It should be noted that HandOff is the predecessor to HandOff II.  When
what is now The Handoff Corportation made the announcement that they
were upgrading HandOff to HandOff II, it appeared that they were going
to support both versions (they may have even said it in their notice, I
can't remember for sure).  I would have thought that they just would
have dropped HandOff once HandOff II came out.  Selling the rights to
the product seems to be a better idea than mine.
