multisystems showed there is not much of a market for lots of wimpy nodes -- yet or never, is the real question. Either way, they did not have enough buyers to stay in business. And RLX had to drop its wimpy transmetas for P4s, and they could not keep up with the cheap mainboards. It's a tough business.
All RLX showed was that they didn't know how to market benefits rather than nifty technology. Once again, the company with beautifully engineered products failed to understand that the decision makers who would buy the products were not engineers who loved them but people who needed education and handholding in order to understand them and overcome FUD from RLX competitors. A well-worn path.
