Wer kauft den jetzt noch bluetooth Adapter für Palm Vx für 200 USD ?

Interessant wäre es, wenn die die ersten wären die eine bluetooth Karte für den 505 herausbringen würden.

[Tbroker]

hi MichaelFK,

ich denke, dass das Klientel wohl Unternehmen sind und nicht "Privatpersonen".
Weiterhin denke ich, dass dies ein Schritt in die richtige Richtung, gerade für Madge Networks, die ja bekanntlich Probleme mir der Liquidität haben.
Red M ist mit seinen Produkte ein Vorreiter in Sachen Bluetooth. (..., der erste Bluetooth-Server, etc.)

Einfach abwarten und Tee trinken...

Hi Tbroker,
habe lange überlegt, ob ich madge verkaufen soll. War ja klar, daß nun erst mal Gewinnmitnahmen kommen. Hat mancher sicher seinen Schnitt gemacht. Habe mich aber doch weiter für long entschieden. Denke eben bis 2002 und glaube, daß dann sicher ein Kurs stehen wird, bei dem wir keinen Tee sonder Champus trinken. Glaube mit RedM werden wir noch tolle positive Überraschungen erleben.

Madge.connect Launches Global Web Portal to Offer Online Sales Channel for the Industry`s Leading Range of Token Ring Solutions
WEXHAM SPRINGS, U.K.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 20, 2001--
www.token-ring.com Will Complement Existing Reseller Channel to Enhance Processing, Fulfillment and Delivery of Madge Customer Orders
Madge.connect(TM), a subsidiary of Madge Networks N.V. (NASDAQ NM: MADGF), has announced its new Madge Portal online sales channel for its market-leading range of Madge Token Ring solutions.
The Madge Portal will be available from September 2001 at www.token-ring.com and will enable global customers to access the complete range of Madge Token Ring solutions online, as well as taking advantage of Token Ring-related services and information. It will provide users with a range of benefits including reduced operational costs and greater choice, support for online credit card purchasing, the latest information on product strategies and developments delivered direct to their desktop, and an online interface to further enhance communications with their preferred reseller.
The launch of the new Portal extends Madge.connect`s e-commerce development strategy and supports the company`s latest research, which shows that 47 per cent of customers surveyed are interested in buying their Token Ring solutions online. The new Portal allows accredited Madge resellers to set up online catalogues that customers can access via a standard Web browser and use to place purchase orders online. Customers can purchase Madge Token Ring and complementary IT and networking products from Madge resellers. All orders will be fulfilled through Madge.connect`s existing resellers and distributors.
"Recent Madge research indicated that many customers buy, or plan to buy, networking products online, but many resellers do not yet offer this facility," said Simon Drennan, Marketing Director for Madge.connect. "Around 47 per cent of customers surveyed said that they would like to buy Token Ring products via the Web, which clearly demonstrates the strong customer demand for online purchasing. Madge.connect is again responding to the need of Token Ring customers everywhere by offering free access to this e-trading Portal."
"The new Madge Portal will also complement existing customer-to-reseller relationships by bringing the two parties together online. Madge now truly enables e-commerce with a complementary channel to market that broadens sales opportunities for our worldwide resellers and increases choice and value for our customers," added Simon Drennan.
Customers interested in the Portal can register at http://www.madge.com/connect/portal or email [e-mail]
