The orbs create feedback loops that can influence either personal of employee behavior.

Every time we bring someone in we ensure that they are a strategic thinker, but even more important that they understand that if the products aren’t successful and the products don’t sell that there won’t be anything to strategize about.

There will be hundreds of new companies that will be created to develop these very simple data devices.

I think one of the most important attributes is perseverance.

It is hard to check five email inboxes, three voice mail systems, or five blogs that you are tracking.

Pager companies are very much looking to provide new services to help them regain some of their customer base.

Ambient Devices develops a new generation of consumer electronic products.

We target people who understand that relationships are the lifeline of a small company.

Most of us feel overburdened by information, although I would say the overloaded feeling comes more from coordinating all of the information and responding to it.

We initially targeted pager networks, which have been suffering for the last decade due to cell phone sales.

Integral to the orb is our low cost long-range wireless radio data system and a protocol that allows us to send this data over 90% of the US population every 15 minutes throughout the day.

There are already a lot of devices in our lives that have rich text or the ability to handle graphics. Our devices are designed to be understood in less than a quarter of a second.

The orb allows for constant dynamic feedback.

All of the devices work out of the box without any subscription fee.

The orbs have probably sold better through catalogs because they can be categorized unlike at most stores.

Our criteria for good data feeds are that they need to be dynamic enough to be interesting, something that users want to attune to throughout the day, etc.

We are extremely attractive to page companies, because we significantly increase their user base.

We created the ability for people to insert enterprise or personal data.

Ambient Devices is what I call part of the Third Wave of Internet devices.

Our system allows you to respond to the information that is important to you. It allows you to sense and be attuned to more streams of information in parallel.
