Prospector11 - 'So if IBM is quite happy to have the world know what it has planned for the future why is it that the potential parters we are said to be working with are so insistant on every aspect of our dealings be cloaked by NDAs? I have the impression that High Tech Co's love the attention they get from their audience knowing that they are looking ahead and not stagnating. It's good for business and keeps their names in the forefront....and boy could we ever benefit from a wee bit of "leakage".'

Maybe so PP11, though the point may well be that until it rests in someone's exclusive domain, PTK may wish to 'fan' itself through a representation of the entire industry, setting up for the big play - perhaps through 'junior verticals' first - before allowing the big dogs a serious sniff at the bone. In other words, you may well have a point, but we're just not quite there yet . . . update at 11 . . .

. . . though alternatively, a first course of a PDA shoutout with the likes of a GF and a TCAD playa would work just as well, likely better for the immediate and longer view . . .

Just sayin' - good weekend all.
