Dan,

I wrote about Starium in August:
  http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,1282,21236,00.html

CEO Lee Caplin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote me this month and told me they had a
prototype ready to show me. (I was in the area but couldn't stop by.)

I'm copying Lee on this message; I'm sure he can provide details.
