If the new IBM patent precludes XYBR from gaining profits from IBM sales of wearables via licensing revenue, how does XYBR hope to compete with IBM considering IBMs vastly superior technology.

the below link is of the the IBM device that was built near 2 years ago

ch.ibm.com

How XYBR will profit and continue in any version of the wireless future is in an obvious question. One that with the exception of hype remains unanswered. The auditors growing concerns were real, how many money losing quarters can XYBR withstand before rushing off to dilute current shareholder equity?

On November 4th 1999 XYBR announced it was in "advanced talks with IBM" What that means was never clear. Did it mean talks for XYBRs continued dependance on Via Voice? Does it mean that XYBR will begin to sell IBM hardware? Does it mean liscensing? Clearly with IBM current patent and those of the VIA corporation there is no clear single owner of wearable computer patents. Which is what I believe will be the end outcome. With the only limitation to entry in the wearable computer space being that of the company ablity to build a prodcut that the consumers want.

Given the above, I do not see XYBR being able to compete on the hardware side with IBM and other entrants into the Market. Given that XYBR has no software or communications to standards to profit from, I do not see a turn into profitablity for the XYBR corporation.

XYBR is not the only path to wearables, even though some may want you to believe that, what makes XYBR a profitable company is what is important, and considering XYBRs performance over the last 10 years I do not believe that XYBR has the management team skilled enough to bring it to profitablity.

HYPE is cheap, but Profits are real. XYBR show me the money!
