>>>>Look at IBM PC's vs Apple's technologies when both were new in the 80's, and look at who has won in the long run.

Definitely NOT IBM!!!

You should be comparing Apple & Microsoft not IBM. Apple was 1st to market with a GUI OS, but as we all know it didn't win, MSFT came a lot later and even after 10 years doesn't have a product as good as the Mac, but MSFT WON!!!

IBM did make the 1st PC, but was the victim of idiots in its layers who never understood the potential of the PC.

So, being 1st isn't always the real issue. However, this time the window of opportunity isn't as great, therefore time to market will be very important.

By the way, AT&T has apparently a deal for Paradyne and should be annoucing it before the end of the month. Any guesses?? Anyone???
