It is far too early to tell what the marketplace thinks.  A major Palm stockholder has prepared a competing whitepaper in Dec. 2005 that fails to mention SCO Me at all.  It assumes Blackberry-like messaging, which it calls "push email" in a awkward generic phrase, is the smart phone "killer app".  The wayoutwestmusic.com demo of SCO Me centered on its multimedia Blackberry-like use.

McBride has been trying to raise capital to launch SCO Me since at least May, 2005.  The delayed launch, lack of citation by Palm or its analysts, and internal capitalization, are all evidence that the Mobile market may not value SCO Me tremendously.

Palm will launch a Treo smartphone, running a Windows mobile OS in January, with a single network provider.  The SCO Me backend has been running on a Win32 version of Apache.  The wayoutwestmusic demo had network issues away from metropolitan areas, smartphones in general have had a network capability chicken-and-egg problem.
