2 things you guys screwed up on. 1st, removing the iPad app from apps store and not continuing to support existing customers who bouht into extending their desktops even further.
2nd, Windows 8 was in beta form for a year. You knew that this was a major push by Microsoft. You should have assumed and known that most users are consuming more and more media content on desktops now and would naturally take advantage of the advanced app ui and features of metro apps, that's the whole point of upgrading to Win8.
I use 6 of your USB devices from various OEMs. Up until this point, I depended and even bragged about how great Displaylink was.
Maybe you guys are going through a touch time right now, I don't know. I do know, companies like yours fail at marketing such great technologies and eventually go under. Please do not depend on your OEMs for marketing. Definitely do not depend on retail online and brick/mortar to push your leading edge technologies as well. Trust me, mist do not push or know you products in local stores that carry one or more of your adapters.
Also for you to have teased us with the iPad app, not supporting it and eventually taking it away, that was the wrong move. Even if the app made little or no revenue, it was and still could be a great way to bring customers to Displaylink. Make it open source via APIs or bring it back, sell it for $15.00 in Apple and Android stores respectively.
I have too much invested in your tech, so please get this resolved and don't let the customers you do have down.
