RE:Business modelYour statement that 3DGO! doesn't need hifi anymore is not necessarily correct. The PR on the new format discusses a new hi-fi format that is more more compatible yet still provides superior picture quality over side-by-side. As well, SIO's autodetect (which I believe is embedded in 3DGO!) allows for a seamless and automatic user experience, without the need for selecting 3d formats in their tv menu, vs. a standard side-by-side experience which is anything but user friendly.
So, if another company is willing to do it, albeit with an inferior picture quality and inferior user experience, they can. But like you said it will take cash. And the poor user experience is the whole reason 3D never really took off like expected in the first place (read: active 3DTVs). So if they are going to spend that cash (and time) anyway why not just buy a proven and working system? With a superior PQ and user experience? And a growing installed user base? While at the same time taking out the competition and acquiring S2D and other 3D patents that generate free cashflow?
The above is exactly why it is likely that as 3DGO! continues to gain traction they become a more and more attractive takeover target. And the sooner someone makes a run at SIO the cheaper it will be. .50? .60? .80? Any scenario is not very expensive for someone with "cash". I think Bruce Campbell said on a previous BNN show that he expects SIO to be taken out before year end. We'll see...
