Re: jumping on the ePod bandwagon

["Andrew Roberts" <andrew@xxxxxxx>]

I've ordered some ePods too from Salton.

Salton apparently own half the manufacturing control: http://www.salton-maxim.com/

They are part of cmi group http://www.cmiworldwide.com/corporate/partners.html

 

They say the ePods are in on Thursday next week.

 

Should we read much into their epods ceased operations statement:)

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

We are sorry to announce ePods Inc. has ceased operations. This action was taken due to the inability to secure additional funding for the business.

All ePods customers will have continued service and customer support through CMI Worldwide.

Current ePods customers will still receive customer support at 1-877-463-7637.

Please visit us at www.cmiworldwide.com
