The only comical thing here is reviewing the posts after being gone for months only to find the same old spewing the same old - don't you folks have anything meaningful to do?
Spend your time supporting relief efforts and not posting jibberish about stocks and companies.
Get a life.
Back again in a few months to see if anything as changed or if the same old folks here keep up the same irrelevant and useless chatter.
Bye for now,
Cal-law
Are you sure?

Dear Robert:
Rarely do I see someone post boldly that you and the company have engaged in publishing intentionally false PRs. But see this:

e.Digital did not have anything to do with the prototype of the embedded digeplayer that was "unveiled" by Inflight Canada at WAEA so e.Digital's PR was false and misleading.
I don't know what e.Digital's role might be with the model that Wencor went on to develop without Inflight Canada and that Boyer displayed today. I certainly don't accept Putnam's assurance they are actively "working with" Wencor on it.
There is no reason not to let shareholders know what revenue-producing role e.Digital will have. NRE fees? Manufacturing? None?
It's hard to believe that shareholder's continue to fall for Putnam's ambiguous statements that are nothing but innuendo.
~Cassandra"
Was e.Digital's PR "false and misleading?" or was that a patently false statement of fact and a direct attack on the company and management?
If so, as a shareholder, I respectfully demand that you initiate necessary action.
Please advise.
Cassy: I will pass on your statement of fact to e.Digital. "e.Digital did not have anything to do with the prototype of the embedded digeplayer that was "unveiled" by Inflight Canada at WAEA so e.Digital's PR was false and misleading."
If you have falsely accused the company of releasing "false and misleading" information (a possibly serious tort), I'm hopeful that it will file yet another action and collect yet another $200,000+. Is that good for you?

DataPlay Discs Stage a Comeback
1 hour, 22 minutes ago Technology - PC World
Martyn Williams, IDG News Service
CHIBA, JAPAN-- One of the most talked-about and anticipated optical storage formats of 2001 is back.
The DataPlay disc, a postage-stamp sized disc capable of holding 500MB of information, broke onto the scene at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in 2001 when it won a "Best of Show" award. The rest of the year saw hardware player deals, agreements to make discs, and content distribution contracts. But then things went wrong. The high cost of a nationwide launch forced original developer DataPlay into bankruptcy in late 2002.
However, the DataPlay technology did not die. In 2003 the intellectual property relating to the system was purchased by DPHI, which is now promoting it as a cheap, high capacity, long-lasting and secure way to store digital content.
Some small South Korean and Chinese companies are already working on DataPlay-based devices and the technology is being evaluated by some of the region's largest electronics companies, DPHI executives said in an interview at Ceatec Japan 2004 this week. They were at the major Japanese electronics show to help one of their partners, Japan's FKDigital, launch a DataPlay-based media storage unit.
New and Improved
The basic disc is unchanged from before and can hold 500MB of data. But some things are new.
The reliance on a proprietary file system is gone, in favor of the industry-standard FAT (file allocation table) file system, says Dave Davies, chief technology officer of DPHI. This means devices with DataPlay drives are recognized as USB Mass Storage devices when connected to PCs and they work on Windows, Apple, and Linux (news - web sites) systems without the need for special device drivers.
In addition to its size and storage capacity, another feature is a disc-based security system that supports file-level specification of security attributes such as the number of generations of copy permitted and an expiry date for the data.
"It's the exact reason why we used DataPlay," says Fukiko Shinsato, CEO of FKDigital. "We needed something that was portable and very secure. We initially thought of making our own [format] but then came across DataPlay and it was exactly what we needed. The key points are its 100-year lifetime, durability, cost, and security. Especially the ability for file-level encryption," she says.
FKDigital's first DataPlay-based product allows users to insert an SD (Secure Digital) memory card and transfer its contents to a DataPlay disc with the press of a button. The device is aimed at digital camera users, especially those who don't own personal computers, who want to empty the contents of a memory card to a cheaper storage media and continue using the card. It can also be connected to cameras via USB for download and can be connected to a television to enable viewing of the stored images.
The 500MB DataPlay discs will be sold in Japan for $4.50.
More to Come
The company is also looking at higher-capacity versions. A disc capable of holding 750MB of data is already available in sample quantities to device makers and a commercial launch is anticipated around the end of this year or in early 2005, says Bill Almon, president and CEO of DPHI.
"[Many] formats [are] designed to fit on a CD," he says. "There are lots of DiVX movies on the Internet that are designed for that capacity."
Because its capacity is similar to CD, Almon says, he sees this new disc as being suitable for use in portable digital media players and the company has produced a video-player reference design for customers to work with. A major Korean electronics maker is integrating the DataPlay drive into such a player that will be announced soon, he says.
The company is courting a large potential market. With the success of digital music players like Apple Computer's IPod, many device makers are looking at developing portable video players; but the very success of the IPod is also working a little against the DataPlay disc.
"Everyone sees the success of the IPod and thinks you need a hard disk to be successful," he says. "But with a hard disk there is no opportunity to publish [prerecorded content]. Everything has to be downloaded."
Looking ahead, DPHI is also working on a 2GB version that is expected to be available in late 2005 or early 2006, says Davies. Further ahead still, the company is considering a blue-laser-based version that will be able to hold 7GB of data.
We agree! No one should ever put any credence on what they are told by posters on this 'hub.'
Dear poster: AS YOU SAID: "Are people supposed to just take it on your word???
Obviously that is what you expect."
Time marches on, but some things never never change.
Subscription downloads only - quoted on that site: "PVR2GO makes a PVR subscription even more attractive and valuable to the end-user, as well as extending revenue opportunities for the operator – it’s a win-win proposal. This new device will also help operators take on new competitive threats coming from illegal peer-to-peer downloading and gaming devices capable of storing content downloaded from the internet.”
Everything new is old again.
Motorola and Apple Bring iTunes® Music Player to Motorola’s Next-generation Mobile Phones
ROSEMONT, IL and CUPERTINO, Calif – 26 July 2004 -- Motorola, Inc. (NYSE:MOT) and Apple® (NASDAQ: AAPL) today announced they are partnering to enable millions of music lovers to transfer their favorite songs from the iTunes® jukebox on their PC or Mac® , including songs from the iTunes Music Store, to Motorola’s next-generation 'always with you' mobile handsets, via a USB or Bluetooth connection. Apple will create a new iTunes mobile music player, which Motorola will make the standard music application on all their mass-market music phones, expected to be available in the first half of next year.
“We can't think of a more natural partnership than this one with Apple, the brand synonymous with easy-to-use, legal music downloading, and Motorola, the innovator in mobile technology,” said Ed Zander, chairman and CEO, Motorola. “Being able to transfer songs you’ve purchased from iTunes to Motorola mobile handsets expands the market reach for both of us and drives new revenue for customers, delivering an amazing music experience to millions of wireless users.”
“We are thrilled to be working with Motorola to enable millions of music lovers to transfer any of their favorite songs from iTunes on their PC or Mac to Motorola’s next-generation mobile phones," said Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO. “The mobile phone market -- with 1.5 billion subscribers expected worldwide by the end of 2004 -- is a phenomenal opportunity to get iTunes in the hands of even more music lovers around the world and we think Motorola is the ideal partner to kick this off."

FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 2004
(SAN DIEGO, CA. – June 28, 2004) – e.Digital Corporation (OTC: EDIG) today reported revenues for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 (the Company’s fiscal 2004) totaled $3,418,180, a 32% increase over fiscal 2003 revenues of $2,597,363.

The Company reported $687,397 or a 21% gross profit on revenues in fiscal 2004 compared to a gross loss of $899,695 in fiscal 2003.
“We believe fiscal 2004 marked a turning point for e.Digital as we increased our revenue and profit margin and significantly lowered our losses while enhancing our proprietary technology platforms,” said Fred Falk, president and chief executive officer of the Company. “This is directly attributable to the dedication and hard work of our engineering team lead by Atul Anandpura and increasing original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) and original design manufacturer (“ODM”) demand for customized solutions of our MicroOS™-based technology platforms.”
Falk added, “We made good progress in fiscal 2004, working with our customers, partners and business associates on the release of products based on our wireless technology platform (Softeq, Hewlett Packard and Walt Disney World Resort), our personal video technology platform (APS, 20th Century Fox, DivXNetworks, DMX, Ittiam, and Alaska Airlines), and our personal audio technology platform (Gateway). We expect continued revenue growth in fiscal 2005 through further orders and new releases of OEM/ODM-branded products based on our proprietary technology platforms.”
“We will release information on business and technology developments as well as provide additional revenue guidance in early July,” concluded Falk.
Been gone for long vacation. Looks like same old same old. Anything new in last 4 weeks?
To much fun with GNTA - all eyes are on Monday so lots of short and other action between now and then. Have some fun, check it out.

Unless the contract documents require arbitration (something that is quite common now)! IF the contract documents provide for arbitration of the dispute, that is where it will be venued and objections to the court will fall on deaf ears.

Either this is good news or not.
Good because we will not have the rancor caused by the posts.
Bad if the real reason is the continued downward spiral of EDIG.

Another Ted/Digeplayer article in Inflight-Online
A shortened version of what we saw before, but the more publications it's in, the more aware people become, imo.

Ted trial for APS handheld IFE
March 12, 2004 - TED, the United Airlines low-fare carrier that entered service on February 12, has begun testing the APS digEplayer handheld IFE system (“Inflight Online” February 12).
The airline is gauging customer reaction with a view to renting the device to its passengers. Ted already offers TedeVision, pre-loaded programming delivered on overhead monitors, but is looking for a way to compete more effectively with the 24 LiveTV channels available aboard the aircraft of fellow low-cost carriers Frontier and JetBlue. A handheld solution would be much less costly for than installing and offering live TV, according to Ted VP Sean Donohue.
The carrier started offering digEplayers two weeks ago on flights between Denver and Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Passengers “liked the content and liked being in control,” says Donohue. Feedback on the $10 price “was rather neutral,” so Ted may test a lower price in the next few weeks to see if demand increases.
The first carrier to put digiEplayer into regular service was Seattle-based Alaska Airlines, which has been offering the device for $10 per transcontinental flight since November and committed to a 6,000-unit buy last month.
With a 7in screen, 6hr battery and 20Gb hard drive, digEplayer can hold up to 30 full-length films.

From a friend of mine who asked for an update on the IFE, who flies on a different airline. The message is more positive.
''Currently Alaska Airlines is the only one that is officially using our player. However, we are working with a lot of other airlines to buy our product. You will soon be seeing the digEplayers coming out on many different airlines. Thank you for your interest in the digEplayer, we look forward to you using it soon.''
