  1. Medison by mysqlbytes · · Score: 0 · on $150 Linux Laptop for the Masses

    Interesting... Such a scam, just setup a website somewhere, claim something, and then try charge for it. I wondered why there was an index3.html page, but no index2.html, turns out its another office they have! HA! http://www.medison.se/index2.html

    If you look at the Medison site there is a physical address on the contact page, so that makes them look slightly more legit :)

  3. A CEO who does it all by Teh+MegaHurtz · · Score: 1 · on $150 Linux Laptop for the Masses

    Not only is he responsible for what has the potential to become the next big thing in home computing, he also apparently is the webmaster of the site. If you were to go to http://www.medison.se/ and read the company history, you will find an image with a red X, which points to file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Valdi%20Ivan cic/My%20Documents/Medison/new/abouteng_files/10re d.JPG. I commend a CEO of such an innovative company for designing the corporate website. There are a few other small discrepancies in the site, but this seemed to be the one I found the funniest.

    Looks like you found the plastic they're wrapping their gear in. Good thing they don't have to make their own molds.
    They don't say they manufacture in Sweden. They say they're a Swedish company which spins off companies. Their press releases say their manufacturer in Brazil has been busy for months.

    They claim United Keys is one of their spinoffs, a key-shaped display device. http://www.unitedkeys.com/index.html
    Medison's Intelligentia spinoff claims the iBoard, a keyboard with displays in the keys. http://engvall.org/intelligentia/index.html

    The Medison history also claims a relationship with several companies around the world. Anyone in Silicon Valley want to visit to confirm that? http://www.medison.se/history.htm

    The man behind this all seams to be Valdi Ivancic the one that invented display keys ( http://www.unitedkeys.com/ ). And his blog is at: http://www.medison.se/weblog/valdi/index.html

    On the company webpage, the ONLY contact information provided appears to be for a residential house in Kent.

    Medison Europe Limited
    27 Ruffets Wood
    Gravesend, Kent
    DA12 5JQ England

    Heres the google maps link.

    For a company that claims "... from Brazil to California" and doesn't even have an office in Sweden... it has to be a fake.

    Why so many countries involved in this - the address on one of their sites

    http://www.medison.se/contacteng.html

    is in the UK, here

    http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q =DA12+5JQ

    24 miles away - perhaps I'll drive past and see what is there.

    Maybe it's because they're Swedish?

    Different price -- Processing fees? They were mentioned by another comment above.

    The payment processor is in Ohio - 2Checkout.com. Reviewing their site (and Google) they seem to be a legitimate company and their FAQ implies that consumers will receive refunds if the merchant can't prove delivery of the product.

    Not to say this is all true -- I want to believe it, but as others have said - sounds like a little much for the price.

    Can anyone (Swedish?) confirm this list of other projects from their corporate site: http://www.medison.se/productseng.html ?
