<not quite a flame> - buy it if it does what you want!  If you are really
worried about the staying power of the company just don't be an *early*
buyer.  Once a bunch of them are out there they'll take on a life of 
their own.  (If IBM left the micro market today, would you have any
trouble continuing using an IBM PC, or getting service - NO!)
If it doesn't do what you want - don't buy it!  If you do
then you'll not only have to worry about the existence of the company,
but about the continuity of their marketing plans, etc.
