Liebermann Inc.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Liebermann Inc. (also Go-L) was a computer company founded in September 2003 that rose to fame by posting descriptions of fanciful products on its website. The company closed its doors in October 2004, citing cashflow problems. It remains unclear whether the company ever had any significant number of staff or customers, or if it ever shipped more than a few (if any) products.

Liebermann's advertised products included a dual processor notebook, a 5.0 GHz "Personal Super Computer" and a widescreen monitor consisting of up to five LCD panels connected together. They also sold rebranded products made by other companies, though often at much higher prices than the original.

Since the website first appeared Liebermann's products were accused of being vaporware, hoaxes or both. In April 2005, after the company closed, the company's founders issued a statement describing themselves as a "zero-budget company" but maintaining to the end that they always intended to ship the advertised products.

In October 2005, Liebermann Computers, according to their website, has returned with new products said to be coming soon and has taken the company public under the symbol LITL.PK in the NASDAQ market and trades also in the Frankfurt market.

More recently, their website describes an umbrella of 16 corporations, including their computer company and mentioning a motoring company and an architectural design company. The new site for these companies, according to the website, is slated to launch in Q3 of 2006.
