Quote - You know, I wonder why Daz wasn't the preferred buyer of Poser if Poser was going to be sold at all? That would have made sense all the way around. It's purely speculative but I wonder if Daz was offered Poser but they refused?
It is possible that Smith Micro approached EF.
The company i work for buys up smaller firms. We don't buy anyone "in trouble", we only buy firms that are solid. As such, we typicaly approach them.
Price really doesn't tell you anything about the deal either. I believe it was mentioned earlier that Smith has marketing and distribution connections that EF will have access to (because EF sold SM distribution rights to some of it's software, not the software itself).
