Neat product, but I think they lose a bit of credibility with this quote:

"nobody's nailed how to make the iPad a compelling every day productivity tool"

Really? Also, $139 seems like a bit high, but I could be wrong.

Hi, RJ let us get Collusion out the door:) or come try it at our next test event. My definition of 'nailing it' (my quote so i take responsibility for it) is to see people regularly using their iPads, in meetings, a lecture theater, or choose to use it over the laptop that they have sitting on their desk. I dont see that yet, not even close. I think that's a big hairy goal worth going after. Sincerely hoping to prove you wrong... just a little bit:)

As for the price - yes indeed it is expensive - this is new and quite complex tech (sporting the worlds fastest cloud collaboration system - as you could imagine is somewhat different to slapping it up on EC2. It should be expensive, as we're not building it on the cheap:) Given it adresses a gaping hole in the market for a lot of people who want to use the iPad as a primary productivity tool, I'd argue it is excellent value:)*takes off marketing hat.. Hope to win you over in the coming months. Keep an eye on us.

Cheers,

Rob, CEO Collusion.
