From the article:
$499/unit
a few thousand sales in 2 months…

From my brain:
Assuming few = 2

$499×2,000= $998,000

IN TWO MONTHS!

Assume a 20% profit margin

$998,000 x 20% = $199,600 in GM = $1.2m business.

Doesn’t sound like a failure. That is, unless, they really didn’t sell a few thousand of them. If you are going to print numbers, please see if they make sense and question the provider on them.

But that description doesn’t really do the application justice. Basically, it allows you to watch internet video on your television screen using a remote control almost as easily as a keyboard and mouse. You know, a lot like Boxee. But there’s one major thing setting Zinc apart from Boxee: Zinc is based on Firefox. And that’s going to make it awfully hard for content partners to detect whether you’re using Zinc or Firefox, which means it’ll be a lot harder for companies like Hulu to ask Zeevee (the makers of Zinc) to block access.
