Just a vendors point of view.

Spot looks like an interesting concept. I have advertised for 3
months on my website. Sales so far, two maybes.

Maybe interest will pickup in the spring. The vendor requires you to
buy in lots of 10 units.

Also your local outdoor sports store is alrealy discounting SPOT.

I brought mine in November at REI, from the first few units they had.
Talking to the sales staff there they seem to have lots of people
asking about them, for what that is worth. SPOT kind of missed the
Chrismas peak selling period by not having sales staff at places like
REI well trained, inventory in stores, lead advertising, media reviews
etc. in place, etc. It looks like SPOT is a *very* small organization
so its going to take them a while to get things going and I expect
this to slow their sales ramp a lot.
