Comments from Clearstation....... From : PJYoung Jan 16 2000 10:15PM Replying To : keetz4 (post 308) Title : XYBR Well, XYBR has offices in Japan and Germany as well as headquarters in Fairfax Virginia. I don't know if that qualifies them as being global or not but I know they are focused on overseas markets as well as here. I have a very informative page on XYBR @ hometown.aol.com TELT is not a leader in wearables. They are paying XYBR licensing fees as per a news release last year that you can get on my site. XYBR sees the wearable as the future because they see information devices converging. You can use the MA IV as a cell phone right now, just like the IBM ad indicates. XYBR's strongest point is their air-tight patents designed by Jim Ralabate, the same man who did Xerox's way back when. I would say XYBR's weakest point is their CEO saying they would do 40 million in '99 when it looks like they'll do around 5. They have since gotten their first substantial order (2.8 million to Dyncorp) and things are certainly looking UP fundamentally. They will introduce a consumer model around fall Comdex time for about 3k with less wires and more processing power. Good luck to all! Phil Also from IBM annals..."I can see salespeople of the future, or stock traders, or any over-active hyper business-person types wearing these units and never taking them off. Wake up, take a shower, put on your PC. Watch the food you're eating for lunch with one eye, and watch the monitor with the other, making stock transactions with the hand that isn't shoveling a sandwich into your mouth." XYBR's Mobile Assistant IV is designed primarily for factory workers who routinely perform inspection, repair, diagnostic, and maintenance jobs and require easy, on-the-spot access to databases. Other target users include health-care workers, emergency service personnel, and workers who perform inventory or computer-aided instruction.
