Apparently, people have been pestering our editors about reviewing DataPlay's products. So, here's one for the shock machine. CNET has the story.

DataPlay, a start-up that developed a secure new media format it expected would replace the CD, has shut down at least temporarily as it looks for new funding.

Todd Oseth, the Boulder, Colo.-based company's senior vice president of business and marketing, confirmed that all employees were furloughed last week after DataPlay ran out of money.
