I have nothing to do do with them. THANK YOU $50,000,000 would be 10,000 units at $5k a pop. I guess feasible if purchased at full price for several fleets in organizations like UPS, DHL, airline crews, etc. where mass-sales can occur. The wearable market for 99 is about 4 billion. Are you thinking consumer products here? That would take huge price reductions. BTW, their management group does look highly qualified to gain access to government sales. I guess XYBR plans on you and I funding their future. <GGG>

Donny, You behave as though you don't want to tell us the whole story. If you have fresh info, real info, your sharing it would be appreciated. If you only wish to share a rumor with us, please state that it is a rumor. As I see it, capital-lettered carrot-dangling is insulting. Where did you come up with this number? >>>The wearable market for 99 >>>is about 4 billion (dollars). Are you combining wearables with pocket computers? And calculators? Maybe even internet-compatible cellphones? Based on the fact that Xybernaut is presently the largest (perhaps the only commercially available) wearables maker, my own most optimistic estimate for the entire wearables market this year is $150 million. It will more likely fall closer to $40-60 million, and possibly as low as my worst-case estimate of $20 million. We need knowledge of market acceptance of the MA-IV before individuals like myself (who lack insider info) can make a tighter guestimate. Will the MA-IV take hold with industry or will this year's iteration come up just shy of catching on? Only news will tell. But, my rough guess suggests sales need to exceed $50 million for Xybernaut to break even this year. While Xybernaut does have a highly qualified team, it ain't a cakewalk. Yet. Shoe.
