Very interesting ... good to hear them talking about what & how they're doing ... good to hear how they're thinking ...

wonder if iPhone or iPod Touch will figure in their future ?

interesting to hear Idratek mentioned ... shame they seem to see as having too-much overlap, 'cos it might provide a very useful vehicle for its (Idratek's) extension !

wonder if the rumoured Mac-tablet will provide what they're dreaming of ... ?
