Love it, but wasn't the software tricorder app shut down by CBS on the basis of trademark infringement? How on earth will this project survive that?

Get notoriety, be forced to change name amid flurry of press. Speaking of which, did that other app come back to life?

The tricorder app was apparently shut down because CBS claimed it infringed upon their graphical interface, not because of the name itself. The app has since been relaunched.
