Hugo -- I had thought of that before, but hadn't considered it in the light of the recent announcement, that is, that some massive electronics company could toss out a couple million to cook up a competing product and market it way cheaper than the empeg and basically stamp you out overnight.

So with the inevitability factor, I guess for future growth, it possibly had to be (could only have been?) fostered by a larger company.

The other unlikely alternative is that a bunch of VC's hand you a couple million to do the same thing yourselves...

Hope you're right about S3.
