Anonymous In my opinion, diversification is good and should be part of the strategy of every company as long as it doesn't hurt the focus of the company. Apple on the other side killed many products when Steve Jobs returned in late 90s just to maintain their focus. Not sure if Google will repeat it's success by trying to be in every market.

Alvin SchaefferAgree. Phonedog is being far too reactive in something that could have been averted had they been more restrictive in the beginning. They enjoyed the increased attention and then cried foul when it went astray.
