>>Why can they make the whole thing much cheaper?<<
Valid question. Possibilities: 1. Their product is not like the ones you mentioned and the prices are like comparing apples and oranges, 2. This is a technique used to gain market share, 3. This is a technique used by Osicom to make shareholders think they have a real product and in just a matter of time they'll be profitable, 4. Management isn't very good at setting reasonable prices that make a profit, 5. Other

A major problem with answer #3; the Chadhas still have a substantial % of the shares in this company. But I wanted to throw it out there before the shorts did. I'm not qualified technically nor have I asked the company if the other possibilities apply. But I've read several articles from independent sources about the Net+Arm who praised the product without a mention of the others. This means more to me than posts on a chat line. The great thing about SI is that I learn from the references provided by others and get ideas to review and weigh on my own.

As for Osicom's web site description of their products and plans, I don't see any hype there. Just a reasonable projection of when they expect to have new releases. So you think Osicom should be charging more for their products?
