Lemon, 6 paragraphs to say NO. A personal record! Congrates. a. Crying foul of you touchie feelings, Bloody so what, the merits of the facts stand for themselves. Stop whining to me about it and telling me you got a boo-boo. If you feel my style takes away from what I am saying....so be it. Talk facts already. 1. You said that the MA4 could be had for 3200. That is not true. You told me this to present an arguement in favor of Xybernaut. Yet you do not retract that arguement. I think you should. The price of the MAs is cost prohibitive for as long as current projections allow. If you want a simple point to address.......How will Xybernaut compel early adopters (not first adopters) and the rest to buy this product? Again this goes to what need or application need to be run on it. For example the Palm started off as a schedule and calender. 2. The Palm 7 provides more functionality and better uses to more people in the United States than does the MA4, it sells for 400-500 dollars. (499 being the most common price). It does what is needed and at a much better price level. Its available today. siliconinvestor.com our friends here even support them. Got to Yahoo search for Palm 7 and you get all the data you need. You can even trade stocks with these. 3. I don't think you are evil, Lemon, I just think you know better. Its a credit to you. I don't think your price mistake was necessary. 4. Scott get over yourselff, you made a big production when I posted prices of Palm Computing, you insisted my prices were discounted (they were street prices) and you insisted that the MA4 was discounted as well. Thats all.....Again I think you knew better. 5. Lemon, I am not saying a PDA is going to match the utility of a generic PC plateform. I am saying that that generic platform is not needed. The only Wireless application needed is a browser. the rest can be be provided via that software. Who needs all the flexiblity, shoot you can use BE operating system for wearables if desired. 6. People will still have desktops, even in a wearable future. 7. Newton was designed as a standalone, not a satelite that is all I ment by "power" 8. Your cousin was at Applee for the biggest mistake in computing history of all time, not licencing and modifing the Mac OS to run on X86. That is the biggest screw-up of all, they could have been MSFT. Your cousin is counter to the common perception, and offers not alternative. Sounds like he is not very in tune to me. What does he offer for the question? 9. Yes cell phones are eating XYBR lunch.......not much use for MA4 if you got what you need on your phone. By the time XYBR is in consmer space with the grand PC design. These small faster, more application specific hardware will render moot the XYBR launch into consumer space. Too little too late. 10. Strong encription to your DSL enable home base PC solution. Privacy, cheap storage, backed up. Devices are becoming more like termaials every day. 11. I do not believe advertising is going to enable mobile PC free ISPs 12. If you call sales of about 5 Million and losts of about 42 MILLION over THREE (3) Years successfully capturing the Industrial Market........well you can have that. Talk about a floundering business model and product. Scott your vision of the future does not stand in the way of XYBR failed business model from destroying the company. They believe and auditors going (or was it growing) concern is nothing. Vaporware
