Now The sp of this rotter has dipped towards the placing price - oh dear and we all though flat-speakers were cutting edge.
Turns out no-one needs them and those that do won't pay more than the cheapest conventional speaker cost. That isn't much, naturally.
Again it looks like it's only Directors that do well in these Jam-tomorrow co's.

Seems a we bit clearer-cut to me.
Toyota were about to specify NTX speakers - nothing surprising in that, yet some of the Market was able to profit from this and shareholders were told by the Company they knew of no reason . . . .
Er, sorry? Don't you think these shares were being bought on the strength of this Totyota interest ( and Order, it seems?).....perhaps the FSA would like to look at the parties involved - that's any purchases over 10k-worth, repeat purchases etc. I'm guessing...........can't all be "random-chancers" thinking the shares are ( were!) a bargain.....

Heard that more sales orders to be released.
This company has huge potenial, their flat speakers technology will be used on all electrical equipment soon.

Found this on the otherside:
Music: Sound and Vision
New sound and vision speakers may be part of a wider revolution that promises to change how we perceive the world.
Double-click on any word to view the Cambridge Dictionary definition.
When we imagine technologies of the future we always think of them as being massively better rather than massively different. Take audio technology for example. Over the last two decades weve had amazing advances with the Walkman, home cinema systems with surroundsound, and iPods. But the physical speaker, the rectangular box or the headset has remained relatively unchanged. Until now.
British firm NXT Technology has revolutionised both the clarity and the design of the modern hi-fi system. Their Distributed Mode Loudspeaker (DML) technology represents the most significant advance in loudspeaker technology in the past 80 years. Their technology can turn a surface into a transmitter of perfect sound.
Once it was the bigger your speakers, the better your stereo. But the NXT technology can turn your actual system, or parts of a product, such as PC monitor, TV screen, or even mobile phone, into a speaker.
The technology works by placing small exciters, or motors, on a panel surface, which causes a vibration that pushes out the sound waves, explains Dianne Silverberg, NXTs Communications Manager. NXTs SoundVu technology combines sound and vision in a simple but effective form. By turning the screen into the loudspeaker, it delivers the ultimate zero-footprint loudspeaker.
Futurist Alvin Toffler described future shock as the shattering stress and disorientation that we induce in individuals by subjecting them to too much change in too short a time. We have lived with speaker technology for so long, there is something truly dramatic about seeing a screen speak. Its like animating an object.
Plus, this technology delivers another experience that previously only sound buffs would have sought out the sweet spot. Traditional speakers tend to beam higher frequencies into a narrow angle to create a very narrow listening sweet spot.
This means that if youre not actually sat within that sweet spot youre not hearing the full sound output and in particular youre losing the higher frequencies and with them intelligibility, says Silverberg. The NXT panels radiate sound creating a much wider listening angle or universal sweet spot.
Bizarrely, the technology stems from research for the Ministry of Defence into developing sound dampers in helicopter cockpits. The patent, says Silverberg, was for the initial development of a technology to turn flat surfaces into loudspeakers. The NXT technology can be applied to opaque or transparent panel materials, while the SoundVu technology is applied to the transparent panels that sit in front of an LCD or Plasma screen, so that the sound is intrinsically connected to the moving image.
The NXT technology is part of an emerging trend for synaesthetic technology. This is technology that unifies sense perceptions creating integrated sense experiences. The Playstation game Rez has a games controller which is synchronized with the sound so the controller literally thumps along with the music soundtrack and the firing. And the theme of the art gallery at this years major SIGGRAPH conference is synaesthesia.
Commercially, Silverberg believes that this technology offers major advantages to manufacturers of audio equipment in terms of sound quality, design flexibility and cost saving. But NXT may be pushing the boundaries of perception, creating a 21st century where sound and vision are experienced as one.

Back up now, this is going Yo-Yo today, but tomorrow will be a different story as the future is NXT.

RNS 23 April 08 - - - "...the company cannot understand the sp movement..." - that's based on their non-release of news, I presume.
Ahem
Within eight weeks several deals are announced and sp doubles - er, who's stupid I wonder?
So, who was buying all that stock?

Some good news (at last I hear?) and the sp is now up on Buys about double the Sells. - but in these times almost anything pushes stock one way or the other.
I think we need to be careful - the Co has promised everything and delivered nothing . . . a Dividend would be nice.

A year later and sp is disasterous! I suspect anyone could make a similar sounder but a "real loudspeaker" would knock 'em all into a cocked-hat. If you want to shift air you need a real speaker. You can't buck physics....although NTX's tech might give an improvement in a tiny handset...it's probably not worth paying much for it...and therin lies their problem.. er, IMHO.
I don't recall any update from the Co. as shareholder; so why would anyone (else) invest in this little sinker?
If you want to see how bad Audio investment is...look for that bunch of winkers on Plus - Feonic - Arrgh!
EDIT December 2011 - Looks like a Name-change - some while back - hence lack of up-to-date News on this one.
