Hi there -
Sadly, I think that the overall retraction of tech companies, and the fact
that there are so many other heavy hitters already actively developing and
marketing PDAs, that there is very little room for any new start up
ventures. Also, I firmly believe that it is very difficult to find skilled,
qualified individuals who would have any interest in sweat equity
propositions. I would suggest that a better approach might be to select one
or two current manufacturers to see if there might be some interest in
modifications of existing systems.
