[sdiy] Idea to design to prototype to Product question.

[Alert me]

Hi Johannes,

Well, You have a point. But i didnt have that intention in mind. I was 
asking for guidance and tips on how to go on with the project rather than 
some one practically  helping me out with the project.

To rephrase my question.  Can someone , who has been involved with product 
development
from idea to actualisation / product realisation , give some serious 
pointers and tips.


regards
Alertme
