Art stated: "Geesh, so where does that leave the likes of KonicaMinolta, Toshiba, Kyocera and Sharp?"

This specific Ricoh Press Release is a direct response to Konica Minolta acquiring All Covered, Inc.

If you read carefully, there is no real newsworthy 'event' or 'announcement' in the Press Release, which is a statement in itself.

The Press Release announces an 'intent' rather than an 'action' that has been taken.

Sources tell me that this 'dog-and-pony' show was dressed up at an event held at the Ricoh New York City Tech Portal yesterday, with folding chairs throughout the main floor and yellow balloons scattered throughout.

Ricoh can put on an impressive show.

I'll wait to see the substance.

The big Battleship is not turning quickly enough and this baby is gonna start to take on water.

Like some infamous East Coast executives, Ricoh has been caught with their pants down again.
