Innoval may be 'here to stay' for those products about as long as they
were for their Post Road News Reader.  They stayed with PRNR as long as
they could keep selling it, then when the complaints about how bad it
was halted all sales and left them with nothing but complaints, they
dropped it.  

As one who was burned on PRNR, I will have to see something better than
"I hope to get back into the newsreader market" before I will credit
them with "steadfast support of this platform."  I will have to see them
provide me with a usable news reader at no charge.
