philips..., page-22

Hi Muz,

Some down time prior to an afternoon with the wifey and no kids (silence is golden....)

My statements were;

"Who wants to take my bet on my aunt W having worked at Philips and MixnGo being used in their device?"

To which you replied;

"OK you're on, I'll take your bet.
Mix&Go will not be part of the inital launch of the Philips/bioMérieux partnership for the Mangnotech device which relates to the "crtitcal care" area. Other unannounced partnerships are a different story.

I'll match your "Aunty W" at Philips and raise you "A. Friend" who is a Global Brand manager for P&G."

To which I replied;

"Don't know if it will be part of the initial launch, but it will be used in the device. Happy to put a timeframe of by end of 2012.

How about the loser pays for lunch? I am based in Melbourne and have always been a fan of Donovan's....

Always happy to meet A Friend!

Will also introduce you to W when you show with your wallet ; )"

And you;

"You're on, but you'll have to wait until in over in Oz, I'm in NZ, unless you want to come here. ;-)
I don't think you'll see the Magnotech device in the 2012 calendar year. Maybe Q1 2013."

Now, I don't want to get pedantic, but I believe that I am very much alive in our wager. I was sharing with the forum that my Aunt W had spend her entire career at Philips and that she had done some sluething to suggest that Philips were engaging Anteo around their device. The device has not been launched, but I believe that the timeframe of end of 2012 was achieved as (IMHO) Anteo were very much involved with philips by then. It may have only been referred to by ADO as POC 1, but the timeframe was achieved.

I guess what we need from here is confirmation that POC 1 is indeed philips to determine a winner and if the timeframe was met.

BTW, I like your subtle "earnest" reference in your last post. Classy.

As for Donovan's being upgraded to Heston's, the dinner experience has matured along with the bottle of Shiraz I have for you when we meet.

Stay classy Muz - and remember that when the smoke clears all you are left with is the mirrors.....

NB Maybe the FlyingDutchman can confirm prior to an announcement if you need to book a flight to Melbourne for the opening of the Fat Duck!
