We rarely get the real scoop from all angles. Journalists - does anyone remember them - used to research a story and then report it and let us decide with a fairly well-balanced approach. Today, it's all "I posted first" half-assed "research" and we end up the losers. Not speaking to TIPB specifically - I appreciate the followup. Problem is, we rarely see this online...</p> <p>Scott</p> Therein lies the issue with “news” and blogs/internet today. We rarely get the real scoop from all angles.

Zippo made two points in their response above. 1. They chose the best app - Hmm, ours easily is the highest quality if you actually download and compare the two. 2. They chose the other company because they wanted to release it for free - Well, thats the same offer we gave them too. To me its clear that they just chose the lowest bidder and strung us along to find out what features we were going to include and to delay us. If Zippo would have told us that there was competition and that they had to make a decision I could respect them for that, but the fact that they strung us along deliberately and told us nothing is shameful.</p> Hmm, I still stand by my claim that they ripped me off completely.
