Redis is a particular product, not a catch-all for low latency in-memory data stores. So saying your product is a Redis (which you did, rather than making an analogy) was merely embarrassing attention grabbing marketing palaver which does discredit to your product and suggests that you don't have the attention to detail and critical thinking skills required to properly implement a product in this space. See: MongoDB.

I don't think you understand Redis. Redis is also a key-value store, but implements a variety of structures, not just RTree, and has a large number of operations on those data structures (http://redis.io).
Spacebase appears to be a significantly more primitive KV store that implements RTree. Not that that's bad; looks interesting, even though it appears that the product won't be free, and so in my opinion is probably doomed.
Using 'Redis' in the title is just embarrassing for Spacebase and, by extension, for YC too. No need to troll the professional developer community with ridiculous comparisons.

Product appears to have nothing to do with Redis and isn't even remotely compatible. Marketer uses buzzword to attempt to get credibility and hence immediately loses all credibility with actual market.

The good thing about the AppStore password timing out after 15 minutes is that you can hand your child the ipad/iphone/etc. and not get a surprise $5,000 itunes bill.

Maybe it's just me, but I find the e-paper Kindles to be absolutely terrible reading experiences. The text is still relatively low contrast, but the real deal killer is the refresh flash. It's jarring and disruptive and it is nothing like a page turn.
