lesnshawn, still no PR about the Hutchison Whampoa 'news'?

After the blurb about Whampoa was posted on the streetstylz blog , Bena put it on her blog , and said the only 'reference' she had to it was http://www.weekendhk.com/

Am I the only non-Chinese-reading person here who doesn't quite see the 'reference' to NeoMedia?

Any ideas on why NeoMedia would NOT press release such a thing if it was significant?

- Are they 'leaking' stuff like this to blogs so they don't have to answer questions about , as Chip Hoffman put it , "puff PRs" later on?

- So they don't have to spend the money getting a PR on the newswires?

- Are they trying to quietly get the word out to manhole-diving shareholders so they can load up at these 'cheap prices' , but holding off on official PRs so there won't be a run on the stock ... for some reason?

Where have the words below shown up in any official statement by Neomedia? Or anywhere other than blogs? Did I miss it?

"NeoMedia Technologies, the global leader in camera-initiated barcode transactions for mobile devices, has teamed up with leading wireless carrier Hutchison Whampoa and New Media Group, to bring mobile codes to Hong Kong.

Hutchison Whampoa, one of the worlds leading telecommunications operators running it's network under the 3 brand, and New Media Group, a leading Hong Kong publisher principally engaged in the publishing and marketing of Chinese language weekly magazines, have deployed NeoMedia's 2D barcodes in New Media's Weekend Weekly and New Monday publications."

Any thoughts?
