The panel of <strong>Andrew Orr</strong>, <strong>Jim Rea</strong>, <strong>Frank Petrie</strong>, <strong>Kelly Guimont</strong>, <strong>Jay Miller</strong>, <strong>Brittany Smith</strong>, <strong>David Ginsburg </strong>and <strong>Mark Fuccio </strong>examine why differentiators in those devices can be a good thing or a not-so-good thing.
