Sinclair Research Ltd
I've been working very hard on this article for a few days, adding lots of missing information, improving the leading paragraph, and adding photos and a see also section. Its quite comprehensive, but I think it still needs improvement. I'd love to get this article to FA status, this company created the world's first pocket calculator, first sub-£100 personal computer and first portable TV, and created some of the smallest radios ever. What do you think? Wackymacs 10:25, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Only had time for a fairly quick read, but it looks good. A couple of things though (well, alright, a few): I'd like to see more on how the C5 destroyed the company, seeing as they were doing so well before then, and a lot more stuff on what the company have been doing since 1986 - are they currently owned by Amstrad?  Does Sir Clive have any involvement with them at all?  How did they end up selling bicycles etc and are they doing well at it?  Current turnover and number of employees? I realise the company has been nothing like as notable since '86 but it'd be interesting to find out more about what they've been up to since then. CTOAGN 12:41, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Duh. Just noticed the introduction mentions that C5 Clive is still there.  A bit more about what percentage of the company he now owns would be good though. CTOAGN 12:45, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the useful comments so far. Clive Sinclair himself probably owns most of the company, since it's scale today is most likely nothing like it was in the 80s. Amstrad only ever bought their products, not the company itself, Amstrad don't make personal computers anymore (and never really did make good use of Sinclair's great products). The Sinclair Zike bicycle sort of went the way of the C5, I believe. I'll see what I can add to the article based on your comments. — Wackymacs 13:13, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
