This is somewhat unrelated but I am curious to find out your position
regardless...Sharp has recently (a few days ago) announced that it plans
to pull the Zaurus line from the USA market. See
http://www.infosyncworld.com/news/n/5438.html for more details. The
announcement says nothing of the European market. I'm just wondering what
the future of mySTEP is in light of this most recent development.. It's a
shame Sharp has decided to yank these devices from the market, but hey, if
they don't sell, they don't sell... :( I've never used mySTEP but it looks
pretty cool from the shots I've seen of it.
Anyways, I was merely interseted in what your long-term plans are.
