Put me down as surprised, too.

The price of the stock reflects the earning's potential of Talk-n-Play. This stock explodes because it get's on CNBC to talk about a new internet product and people think it's an internet play.

But really what's the potential to talk-n-play? Most kids don't have a lot of band width. If you slow down your connection with bi-directional voice communication, how badly will that bog down the game play?

If the product does work, what stops fifteen other company's from doing knock-offs? It's a straight forward program to write and could be based on existing internet telephone protocols. If a shareware version comes out, are people really going to want to pay for it? Gamers can be increadibly cheap.
