CONSEQUENCES and identity of the Franks engineer that allegedly leaked prototypes of the new version of the Cradle, is still uncertain. Even more intriguing, is how facilities of Franks have been quiet in the past week as well. Grown from a business that belonged to the Frank family, electronics giant, Franks, is better known to market its products to families instead of individuals. Products such as the Connector and Tree, are designed to bring connectivity among family members, or more widely applied in the commercial world, among small and medium enterprises. At the recent Tech Show 2012, loyal fan and Goosh CIO commented that Our Company uses Franks for its good fit with our opened and familial culture. It is economical and definitely user-friendly. Most importantly, it keeps our organization bonded. The hush up of developments of the newest Cradle, is rumored to be intentional. Says IT blogger, Calvin Fitz, Most of us speculate that Franks might be trying to create hype about its newest Cradle. But nobody will know anything for sure until Franks makes its official press statement on the 2nd of March. Until then families and friends trust and wait eagerly for the beans to spill.
