What released products use CC3000?

Hello,

  Looking through the forums I see quite a few unresolved issues with the CC3000, and I'm nervous about releasing our product with it. Does anyone know of an end-user product out there in the real world, selling in any kind of volume, that uses the CC3000?

Thanks,

Derek

    Spark core: https://www.spark.io/

    It was originally a reasonably successful Kickstarter campaign.

    I have seen some of their employee's post here as well so they have also run into some issues with the CC3000.

    Hello,

       I've seen lots of development tools like the Spark core use the CC3000 but we're looking for end-user products, e.g. products that are sold to consumers. 

    Thanks,
    Derek

    The CC3000 has a serious hanging issue and until it's resolved by TI you are not going to see any commercial products using it, outside the hobbyist Arduino shield community.

    What causes the hanging issue Ivor?  I haven't got that far, and there's still time to pull the plug on the development with this board.

    As far as pulling the plug goes I would wait until the next patch is released, which is coming in a couple of weeks as of today according to TI. From what I can gather and thanks to a lot of members who have provided me with information on this, the issue is in the CC3000 firmware and a top priority for TI. There are several post that discuss this, both here and on Spark's forum. Here are the links:
