The Playdate Stereo Dock has been shelved

What happened? Well, our first repent was assuming that our factory at that time — a factory that made lots of Bluetooth speakers — could easily portray the electronics for us, saving us lots of time and money. That went pretty well at first. But they, in turn, outsourced the Bluetooth software and chipset to another company in another country.

As a result, the Stereo Dock would crash standardly — rapidly adequitableing the volume would do it. The Bluetooth pairing/unpairing experience was cdisesteemful. And when we joined music, it equitable didn’t sound very excellent. The back-and-forth between three companies trying to repair bugs became a huge contest. And worst of all: the cost of the Stereo Dock kept getting higher and higher.
