As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, our aggregate future purchase commitments remaining totaled $7.7 million and $8.6 million, respectively, and are fully reserved.</td></tr></table> 8.  INVENTORY, NET   Inventory, net consisted of thefalsefalsefalsefalsefalseOtherus-types:textBlockItemTypestringThis element represents the complete disclosure related to inventory.
