Mo and Scott: This press release (and the attention to market trends remark in particular) is an attempt to soothe the fears of their investors (and potential investors). This type of release is not meant to be encouraging to users of their products. Many companies and corporations are releasing statements about cutbacks, layoffs and other attempts to save money and thereby strengthen the company's worth (so goes the theory) at this time, because of the state of the world economy (not that great, you probably noticed). It's just business, it doesn't need to make sense. :^)
