Xybernaut Corporation Signs Agreement with Hewlett-Packard for Launch Of Xybernaut's New Wearable Computer

FAIRFAX, Va., - Xybernaut Corporation (Nasdaq: XYBR), a pioneer and leader in the wearable computer market, today announced it has entered into an agreement with Hewlett-Packard Company to jointly market and distribute the Mobile AssistantR IV product line in Europe. The companies intend to achieve rapid market coverage with this new line of high-powered speech-activated wearable computers through HP's European, Middle East, and African sales channels as well as through promoting business solutions provided by their sets of Business Partners.

The combined strength of both companies and their partners is expected to ensure availability of product, service, and support across Europe and to allow customers to benefit rapidly from industry specific solutions built to access and collect computerized information hands-free, wherever and whenever needed. Early applications of wearable systems include inventory and sorting, as well as equipment installation, inspection, trouble shooting, maintenance and repair.

See post number 131917 below, it has link to annoncement that HP and Xybr have signed an agreement for Europe. I believe this is new with supporting evidence that XYBR is up 1 1/2 in Europe whose markets usually follow our move.
I have looked at every posted link for months and this seems to be important and fresh. Regardless of date it validates XYBR's patent position for the wearable.

HP is also working on wearables. XYBR has 470 patents worldwide on wearables. HP is the European distributor for XYBR. XYBR belongs to a group in Germany called the software center which is an incubator for 50 small to midsize companies working on software for the Linux operating system among other things. HP, IBM & DaimlerChrysler are the companies that fund the R&D for this organization

Fine fine fine but what is the problem here????

1. Well first is the PR on HP has no date.
2. The HP PR is on a strange site in general, not a normal place to see info.
3. The PR is not on file, in any current news source.
4. Xybernaut knows of no HP PR in the last week at all, when contacted. Plus Xybernaut's Vice President of Marketing, David Schweppe...left XYBR well over a month ago. HMMMMMMMMM
5. PRNewswire kindly assists and runs a check and at first can not find anything.....then with a call back later discovers that.....that........THAT....wait for it, wait for it.....that the PR is from is Valid but from September 8th.........September 8th 1998. Gaajungaa!

prnewswire.com

So we have a website with a the date removed on a PR being hyped on Yahoo for investors when the stock is at near all time highs, that PR is over 1.5 years old

What else does that poster that started this say on Yahoo???
Does he have more insight????

Well he is spamming this message on over 20 boards
