I thought we could have a discussion topic on this. What an awesome Press Release!

http://www.visorcentral.com/page/0-2-855-2.htm

Does anybody know anything about Matchbook? Is it just one guy building all the adapters himself? Very ambitious... but he may turn out better products than a larger company like VaporGear. It looks like Innopocket may have taken marketing lessons from them.

I love this line:
I feel a little like David going against Goliath,� said Hudson, who started MatchBook Products in December 2000 with a $15 investment. �I take comfort in knowing how that story turned out.�

If it's a quality product (let us know on Feb 15), then let's support David .

Yee-Ha!

It was difficult for me to contain my glee as I read the news release. A company that can't even get their website up before they announce intentions to build hardware is suspect from the start. I'm waiting for my matchbook!

...Additionally, I am pumped to know that the creation of sprinboard modules isn't limited to monolithic companies, or even to those with big money behind them. I scrimped and scraped to buy my visor, so it's nice to know there's a business parallel to people like me: fewer resources but greater passion and innovation.

If there's anything we can to do support Matchbook and companies like it (besides buying the product), let us know.
