thedragon888 (ID#: 101703) An email from ICRON 1/25/00 1:07:58 PM 798536
<< Prev Msg Thread Next Msg Thread >>

I send a message to ICRON last night regarding a product I saw on the Gefen website

gefen.com

This product has the capabilities of the USB ranger so I was a little concerned if it is a competing product.

here is the email reply I received this morning.

Thank you for your enquiry and interest in Icron and ExtremeUSB. Gefen
Systems is indeed a member of the ExtremeUSB Team that Icron is building.
They have been very proactive in wanting to service the pent up demand in
their markets for extended USB capabilities. They actually represent Icron's
first purchase order for the initial products emerging from the development
of ExtremeUSB. The product you see promoted on their website is the
beginning of the evolution of the traditional KVM market to USB and does
include Icron's technology as its core functionality which enables this
transition to occur.

We expect good things from our relationship with Gefen as they take a jump
on their competitors through their investment in Icron technology.

In my opinion OEM's such as Gefen, ADStech signing on to be ICRON's partners are positive endorsement both for the potetial market and the technology.

ADStech has always been one of the most innovative companies out there, they were the first to produce video to PC cards that allows you to watch tv on your monitor, now every major video card manufacturer like ATI and 3dfx has one.

I have personally used some of the firewire products from ADS tech, they are very popular.

As with all new ideas, the most innovative jump on board first, then the big guys will follow. I am sure it won't be long until the logitechs or microsofts will want to sign on as well.

so don't let the short sightedness of some people deter you away from a great idea. Afterall, how many people were skeptical of microsoft or intel when there wasn't even a market for pcs?
