Why didn't you say so earlier...Matt, I wholeheartedly apologize to you and Bob Z for causing you have to put me in jail, and wasting time that could be well spent improving this already great site for investors to congregate in. I got caught at an emotional moment and could not resist putting Cassandra, et. al, (non shareholders in a company I have been following for over 4 years) in her place. As a plea bargain, I will not respond to her repetitive posts of information and will only contribute in a positive manner to the board. I hope you accept this apology with the honesty and truthfullness that I offer it to you.
Liberate EDIG investors ! Saddam today, Matt tomorrow !
Yes.
Matt, what is the duration of this sentence ?
Matt, I guess this isn't a bad gig for a kid...
at least you're off the streets.
When you have the answer to my question, let me know.
And don't forget to move your clock forward one hour.
Matt,
"or serve your time"...
what time is it ?
Matt,
"or serve your time"...
what time is it ?
Derf, as I exhaust my daily allotment of posts, here is a random reaction to a typical post by cassy that somehow eluded Matt's...somehow everyone else see her posts as spam from a non investor...

Given the fact that you've only posted this about sixty times, NO, I haven't really thought about it!
When will you stop posting the same stuff over and over again? I understood your position on Edig after I read two of your posts. I have taken your information under advisement.
The horse is dead, you can put down your stick now.
Matt, interesting how you don't see her posts as off topic from discussion about ones investment...since she admits not owning the stock yet reposts endless mispresentation.
Do you not see something suspect of one who exists only to bash a stock on a chatroom specifically designed for investors of that investment ?
You two appear to have quite the relationship...a bit too close for objectivity perhaps.
Your net seemed to miss her...funny how that happened.
Matt, do I get a phone call ?
If your goal is to discourage investors from posting on the message board of the stock in which they are invested, yet let those with an agenda, who openly admit they have no position in the stock and gain nothing from 24/7 posting,(yeah, right) continue to post negativity, then your objectives and goals have been met.
The quality of the EDIG board is now at an all time low...
When moderators contolled the obvious bashers, the EDIG board grew in popularity. It appears now it is nothing more than a junior version of RB.
Great posts on the EDIG board today. IH Admin [Matt] 3/24/2003 9:53:33 PM (ET)
Maybe that net is not the most efficient method of cleaning house.
Matt, what's wrong now ?
...what gives now ?????
How many times has 'BUT' said EDIG will be out of business...4 years running ???
More very exciting products entering several NEW markets over the next two quarters.
The products/technology are real and attracting impressive companies/partners on new product ventures such as Hewlett Packard, a yet unnamed major airline, Bang & Olufsen and Fujitsu-Ten.
To call this a scam is irresponsible. The fact that EDIG is struggling to gain its foothold in several billion dollar markets is a reality and taking more time than probably first anticipated but they have survived a three year bear market and are looking at revenue growth for the next 6 months on top of some severe cuts in overhead.
How is that a scam ?
The scam is 24/7 bashing of a penny stock for some bogus altruistic reasons.
The present Eclipse website is their old website and the new one is under construction.
They are very excited about their new HDD 20 gig MP3 player coming out this summer...records right off the radio to the disk and will be available at THE GOOD GUYS retailers, as well as independent car stereo stores.
And Fujitsu Ten...ECLIPSE going live in '03 ???
"Our other OEM projects are progressing nicely. We recently received a sizeable letter of credit from Eclipse by Fujitsu 10 that will cover the manufacturing costs AND OUR PROFITS for the first 4000 units and as we mentioned in our last web cast they are expected to double their initial order to 8000 units based on the positive response from CES. Based on their forecast Eclipse expects to launch the product this summer.
Doesn't Fujitsu-Ten have 400,000 after market Eclipse units already in the consumers hands ???? That's the number I remember. A 4000 initial order, and mention of expectations for that to double...and a relationship with The Good Guys retailer ????
Will "THE" major airline implement its new portable In Flight Entertainment system in '03 ?
APS
APS (Airline Protective Systems, Inc.) and e.Digital are developing and marketing a portable, hard disk drive-based In-Flight Entertainment, or IFE, system under contract for a leading U.S. airline.
Major motion picture studios are expected to provide content for this device, making it the first portable IFE unit of its kind to be introduced to the airline and travel industry. The customizable digital video player will feature a variety of entertainment options, including movies, TV shows, and music from which the customer can choose.
The agreement between APS and the major U.S. airline calls for e.Digital to manufacture and sell the units through APS, a certified airline service and equipment provider. The companies are in discussions with other airlines and travel and leisure-focused industries to implement the system. For more information please see: E.DIGITAL, APS PARTNER TO DEVELOP AND MARKET PORTABLE, CUSTOMIZABLE ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM FOR MAJOR AIRLINE
Will the EDIG/Softeq/Hewlett Packard venture appear for the '03 holidays ???
Softeq
e.Digital and independent systems integrator Softeq Development Corporation have an agreement to partner on the development of new products for the digital audio market. The agreement paves the way for the companies to collaborate on the development of products using e.Digital’s patented MicroOSTM technology and applying its expertise in portable product design.
An early customer of the partnership is Hewlett-Packard, who is working with the companies to explore opportunities for future digital audio products.
For more information: www.softeq.com
Will Digitalway be ready for the '03 holiday season ?
And will they finally step up with their version of the Odyssey 1000 ???
Digitalway Co., Ltd.
e.Digital and Digitalway share a joint development and marketing partnership for the development and manufacture of portable digital products. Under this agreement, Digitalway markets e.Digital's Odyssey 1000 design under the MPIO brand name in Europe and Asia.
Digitalway is one of the largest digital audio player manufacturers in the world, with award-winning industrial design teams, a hardware/software R&D center, two manufacturing factories, and other administrative organizations including sales and marketing teams. Digitalway's technologies include portable music players, digital voice recorders, multifunction digital still cameras, MP3 encoders, and multifunction hybrid digital music devices. Digitalway has one third of the market share of all the MP3 players sold in the United States and Asia, and their strength as a major manufacturer not only minimizes costs but also affords us access to large OEM customers interested in the newest products.

MaryinRed, that's a good point. I have met with many EDIG investors over the years, mostly after the shareholders meetings.
Anyone here met any of the basher aliases in person ?
PPS is the market's perceived value of a company, and the criteria by which that value is determined changes, as we have witnessed. Should EDIG continue to make these target markets a reality with products like the Eclipse and IFE, not to mention wireless with Hewlett Packard, and Digitalway comes on board with their Odyssey 1000 version, added to increased demand for the website Odyssey 1000, EDIG could be trading at a 52 week high by the annual shareholders meeting, if not sooner,(although that won't take much of a move to do so considering that puts the stock back between .30 and .40.
how's that for a run on sentence ?
HotrodHans, her obvious motives need flushing out occasionally, due to the irrational obsession with a relatively insignificant company, in the grand scheme of things, especially considering the thousands of other embattled stocks suffering in this 3 year bear market.
I can assure you that when the time comes when I am divested from this investment, my time spent here will be minimal, if at all.
It just doesn't add up,
rr, a former owner spending her life trying to encourage investors to leave, which in turn leaves someone else holding the stock...maybe she just feels better knowing it went lower than her exit point so she wants to work every day to that end.
PING...
It still doesn't add up, but yes, this is American.
cass, you place little value on your time, apparently, if indeed we are to take your statement at face value.
It just doesn't add up in my book.
By the way, I have answered those questions repeatedly and am done doing so...and likely to one or more of your aliases or colleague's aliases.
Equator Technologies-from the partner page...
e.Digital developed a next generation, multi-codec, high definition, customizable video solution for OEM- branded home entertainment products. The solution incorporates Equator Technologies’ BSP-15 video centric system-on-a-chip video processor with e.Digital’s technology, design, and user interface.
Products incorporating the Equator SOC will feature the ability to play DivX, MPEG-4 video, Microsoft’s Windows Media Video, and/or traditional DVD formats, and will play motion pictures from a DVD or built- in hard drive. These products are expected to be marketed to consumers by various OEM customers and licensees. For more information please see: e.DIGITAL CORPORATION ANNOUNCES NEW OEM SOLUTION FOR MULTI-CODEC HIGH DEFINITION VIDEO DEVICES.
For information on Equator, see: www.Equator.com.
Cassandra, you say you don't short trade or play options, but do you work with, or for, others that do, such as a hedge fund or any other trading firm ?
Just curious as to your perceived value in relationship to the enormous amount of time spent here on just one company, which you claim no trading history. I would venture a guess that most here have some trading history with EDIG, present, past or future.
Do you spend time on the sblu chatroom circuit as well, or any other stock chatrooms, warning them day in and day out of their tremendous debt burden, competitive markets, lack of management buying in this market and potential bankruptcy ?
Interesting ! "Participants in the program include consumer-electronics companies, makers of embedded software, and chip vendors. Companies building DivX capabilities into silicon include Texas Instruments, Philips, Equator Technologies, and--as of today--Cirrus Logic. The latter company announced today that it will incorporate DivX decoding into its DVD player chips, a move it expects will result in DivX-enabled DVD players that retail for less than $149 by late this year."
w_w, very significant move on a few hundred shares, huh ? Oh, wait a minute, big surge back to .175...analyze that ! None of this is significant.

Gateway Touts Online Music
By Jon Healey, Times Staff Writer
Hoping to spark its flagging sales, Gateway Inc. is launching its most extensive promotional campaign to get consumers to buy new computers so they can copy and store music -- without violating copyrights.
The multimillion-dollar campaign launching today will include television commercials promoting Listen.com's Rhapsody service, the first time an online music service has been featured in a TV spot. Later this year, Gateway plans a large-scale effort to teach teens how to copy music legally.
Music-related activities have been "one of the top two reasons consumers buy PCs from us," said Gateway spokesman Brad Williams, so it made sense to focus on digital music.
Analysts say Gateway, which has posted $1.3 billion in losses the last two years, is on the right track.
"There's a segment of the population, as they get more into the whole idea of MP3 and digital online music in general, who look to upgrade," said Tim Bajarin of Creative Strategies, a technology consulting firm.
Many record label executives, however, have been suspicious of such efforts, contending that computer manufacturers have knowingly, and happily, profited from music piracy.
Apple Computer Inc., for example, drew brickbats from the labels for ads that urged consumers to "Rip. Mix. Burn," a slogan the Cupertino company eventually abandoned. And Gateway came under fire last April for running commercials urging consumers to download a song for free from its Web site and record it onto CD.
Gateway's new slogan, "RipBurnRespect," reflects its dual purpose of promoting consumers' rights to make personal copies of the songs they own without infringing on copyrights.
Although Gateway officials say piracy is bad for digital music, the record companies' efforts to combat piracy have left consumers confused about what they can legally do with a CD recorder, Williams said.
The company has launched a Web site, www.ripburnrespect .com, to provide instruction on downloading and CD recording, supply downloadable songs and explain the limits on legal copying.
Based in Poway, Calif., Gateway has posted seven consecutive quarterly losses.
As part of the new promotion, new computer buyers can pay $1 to receive a month of Listen's Rhapsody service and 50 songs from its catalog, as well as 100 free downloadable MP3s from EMusic, a San Diego-based unit of Vivendi Universal that specializes in independent labels.
Absent from the new effort is Pressplay, the online music service jointly owned by Universal Music Group and Sony Music Entertainment. Although Gateway has been offering computers loaded with songs from Pressplay, the offer has become embroiled in a licensing dispute with the National Music Publishers Assn.
Gateway shares fell 1 cent Wednesday to $2.34 on the New York Stock Exchange
My dear, APS already has a signed contract with a major air carrier which has generated EDIG revenues.
Your argument against is that someone at APS works for the airline industry and somehow his employment history is beneath you ? I didn't see you create any contracts with a major airline which are generating revenues.
There is no need for a basher to speculate as to information she does not have. Referencing the company website's FAQ page reveals the following updates and insights into this new arena for EDIG...
Q: Will the next series of players designed by e.Digital have both audio and video capabilities, or will they continue to be separate devices?
A: Our IFE system combines both motion picture and music content into one device. With APS we are currently working with motion picture studios and music providers to provide content for the IFE system. This is a closed system that protects their content and provides new revenue potential as well as a new channel to reach larger audiences.
Q: When will the IFE device be ready for the consumer market?
A: In the beginning, it will not be offered directly to consumers; it will be sold to the airline and travel industry. The first airline customer is contracted with APS, our marketing partner in this business relationship. The entire travel industry is being targeted for this system: cruise ships, car rental agencies, and hotels could all benefit from versions of our IFE system.
We view this as one of the major developments for e.Digital for this year and in years to come. Becoming part of the infrastructure that supports our IFE systems may generate multiple revenue streams for us.
Longer-term, we expect devices derived from our IFE system to be offered to the general consumer market.
Q: With regard to IFE, how many airlines is e.Digital currently working with?
A: Our relationship is with APS, who is our customer. They are working directly with airlines, and there is a contract in place with one major airline. However, we have been contacted by other airlines and travel-industry customers interested in our IFE system and we are pursuing these new opportunities with APS.
EDIG 0.175 +0.005 (+2.94%) DJIA 8229.88 -50.35 (-0.60%)
NASDAQ 1387.45 -3.56 (-0.25%)
SP500 869.95 -4.79 (-0.54%)
Big day in the market for day traders bashing penny stocks all day long...
LOL
IFE: "Revenues in the IFE industry are also predicted to skyrocket in the next decade. The total revenue of IFE in 2000 (including content, hardware, telecommunication and service revenue) is estimated to have been around $2.21 billion--a nine per cent increase from the previous year--compared with just $500 million in 1992, according to market research journal Screen Digest. Furthermore, Boeing estimates that the market for in-flight TV and Internet access will grow to $70 billion over the next 10 years.
IFE: "e.Digital has already received its first payment under the contract, and will receive revenue from non- recurring and recurring service fees plus licensing fees and royalties on each unit."
BMPSKR, regarding IFE,
"The first airline customer is contracted with APS, our marketing partner in this business relationship. The entire travel industry is being targeted for this system: cruise ships, car rental agencies, and hotels could all benefit from versions of our IFE system.
We view this as one of the major developments for e.Digital for this year and in years to come. Becoming part of the infrastructure that supports our IFE systems may generate multiple revenue streams for us.
And all that chatter about ID3 tags...lmao
"We will also offer optional and in some cases free firmware upgrades throughout the year that will include new features like ID3 tag support, book marking, and more."
Much ado about NOTHING !!!!!! AGAIN...
"Our other OEM projects are progressing nicely. We recently received a sizeable letter of credit from Eclipse by Fujitsu 10 that will cover the manufacturing costs AND OUR PROFITS for the first 4000 units and as we mentioned in our last web cast they are expected to double their initial order to 8000 units based on the positive response from CES. Based on their forecast Eclipse expects to launch the product this summer.
Our SoftTech Hewlett Packard project is also progressing very well. We’ve already delivered a functional prototype that was demonstrated to the final OEM customer and the response indicates that they were extremely pleased with our design and its performance.
We’ve recently received payments from SoftTech that covers our NRE fees and tooling which is the initial phase of manufacturing.
"The agreement paves the way for the companies to collaborate on the development of products using e.Digital’s patented MicroOSTM technology and applying its expertise in portable product design."
How many endless comments were made indicting the company's proprietary technology ?
Seems there continues to be added value to this company based on the proprietary technology, whether that is recognized at this moment in time in the market place or not.
Apparently Hewlett Packard sees some value here.
Odyssey 1000, ECLIPSE Fujitsu-Ten, IFE major airline, Wireless(Hewlett Packard),
worthy of investment dollars ??????
Don't look to chatroom posts to figure that out.
There is a company website (www.edig.com), an audio version of the company's latest webcast, and products to buy.
"...and anticipate that next month SoftTech will issue a letter of credit to us for over a million dollars"
That's a fairly short waiting period for more good news...
e.DIGITAL, SOFTEQ TO PARTNER ON DEVELOPMENT OF PORTABLE PRODUCTS USING WIRELESS PROTOCOL
Infrared-Enabled Products To Offer Enhanced Digital Audio Experience
(SAN DIEGO, CA - February 19, 2003) - e.Digital Corporation (OTC: EDIG) and independent systems integrator Softeq Development Corporation have entered into an agreement to partner on the development of new products for the digital audio market.
The agreement paves the way for the companies to collaborate on the development of products using e.Digital’s patented MicroOSTM technology and applying its expertise in portable product design.
An early customer of the partnership is Hewlett-Packard, who is working with the companies to explore opportunities for future digital audio products.
"This partnership is an example of HP’s strategy of working with innovative partners," said Robert Corbett, director for Retail Industry Solutions at HP. "HP believes that doing so will result in the development of exciting new products that provide consumers with simple and rewarding experiences by making technologies work better together. It will also allow retailers to provide a more satisfying environment for their customers, and facilitate better customer service."
e.Digital brings to the partnership broad experience in the design of portable products, proven, patented technologies and success in integrating such sophisticated technologies as infrared communications into portable devices.
"We have developed, enhanced, and integrated several technologies that have resulted in a number of exciting uses for digital audio technology," said Atul Anandpura, vice president of research and development for e.Digital. "Our experience and expertise complements the strong reputation that HP has for putting innovative technology into the hands of the customer."
Research into possible new products is already underway.
wrong cassandra,
This is what I stated...(and you obviously missed the point)
"Financing $2 million worth of manufacturing is the easy part for companies like Fujitsu-Ten. Development takes time. It is now time to tool up these products and begin the manufacturing process, filling the pipeline. The fact that the initial order has already been doubled indicates some market research on their part."
It was a discussion about financing new projects and taking them from the prototype stage to actual manufacturing.
Listening again to the webcast, he did state he expected the order to double, but that is not now the case. However, I would guess discussions have taken place which included the possibility of doubling the initial order, hence the statement which addressed this issue.
They must have great expectations for this new product line to not only be willing to extend a letter of credit but anticipate a doubling of this order in the future.
