So tell me, did you sign up for the intellisync.com yesterday? If the answer is "NO", then you can have to ask yourself how valid your arguments are that people will pay for any of the services Puma want to charge. If they can't motivate a shareholder to test it..........you can fill in the rest.

As far as 7 million users, don't bet on it. Yahoo had 10 times more users and they still can't find way to get people to pay for much of their services. Every web companies want to monetize users base and no one can figure it out yet. I think the way for Puma to succeed is to focus on wireless and leverage their relationship with Yadayada. If you did sign up with Intellisync, you will figure out quickly why in hell you will need something like that when you are on the web all the times. Plus, you will find how cumbersome it is to set up every little things you want to keep up to date.....Adding "favorites" to my web browers allow me to keep tab of everything I care to follow up. Overall, the services are not bad...but askig people to pay for any of it will be the hurdle that Intellysinc will face. You can come back here and tell me I am wrong in 6 months when Puma announces how many people they have with intellysinc. Until then, do yourself a favor and test out their services....afterall, this is not Cisco where you have to go out and buy a router to use :)
