Hello,
I have just been looking at the current issue of New Beacon and in the New
Products and Consumer news section there is a piece about the Pure Digital
Sonus-1Xt. Having eulogised about its features, we read the sentence, 'All of
this, and much more, is available now from the latest product launched by RNIB.
My dictionary tells me that one of the meanings of 'launch' is ''To bring (a
new product) on to the market, especially with promotions and publicity'. This
product may be new to the RNIB catalogue, but can they really be said to have
launched it? Was the radio really available from RNIB before anyone else? Can
RNIB take any real credit for this product? It is I am sure agood thing that
RNIB is selling the product, but, unless I am mistaken (and this is very
likely to be the case), Can RNIB in any truly meaningful sense claim to have
launched it?
Iain.
