“The company will relocate the 6-person startup to exotic Cupertino, California, home of Lab126, Amazon’s Kindle Hardware Division.”
From what I remember, there’s another company that makes touch screen products that is also located in Cupertino. I can’t recall their name at this time though.

As it was before Apple pushed up the price, some book was chaper as Hard Cover, and porto (From England to Denmark) some you could save 1$ on my getting an E-Book.
