The Street.Com has an item about Tuesday's news re: departure of Abrams. Outright says COMS can't hold onto execs hungering after options unless it gets the stock price up.

Here's a refresher on the news itself.

<<I wonder still if Zi and Palm VII are probable/possible.>>

Richard: I contacted Zi's IR Dept a while ago and asked about that. Response was along the lines of "we're working on it but focused right now on current deal" (Ericy, etal.) With the news out yesterday and today about the China deals, it looks like their efforts paid off big time.

Agree that a deal w/Palm is a natural.

Regards.
