>Sony has a similar product as XYBR<

Sony makes the product for Xybernaut.
take a look at this:
The patent position is one of the company's foundation strengths, especially when you
realize that the patent portfolio is being run by Jim Ralabate--the same guy who ran the
patents that turned Haloid into Xerox in the early 1960s. The other strengths are the
management and the partnerships.

Look at the board of directors: Ex-governor of Virginia, Ex-pentagon brass (including the
former head of DoD procurement), the guy who invented the Sony Walkman and who
now heads up XYBR's Japan office (Kaz Toyosato). COO/CFO who left a CitiCorp
directorship to take current position. This is no fly-by-night outfit.

Partnership agreements in place with IBM, Sony, HP, Siemens, Samsung and a host of
Japanese companies who normally wouldn't give a company of XYBR's size the time of
day.

I see that there a lot of close minded people here, and I'll try to stay with my promise and not post here again for a while.

Yo Glenn. Sony is up because the business is being restructured, and because the Japnese market seems to be climbing out of a bottom.

The fact that Sony has a product similar to XYBR's is irrelevant.
