  1. unfortunately, it is my understanding that US residents who have attempted to buy this product from Hong Kong are denied the sale, mostly likely due to the Orbitec patent.

  2. I HATE ORBITECH!!! Were they or were they not supposed to be finishing up prototype and specifications of THEIR setpu and be introducing it later this year. Where is it Orbitech, huh, where. I can’t even find it on their website anymore. You know what I might do. I might write into Steven Colbert, letting him know what Orbitech did and then maybe people might know who built the Colbert treadmill and what they have done.
