I, too, saw that commercial last night.  At the last X3J13 meeting, I
first heard about this new "Explorer" from the TI folks.  

Apparently, TI has been aware of this and is pursuing it.  I believe,
however, that TI trademarked "Texas Instruments Explorer" and not just
"Explorer" which could account for why this other group [Head Start?]
went ahead with it.
