From my understanding the missed deadlines were not completly IBZT fault. The management was iffy from what I could determine but doesn't matter how good management is if you have a bad product/idea it won't sell well if at all. Missed deadlines happen the losses were due to investing in a bad product/idea.

A good example is the SPOT watch from Microsoft. It's a flawed idea and has been a poor seller. They have outages regulary content is not always updated and more was promised of the tech than has been seen so far. It's a good comparision to the IBZT keyboard because on the surface they both sound like good ideas but once you did they are flawed.

Why is it exceptable for Radioshack to miss deadlines and not IBZT? Why would I give a company like Radioshack the benefit of the doubt when they have proved they are not fit to run a company any more than IBZT? What type of profit would I see today if I bought radio shack 3 or 5 years ago? Break-Even or Loss would be my guess.

Does MSFT lying about the longhorn release date and features not effect the value of my holding in the company? Does there way of doing business not effect my stock prices. yes it does.

Does SLE not being able to run it's company make a differnce because it's a big name. Nope. Dumped every bit of it and moved it into HCN.

Company Size or exchange does not excuse them from running a business poorly. Big Names and higher stock prices do not make a company better run or give any more wiggle room in my book.

What it does give them is more product in the pipeline and an easier chance to recover. If Radioshack was investign heavily in the keyboard they would have failed also and you would see it reflected in the stock price.
