Thanks for the link. I assumed that they were something of the sort, but a quick Google revealed nothing...

(Offtopic: That's a horrible webpage - who uses flash for buttons?!!)

Innovation seems to die all too much... Look at someone like Dell - they sell things cheap, but they don't really create anything innovative. Sure, I'll give points that the Axim seems to be a good (albeit Windows ) device, but it's not innovative... They just got into the market when they could do it cheaply and make a profit.

That seems to be the way all-too-many companies are going. What with the recent HP layoffs, and Dell's traditional lack-of-innovation, who's really left that actually can make something new?
