Quote - Reading the Smith Micro announcement, I think the Aquazone product's potential  seems to be of key strategic interest, more so than Poser.   EFrontier collected 6 million dollars in cash.

 

Smith Micro? You gotta be kidding. Are thier resources that much more vast than e-frontier? Aquazone doesn't even compare "Marine Aquarium". The original Aquazone was cool in how you had to feed the fish. They got sick. Died and once dead you never got them back. Unless you found the hidden file on the Drive and deleted it.. The animation wasn't all that realistic. But still great for when it came out.  This "new" aquazone is just a cheap copy of Marine Aquarium"

SmithMicro is a hodge podge of little junk softwares and  a wireless oriented company. So I guess soon Poser will become part of  the "Junk". Unfortunately. The mere fact that Poser is bouncing around owners means it's not selling well at all.  More than likely I would think. . Marketing of Poser is fairly weak in my opinion. Poser definately does not need to be associated with a company who doesn't really delve in 3D  Animation. Want to market it? Hire some serious professional animators, buy a script and make a really good movie.
