    Swedish news site it24 reports today that Zepto is quitting the market in 14 countries, the remaining ones are Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Germany and Norway.

    Soooo, what will happen to ZeptoUSA? What will happen to the warranties of those in other countries?

    Will Zepto even survive 2009?

    Blaaating is likely not understood in English ;)
    And what part of the interview with their global sales manager, isn't true exactly?
    The interview with mr. Strauss does say that Zepto will stop with BTO and only deliver pre-configured notebooks in the future.

    Well I came in today and we were closed. No more ZeptoUSA. Everything simply vanished!!! In fact there is only a large hole in the ground where the building used to be...

    On top of that I am pretty sure we have a zombie invasion happening!

    All joking aside... The information was vastly misinterpreted and Zepto isnt closing. Zepto will be releasing a press release tomorrow in regards to this article.

    Again, this information is not accurate.

    Ah, seems like Swedish IT media still is trying to keep up the reputation of missintepret anything they can then, that's actually a relief, as I quite like Zepto being around, especially when it's soon time to get a new computer!

    And there is a reason I wrote the down the sources :p
