How about a strategic alliance with Hewlett-Packard to boost ODIS' brand recognition? Gustave, my company did a trade show jointly with Object Design this week. We were together on one stand, and Hewlett-Packard was there in alliance with Oracle on the adjacent stand. Call this a wild guess, but I don't think Hewlett Packard and ODIS and ORCL will be together on the same stand anytime soon.

Gustave... >>How about a strategic alliance with Hewlett-Packard to boost ODIS' brand recognition<< I may be missing something but I do not see the connection. In the mobile hand held area, I do not expect HP to do much "application building." They will build and distribute "hand helds" thru distributors. The "hand helds" will have applications built with Windows CE as the op sys or JAVA. (There may be other op sys. as well of course.) The fact that ODIS has a partnership with MSFT for W-CE and SUN for JAVA, the license revenue will flow from the application builders using W-CE and JAVA and not from HP who will build and distribute HW. Do I have this correct? Bob T.
