Ideas are cheap, ideas are not patentable, only expressions or instances of
an idea are protectable under the laws of Intellectual Property.

OK, folks, I have an IDEA, an idea that combines a handheld-type device,
some extra hardware, and some software.  I estimate that the nation-wide
revenues of such a package of hardware / software would be between $25MM and
$1 MMM in three years, and more if it is marketed internationally.  The cost
of implementation ought to be negligible.

But the catch is: I won't talk to anyone, like Palm or Handspring, about my
idea, because they won't talk to me without my revealing my idea, and they
won't sign a legal agreement promising to keep my idea secret and / or to
negotiate with me if they want to implement my idea.

So, I'm looking for interest in an idea I won't even hint at here, interest
from someone who has the clout or connections to implement it.  What's in it
for you: part of the pie, of course.  What's the down-side?  You waste five
minutes talking with me.

BTW, I live in New York City and I am a professional software developer.  If
you live close by, it will be easiest to get together.
