Tegis (makers of T9) claimed 90% world market saturation when they were
acquired by AOL. http://www.t9.com/pressreleases/pr_aolacquisition.html I
haven't been following their progress recently, so I don't know how AOL-Tegis
is faring.
The acquisition itself (Dec-99) was rather interesting. Why did AOL want
Tegis? Press release cites instant messaging software for phones. I guess that
isn't entirely unrelated to T9's strengths...but still, seems a rather odd
marriage to me.
