Mang, >>On the high-end, coms is very quietly shipping the CB9000. Hopefully the new COO Claflin will be able to formulate a very convincing high-end strategy on which they seem to be keeping a very low profile.<< A good question is, what is Claflin going to be doing at COMS? I know he'll be promoting all the products in general, but I would think that the high end stuff is Eric B's domain. Claflin is going to try to put a Palm Pilot in every person's hand no matter where they live on this planet. Same with basic networking equipment. I figure his main job is marketing manager, connections with the PC industry, making innovative products popular, and keeping operations/manufacturing in line...cutting costs. Seems like he still has too much to do. I think they need another operations guy just watching the manufacturing part of COMS. Anybody with any insights here?
