Virgin Electronics Flushed Down The (Boom)tubes

Speaking of Virgin happenings...According to Engadget, it seems Virgin Electronics is dead. Kind of a shame if you ask me. They really took some risks and came out with great looking products. A couple big name firms tackled some hard hitting electronics that failed to fly off the shelves as they hoped. First it was the Target-only line designed by Ecco, and most recently the line of mobile mp3 products designed by Astro. Maybe Richard Branson was too busy to help out, what with his dealings with Fox. I mean, can a Rebel Billionaire be expected to keep tabs on everything his companies are up to? I suppose you can afford to have a few misses when you've got billions in the bank.
