Euclid Misses the Bus - Again

One of the last vestiges of hope for ED has been that their object-based technology could be used in mobile handsets to enable video-conferencing. After all, that’s what they demoed to the Boston Globe back in 2006.
Today at their developer conference, Apple unveiled a new app called FaceTime that does teleconferencing on a mobile handset. And guess what? It uses standard Apple hardware and standard video codecs.
Sorry, Euclid, one more train has pulled away from the station without you getting on board.
If EuclidVision has any legs in the marketplace, how has it so consistently missed every opportunity to make an impact? Is it really possible that standing pat for ten years in a rapidly changing technical field is a strategy?
To an outsider, it’s quite puzzling. Without additional information, one would have to think that the company still has nothing that interests any buyers.
