My interpretation: they're going to be making new products that will
depend upon features designed into the TransWarp GS. If you buy someone
else's (e.g. Zip), you won't be able to take advantage of the neat new
stuff that will be coming out. They really stressed "future compatibility."

Anyone read something else into the ad?
