As I mentioned in an earlier post, Concept Kitchen no longer makes
WriteRights! Fellowes has purchased their entire PDA line accessories
line, according to a Fellowes press release:
http://www.fellowes.com/about_us/press_room/press072500.cfm
Fellowes Acquires Assets of Concept Kitchen's PDA Accessories Division
July 19, 2000/Itasca, IL =8B Fellowes, a global leader in consumer
electronics accessories, announced that it acquired the assets of Concept
Kitchen's PDA accessories division on June 30, 2000. Concept Kitchen
develops accessory products for handheld computers. Fellowes will
manufacture the handheld accessories, currently branded Fellowes-Concept
Kitchen, and market the line through its worldwide retail, commercial and
e-commerce channels. This acquisition solidifies Fellowes' position as
the market leader in accessories for PDAs and other mobile computing
devices.
As you can see, you may be barking up the wrong tree!
As for clearer screen protectors, we at NuShield are working on a
solution that will satisfy both the Palm and Newton products. The
screens are very different and the Palms need special film treatments to
prevent Newton rings. We are getting closer to an answer (yes, I know
that I have said that before) but I will not make an announcement until
ALL my ducks are in a row and I can confidently make claims and back them
up. As such, we have our current models that work on both platforms.
Since film manufacturers require that we purchase thousands of dollars
worth at a time, you can readily see that we cannot afford to have
separte film stock for each product line. Stay tuned, I hope to have
something more to say about this in the near future.
