would you be a buyer at these prices. i am just beginning research . I assume PUMA has a patent, similar to what another favorite stock of mine just got, (INFOSPACE) Is this correct? Or can a competitor offer up a "copycat" PDA "window" and make the business a commodity? Has PUMA protected what it has invented? How durable as well as powerful is the product PUMA has put out?
