediction sees it coming in during "September/October", a spokesperson told us today, although industry sources have been briefed that it's most definitely now a Q4 product.
"Everything about the form-factor is new - it's testing, testing, testing," explained a Sendo spokesperson.
An email sent to Sendo developers last week said SDKs had been delayed for "legal reasons". But sources speak of much finger-pointing between Microsoft, which provides the Smartphone 2002 OS (aka Stinker) for the phone, and hardware manufacturer Sendo, which also provides software applications and the JavaVM.
