Andrea gets new pact with Intel Message 6290225 Andrea (AND) is the closest thing to a direct competitor to NCTI that I know of. Going through the AND thread there was note of pacts with IBM as well. Are the two providing >different< technologies to IBM and Intel, or is it likely that the NTCI and AND are competing for inclusion in IBM and INTC's products (voice recognition, microphones, voice over the Internet). In some ways AND seems a stabler play on the headphone + noice cancellation + internet audio than NCTI. AND has operations in defense electrontics. NCTI has operations in consumer electronics (particularly the flat panel speakers and car audio). Can anyone provide a better evaluation of the two companies in terms of competiting product areas, corporate reliability (there was implication that Andrea's shares outstanding was pretty hefty), and future? I'm currently an NCTI shareholder, but I'm trying to get an idea of whether Andrea is useful as a benchmark of sorts to compare NCTI against. Andrea popped to the $13 range (albeit on the Intel news) and NCTI languishes at 50 cents. Comments? Rob Pierce
