Don't hold your breath! :crazy:

McCain will be next to come up with something to compete with Cobalt and X2. :Wink2:

Siemens equipment is definitely cool, but its getting pretty dated now with how fast things are changing. The EPAC M50 is quickly closing in on being 15 years old and SE-PAC is over 20 years old with tons of upgrades and fixes.

One of the Euro Signal makers has had a "touch screen" controller for a bit I dont know which one, maybe Swarco?

Isn't Siemens looking to unload Eagle Signal, though that's what I heard- that might take attention away from R&D

I think that was a rumor. Siemens just changed the US branding from Siemens ITS to Siemens Mobility USA

Got a message from my buddy at Intelight. He is aware of Cobalt but was quick to say that the design is not original other than the larger screen and different software. He mentioned that I was still on his list for a used/extra X2 but all the current equipment is spoken for by agencies for the next few months

In any case I think both controllers are awesome! Glad to see some real advancement in the industry focusing on touch screen and tablet technologies! :thumbsup:

I think some people require the buttons, or really want them, so for now we're keeping them just in case. There is also a "classic" mode on the controller that does away with the new GUI and just uses the old menu-based structure that the ASC/3 currently has. In that case, I think you have to have some of the buttons, but I could be wrong.

Hey, Dan...?

BUTTONS are good, but...

where are the THUMBWHEELS on that thing???

I was hoping for that version also and a pushpin version

I hope it has Chess because those city workers get bored standing at a open cabinet pretending to work

Since they're both Android based it should be easy to download apps to Cobalt! Angry Birds competiton among several different intersections! :crazy:

Cobalt is not Android based, and I would like to see a thumbwheel version too!

Whoops! Thats my bad I thought it was, I just did a check. :Phil:

They both run on a Linux OS with web browser based remote interface. You guys can keep the thumbwheels! I'll take the touch screen :thumbsup:
