hey, please help me out by answering a few questions about the product i made for kiting. Basically it's a pair of handles with a weather device on top to give you useful info, like wind speed, direction and your speed. its main purpose is to alert you when a storm is close and when the wind is too strong for the kite your using. i havn't designed any tech for this, just how the product will look. This is for my AS coursework evaluation and i need some potential user feed back thanx guys http://file023b.bebo.com/5/large/2007/03/14/18/721965182a3844046712b161907420l.jpg 1) look at the image of the device, do you think the size out it will obstruct your movement when kiting? 2) the handles are wrapped in soft grip tape and one of them has 2 small buttons to operate the device. do you think you would find this comfortable to use? if not why? 3) do you like the white red and black colour scheme? if not suggest what colours you would like. 4) as a kite flyer, would you ever consider a product like this. do you think there is a market for this product? if not why? 5) looking at the poster above, do you think it attracts the target audience? 6) do you like the poster? if not why? 7) for the devcie again, do you like the features? suggest some more if you can. 8) any other suggestions improvements to the design. thank you for your time guys , this is a real help! Bigcrenn any questions plz post
