Would I be cynical to think that the well priced reasonable David scanner system will soon be a thing of the past?!

There goes the neighborhood.
FWIW the David 5 pricing scheme kind of solidified a feeling that I had had about David becoming more and more corporate (larger) and caring less about the grass roots community here. This shouldn't be so surprising but it still is not good news for us. HP is just another big soulless corporation. Let's hope for the best.

I wish the David team all the best as they have made a fantastic product that they deserve to profit from.
However - 3D scanning is still this uber niche market that companies can charge what ever they want for the service and the hardware. I hope HP see the benefit of democratising the tech with reasonable pricing, cultivating a market of designers like myself that could never afford a high end scanner, rather than jumping into an already saturated market of high end, expensive scanning systems.
David team - if your reading this (which I expect your not as it seems you checked out a while ago from some of the posts. . . .) good luck, but remember us yeah

Not sure if this is good news for us who have bought a David license.
Will this have impact to our existing licenses? What about further updates/upgrades?
I hope David team will let us know about this.

Their silence on the subject indicates contempt for their customers. It seems that they look for a way to say: you have been fucked up while we moved on to develop a dedicated system for HP.
Shame on you DAVID for not updating us of the future of the product

Thanks Sven.
You sound very enthusiastic about the deal and so I will look forward to cool things in the future. As for David 5; As an engineer I'm sure you know that 99% finished means only 99% left to go.
That said, I can't wait to try out the new version!
