We have a mobile app ready for release that you can take to the tailor of your choice and poke in the measurements. Stay tuned on that front. We're also looking into some more advanced measurement technologies.

Absolutely correct, you can be well dressed without a suit.

A nearly identical business model, but we have some unique technology and more direct customer contact. For example, when you place an order we have a system which modulates your measurements with data from other customers to identify potential measurement errors. When those are flagged we will contact you directly to sort it out and ensure the suit has the best chance of a great fit. Measuring yourself is error prone, so we have a lot of mechanisms to identify and rectify those issues.

We're launching shirts too. French cuffs and all. We can already take orders but they're not on the site yet.

All of the antitrust stuff of the last decade has really tamed Microsoft. I'm not sure they'd do that. I really wanted to like Windows Phone 7, but have lost faith and think WebOS may have an opportunity to overtake them if HP plays their cards right.
Microsoft's biggest hope for penetration is the Nokia partnership. Two frightened dinosaurs huddling in a cave as the comet approaches...

How Dead is WebOS?

New HP devices are coming out and folks are migrating to HTML/CSS/Javascript frameworks, which was always the case for WebOS. Does it have a chance for third place in the smartphone market after it's precipitous downfall?

Wish I were using this rather than ELance for my current outsourced design project. Price point might be just a tad high, but looks great.

That skill set is in high demand. Rather than be blocked I suggest you outsource. Find a freelancer...give him or her a test drive. Maybe they'll be your next employee.

They're cheap, I admit that. But they are challenged interfacing with US clients. We've found that by giving business away (matching their rates) and delivering a few small jobs, US customers will keep coming back.
That said, there are a few good ones out there so we should keep on our toes.
