with the video game being the place to be right now I agree that the new tie in with TV is a MUST for them to get out of the handheld downturn...and the Girltech acquisition is not paying off in the right way with the web tie in for me... There are SO many knockoff and spinoff handhelds in the marketplace right now, that it's gonna be tough for them to rebound right away... And of course I think the other outside investment scheme is a disaster, so there goes a few million down the drain. chris
