Poser is the flea on the tail of the dog.

Developments in the mobile softward arena will determine the future of SM.

Given the share price drop and critical importance of future purchases by one major customer, I seriously doubt Poser comes up much at board meetings.

They're not really a very big company.  For 2010, the last full year available, the revenue was $131 million and the market cap was $62 million.  Definitely small cap zone.  Return on Equity was negative.  Results to date in 2011 are far worse.

By the way, in reviewing the financials, there are assets of $213 million, of which $94 million is goodwill.  Read their latest 10k for more.

I would be shocked if DAZ allowed itself to be acquired by a company with a balance sheet like SMs.  It would have to be an all cash deal - I can guarantee that much.
