anbdpm...AN IBTERESTING POST...
Can you locate and post the "Specs" on the TI DSP which is listed in your post please?...
A Texas Instruments TMS320DSC-21, a dedicated digital-imaging DSP engine, handles coding and decoding for MP3, MPEG-4 and JPEG. An external camera option for the Archos presses the TI part into additional service for still and video acquisition.

Do you know if they are up and running, and what is the site?

Are you saying the MMs who employee the bashers, have taken over "funding" of RB?...
It was strange that RB was shut down for a few days last week, and when it started again, all "ignored" bashers were on in full force, and the star system of "rating" was abandoned too so as they could meld into the crowd...
Now, you and berg get warnings while the dribble by the bashers goes unchecked...
As some one suggested here, all the legitimate shareholders should leave that board and let the bashers entertain themselves...

DON...u got me...Lol...

The best sentence in the article you posted was...
Eventually, experts say, reference designs will dominate the marketplace in many or all sectors--not just cell phones.
That is whre EDIG is going...
Regards...Gilgamash...
OZ...YOU FORGOT THE THIRD GROUP...
The ones who fell pray to incescent bashing on these boards, losing all reason and logic, they sold at a great loss, and joined the bashers hoping they could drive the pps down further, and buy back at yet lower prices...
Poor saps, thinking they could make money in the market by shorting an OTC BB stock at 10000 shares a time...
Regards...Gilgamash...
db24...Of course you are right in posing the questions...
But, it would be useless to ask those stressed out and venting their spleen on these boards, to look at issues objectively...
Almost all of this will be meaningless in a quarter or two. And, when Professor Christensen writes his sequal to "Innovator's Dilemma", he most certainly will have a chapter or two about EDIG in it...

jtdiii...REPONDING TO DABOSS' POST, YOU SAID...
I still say the lacking ingredient is also an "aggressive, marketing oriented management team with a proven history of successful execution of an emerging market business plan.",
Implying that management of EDIG somehow could have been more
aggressive in marketing their products...
I take issue with you on that. The bane of any small new comany, trying to make headway in a highly cometetaive market has always been lack of Capital first. And, we all know how disasterous that picture has been in the past 2.5 years...
They did try to be "aggressive", as you would like them to be,
and they ended up paying their lawyers with Shelf stock...
No sir, DABOSS is right. You cannot be aggressive if do not have the tools to be aggressive with...
As to your comments regarding "MISHA LIKE" hear no evil/see no evil approach of some of the longs on this board, suffice it to say if you stripped yourself of PACKERs' type of emotion, and looked on how hard the management tried this past year to "Placate" guys like you, you will have to admit they tried their best to market their poducts on a shoe string, and had to retrench to avoid fates that befell DATA PLAY and others who borrowed big and had to file Chapter 11...

DABOSS...NICE POST, BUT WASTED...
For some reason it raised the picture of a "Liberal" Berkeley lawyer preaching to a KKK meeting, about to set a cross on fire on a black family's lawn, about fundementals of Bill of Rights and Constitutional gurantees...
Most of your audience here has been infected with the same bacteria of shortsightedness pervasive at RB. As Gobels would say, you throw enough mud, some of it will stick...
At this juncture, I glance these sites for some nice DD still done by the likes of D.inkie, emit, doni, and so on...
Otherwise, it is "ignore City" for all people with blinders on...

moxa1...Sorry, by CES 1, I meant CES 2000...
That was the first CES I attended...
Regards...Gilgamash...
moxa1...Such has been the case since day one...
I agree with you, and the company,(RP), has said this time and again, responding to questions asked of him...
I recall way back in CES one, AUDIVOUX engineers telling us that when they decided to make an mp3 player, they could not get past it playing MP3 and WMA files only...
As the issue was discussed to use MOS to get a multi codec player, their "Front Office" nixed the idea of paying royalty to EDIG per unit to make a multi codec operational player...
RP has said, as recently as few days ago, that MOS is not needed in having MP3 players that play MP3 and WMA file only.
You are right, MOS will shine when digital data tranmission gets more complicated, like vidio, or "Security" is demanded.
In the meantime, it would be logical to assume that EDIG will be "Helping" every Tom-Dick-&-Harry who wantS to rush to market with a cheepo widget to cash in on the Holiday sales, irrespective of the fact that it shall become obsolete in short order...
All these companies are potential "Customers" of EDIG for the more "Complicated " devices, as is the case with Musical per RP...
Regards...Gilgamash...
Tenderloin...With all due respect...
That really hurts coming from a long and serious investor like you...
I could expect such a flip comment from Techhunter, and/or his basher friends, but from you???
Here is what Duke's post said...
"Question: RP told me recently that...
Musical and EDIG were working on several products and projects yet, they're not listed as a partner or client."...
Knowing what you know, a reasonable reply to that querry could have been, Musical got help from EDIG to make the MP3 player "CLASSIC" for Circuit City, in exchange for all these projects they are working with EDIG on now...
I appologize, but I guess I am getting jaded with all these remarks based on negative inferences...
Regards...Gilgamash...
jonthezman...And that is precisely why they got JC to stay on even after change of direction, away from retail business...
He will be instrumental in expediting delivery of units to retailers for the "Customers" who "Brand" 0-1000...
It is a win-win situation...

DID HY-TECH PRODUCE A LINUX BASED TREO?...NOT...
Hi-Tech's "...on going design issues", turned out to be that they could not provide Hang-O a letter of credit so as Hang-O would "Design-make" the Treo's for them...GRIN...
Regards...Gilgamash...
ramteacher...Thank you for the post...
I first bought into EDIG in October 0f 1999...By CES 2000, they had a model of TREO, and it was to be produced by Hy-Teck and hit the market in March of 2000...
From Hy-Tech, to Data Play, to TI and others, they all had heard of EDIG, and were planning to use its technology in one way or the other...That is the sign of an "Industry Standard" as you aptly observe...
Hy-Tech could not get a letter of credit to have Hang-O make the TREO units for them, and DATA PLAY could not raise another $80 million to avoid bankruptcy. These were all a function of the drian of capital from equity markets during these past 2 years, and not because Hi-Tech, or Data Play "...seem to be getting along just fine without our technology."...
Portal Player, ACTEL, Divex, TI, and few others you can list, still "...openly endorse our technology as a requirment for their becoming successful."...
I know, I know, that does not qualify EDIG at present as an "Industry Standard." But, such are the facts...
This gorilla is still a cuddly baby, and the bananas required for its growth to full size, (content), are just being made available...GRIN...

Hi murryhill...
You of all people, I would expect to hold to the notion that ultimately all things are an "Oxymorn". There is nothing that is "Absolutely True." Everything is relative...
For now, however, I would say three levels of incription are as "secure" as it can get...
Regards...Gilgamash...
ramteacher...
I share your "Pain", but, I try not to allow it to cloud my judgment when it comes to stocks...
You sound like an intelligent person, and believe me when I say I would value greatly any honest answer you can give me to the following questions...
But first, promise me you will try hard to set your "emotions" aside...
1) How long did it take for Microsoft, or Qualcom to become the "Global Standards" they are today?...
2) Did either go through $7 trillion dollars withdrawl of funds from equity markets, as EDIG has been through these past 2 years?...
Regards...Gilgamash...
judodog...I stand corrected...
It has been a long time that I have read any TF posts. I caught her in an out right lie on RB, and I put her on ignore.
But, you may be right...The prose of this person I have on ignore here, does immitate her style...

Blackdog6...That's the way I see it...WOOF...
And, BTW, MISHA does visit this Board...

Rp responded to an e-mail regarding Apple suing EDIG because of the "similarities" between 0-1000 and I-Pod...
That could not be any older than June-July of this year...

hollywoodhills...Lol...
Your observations are well stated. Especially, the litigation and "Bodily Harm." part...Lol...
That said, read my post before this one...
Regards...Gilgamash...
jtdiii...WITH ALL DUE RESPECT...
Your post, read in the context of what you and others have been complaining about, ("Why doesn't EDIG tell shareholders the names of the 'customers' who have "Branded" versions of
EDIG products?"), renders your last post no more than circularity of reasoning...
If Portal Player delivers the platform for I-Pod, and you are told that, EDIG cannot be expected to tell its shareholders of that fact...
It is Portal Player that has to disclose that fact, and let you know that Mr. Jobs just ordered 1 million of Portal Player Platforms to go into his new I-Pods, which are Multi codec operational, and work with Windows, and Mac., and Linux...
Don't you remember RP saying that "...Sometimes, our best customers come from what are perceived to be our enemies!"
I hope this helps...

jtdiii...NO, YOU ARE NOT THE ONLY ONE...
All those people who sold at $.19 had come to the same belief...
But, the FOG is lifting, and what appeared as "WINDMILLS" in the haze are looking more real every minute...
As to why management has not told its shareholders any thing concrete as to the names of "Customers", remember the word NDA.
And NDA was explained to me this way. "Imagine you are the CEO of TOSHIBA, or SAMSUNG, or MATSUSHITA, and you are at the BOARD meeting telling the BOARD you spent $100 million to produce a product and bring it to market, but it was made by EDIG and EDIG name written all over it. What would be the Board's response?"...Probably, you would be ordered to commit Hari Kiri...That is why NDA's are vital...
Regards...Gilgamash...
Don...WE ARE ON SAME WAVE LENGTH ON ALL POINTS...
The point of my post was to express the "HOPE" of getting few PRS confirming a list of "Customers" who are "Branding" 0-1000 for this Holiday Season...
"World Standard" will come in due course (2-3 years down the line.)...
For now, to get the pps of this stock moving, what we need is for the cash registers to ring...
Regards...Gilgamash...
D.inkie...Cute...Cute...
If you ever come across one of those buy it...I will have Digital Way put an EDIG enabled Portal Player Platform in it, plus "drag a rip" and call it Phonix-100 by EDIG. THEN YOU CAN ADD IT TO YOUR LIST...Lol...
Don't you think it will a good center piece to a sound system?

I have already said I am technologically challenaged, but...
Gentlemen: Please explain: Can we have a clone of Mxp-100 that has all the MXP-100 characteristics, but is flash based, instead of IBM discs?...
Also, moxa1, correct me if I am wrong; but, I thought Edig helped with making of "platforms" such as Portal Player's, and not produce their own (at least thus far, there is no such a thing as EDIG platform announced.)...
Thank you in advance for your reply...

The music master looks like a clone of MXP100 that is in your post that follows...
Would you say its is "Branded" version of MXP-100?...
Boy the "Branded" units are popping out all over...

I was intriqued by the list of Harware Partners of mentor graphics...
A great many big names in the DSP manufacturers were there. The one I liked the best was ADI...
I know for a fact they committed their resources to go big in the manufacting of DSPs which would be used in handheld devices, with especial emphasis on "Game" devices for present...
They bought stoccoto syestems couple of years ago, and they have positioned themselves to become the premier sound system DSP manufacturers, which should be a major blow to the pervsiveness of creative sound tools in the not to distant future...
I know your brilliant DD, showing the connectedness of all these companies, and how EDIG is right in there, will confuse a lot of small minded bashers resident of these Boards...
But, in time, it shall all come to pass...
We are seeing the proverbial "Tip of the Iceberg"...
As some one said earlier,"CAN YOU SAY "GLOBAL SANDARD?"

DON...The "Kernel" has been confirmed by the company...
The FPGA could be the "Recurring Roylaties" the company has told us with respect to IFE...
So, I don't see a "Secret" here...It could be both...
The "Kernel" seems to be the one that is in Portal Player Platforms which inhabit the bulk of the MP3 players out there.
O-1000 and its "Barnded" versions are the ones that will be RINGIN THE CASH REGISTERS first...
I say let both come...The more the better...
SHOW ME THE "BLAST OFF" again please...Lol...
Regards...Gilgamash...
Don...emit...et al...RE ACTEL PR RELEASED 11/29/02...
We are all aware of the ubiquitousness of MOS. And, we knew of the ACTEL-EDIG relationship...
If EDIG did a one time "JOB" for ACTEL to make whatever it is they are selling at $1995.00 work, that hardly is a CASH REGISTER RINGER at EDIG...
On the other hand, if we get "Recurring Royalty" on every ACTEL unit sold to OEMs who make the IFE devices produced for, let us say UNITED AILINES, then I could get excited about this PR...
In either case, my hope is that we would get PRS giving us the names of several "Customers" who have "Branded" 0-1000 and are marketing it throughout the world in great numbers...
That indeed, would be a great Christmass gift Don...

HELLO DON...ARE WE THERE YET?...Lol...
