And they&amp;#x27;d still have to build a significant part of their SDK on top of iOS or Android, no?</text></comment>

But somehow they have no problem raising money or getting publicity.  Either they have something that is real and &lt;i&gt;extremely&lt;/i&gt; convincing to investors that they have been able to keep very secret, or they have a really slick slide deck made of lies.&lt;p&gt;We’ll know for sure if&amp;#x2F;when the first production devices go on sale, but if Shaq was wearing a real pair then I don’t want them.</text></comment>
