You're joking, right?! The "potential" for NEW customers via the iPhone app, is in fact, virtually nil. The only people that will actually use it are existing SIRI customers, who get to pay an extra 3 bucks a month for "premium" content, which in fact, is LESS content that they would otherwise get. No tech savvy person in his right mind would sign up for SIRI based in this application when there are others that are free of glitches with better stream/audio quality that offer MORE either for FREE or a small one time charge...a far cry from the $20/mo or whatever SIRI charges. And if you actually bothered to look at how well received the app is, you'd find that while the NUMBER of downloads is astounding, the people who are actually SATISFIED with the app / "premium" content are few and far between. I would point you to the iPhone app store and take a peak at the reviews...about 1 in 10 is positive.
Also, to clear a few things up, SIRI has had streaming internet radio for some time...this is nothing new, or novel. Also, not that it saves you THAT much money to circumvent buying a sat receiver for your car (they can be had for $50) it's ALREADY very easy to integrate an iPhone into a car stereo. I do it to stream Pandora and it works great. And guess what, Pandora is free. Also, how many people in China are going to jump on here?!!! I'm sure the gov there will be thrilled to have Howard Stern streaming across the nation...oh, wait...the "premium content" doesn't even have Stern.
Get real man...dead company, LOADED with debt, inferior product that costs too much...sooner or later, it's done.
Something tells me, Lemon-Turd won't respond to any of this....that's cool. Despite his BIZZARO career "progression"...ie from convicted thief, to much bigger thief...he's still gonna be on the down low here:)
Oh...and one last time....LEMON --- you're a turd...I hope you end up in the fed. I'm guessing though, by the "substance" of your content, and the deeds that you've done, you might actually enjoy the pokey -- and I DO mean POKEY! I will sleep well 2night -- you? lol. didnt think so...soon you'll be the bitch that you are:) Good luck w/ that:) lol.
ok...so it looks like (and is) a personal attack against this lemon-turd....That said: I have no problem / admitting that, based on DD, I think he's a thief and a fraud...who copulates / profits from pounding unsuspecting, newly listed legits or pennies...whomever. He hides behind the CA Anti-SLAPP law...according to the website it's a " public interest law firm and policy organization dedicated to protecting the rights of Californians to participate in government and civic affairs and to speak freely about public issues"...." CASP provides legal assistance and representation to individuals and organizations being SLAPPed in California courts and engages in policy advocacy to improve the functioning of the anti-SLAPP law in the Legislature."....
Apparently, Mr. Lemon requires legal assistance from the state...
wHATEVER, bottom line, from what I've read, he's been sued numerous times for the same kind of fraud, he's stolen money from his employer, and he shorts, admittedly, the stocks he bashes.....what more do you need to know?! If I had the time, I'm sure I could come up w/ a lot more on this POS but seriously, what more does one need?! Banned from NFA for "MISLEADING STATEMENTS TO CHEAT, DEFRAUD OR DECEIVE A CUSTOMER"....stole and cashed checks from former employer....there's tons more he's accused of....deal or no deal, I would steer clear of anything this guy says. And by the way, I'm not a long, or a short....I got in, got out, I lost a little. But after doing a little home work on this JACKASS, I felt the need to post some facts about this lemon flavored turd. My guess is, this (alleged) fraud (eg., his short selling blog article about BIDZ, HSOA, to name a couple) cost a lot of people a LOT OF MONEY...leading to his benefit. What's funny is, if you listened to the conference call, a guy named "Sherman McCoy" -- a character from the movie " The Bonfire of the Vanities" -- entered (no NEW news...this has been reported repeatedly....his life as a self-assumed "Master of The Universe" on Wall Street is destroyed when his mistress, Maria Ruskin, runs over a black youth in the Bronx while driving McCoy's car)...and that was one of many "suspicious, flaming" inquiries over the course of the call until mgmt realized they were being attacked, and bailed. Ya think Lemon was in on this? Hmmm....seems easy enough to draw conclusions....but I'll leave it to the readers. Bottom line, leave it to the readers...convicted fraud, or....?

From Yahoo Message: Questions to ask Andrew Left, the author of this list of questions:
1. Are you the Andrew Left who lost his futures trading license after the Futures Trading Association judged him guilty (after a hearing) of having defrauded numerous customers? 2. Are you the same Andrew Left who was a defendant in a class action lawsuit for having defrauded customers of a stock brokerage house? 3. Are you the same Andrew Left who obtained a license and sold stocks under the false name of Henry Lipton? 4. Are you the same Andrew Left who filed a fraudulent biography with the SEC in a filing by Detour Online that omitted any mention of the work history described above? 5. Are you the same Andrew Left who was forced to resign his position at Detour Online? 6. Are you the same Andrew Left who was accused by Detour Online of stealing $25,000 from the corporate coffers? 7. On Augist 1, 2007, you published a blog post about HSOA that contained false and misleading information. You published this post while you also held a losing short position in HSOA. Was your blog post of Aug. 1 a deliberate attempt to use false and misleading information to manipulate the price of a publicly traded security? 8. On August 6, 2006, you hosted a conference call about HSOA that spread misleading information. This conference call was held three days in advance of the company's scheduled earnings release, and was held while you held a losing short position in this stock. Was your conference call a deliberate attempt to use false and misleading information to manipulate the price of a publicly traded security? 9. You posted a blog entry on HSOA on August 30, 2007, that contained false and misleading information. This was one day before you initiated a short position in HSOA. Was your blog entry a deliberate attempt to use false information to manipulate the price of a publicly traded security? 10. You posted a blog entry about HSOA on September 26, 2007, which contained misleading information. This was on the same day you closed a short position. Was your blog entry of Sep. 26 a deliberate attempt to manipulate the price of a publicly traded security? 11. In view of the accuracy of the factual basis for the previous 10 questions, why should any investor any where in the world believe even a single word you write about anything?
Funny how on the same site you have an "unknown" author (or is his/ her name "Growth Stock Analytics"?!) pumping this stock and 2 days later the Lefty-Lemon guy flaming it into oblivion. I smell fish.
