Moxa: I didn't hear them say anything about some entity requiring them to stop selling the Odyssey 1000. In fact, they released the PR about offering 40 GB and 15 GB versions after they announced that an "Asian OEM" had licensed the platform.
Since they have admitted multiple times in the past that sales of the Ody were disappointing, it appears they wisely decided to give up their massively failed attempt at retailing their own branded products. The retail model created 5 quarters with negative gross profit. Getting rid of a financial drain was a good move IMO.
