I guess I only asked for name suggestions... but never said what it
was. Good question.

You asked people to name a product, without telling them what it was?

See
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=260320276884
for some preliminary information.


Are the competitors not well established companies with many years of
experience
in designing and building such products and an established route to
market?

When many products fit in the ear and work out cheaper than your
product,
I just don't see how the SoundZone can hope to get a foot in the market.
So what sets this product aside from existing devices, apart from the
trouble
I will have getting a 9v battery in my ear?
