Sounds like a bunch of smoke mirrors and snake oil to me (I can only imagine what will go through Mel's mind when he sees this.
)
However; the fact that I don't understand it doesn't mean that it can't work. So I ordered one of the samples and will give it a whirl.
We'll see (or rather hear) what happens.
If all of the LI guys order a sample perhaps we can all bring them to a meeting once they arrive and throw a bunch of them in a system at different places to try and get a better idea of what a more full deployment of these devices can do (or not do) for us.
