Ms. TorF\Cassandra......If it is not to much trouble, please be sure to add that this is your opinion. All you have to do is add IMO at the end of your post and everyone will know that this is your opinion and may not be fact at all.
Somewhat off-topic, but interesting read......
-SAN FRANCISCO (CBS.MW) -- Individuals are itching to get a piece of the rally that has driven prices of small-cap stocks 18 percent higher in the past three months.

Micro-cap companies, those penny stocks that are far off Wall Street's radar screen, have done even better this spring, in many cases doubling and tripling in value.
For many of the smallest companies, the rush to purchase risky securities has been a boon, bringing new shareholders to replace the ones that owned shares at far higher, Internet boom prices.
"There are so many stocks out there that people used to own at $20 or $40, or more, and now they're saying, 'Well, this company has far greater revenue, its expenses are cut in half, and it's defending its position in its industry,' " Douglas McIntyre, chief executive of video software maker On2 Technologies (ONT: news, chart, profile), told me Wednesday morning.
"Oh, and its stock is a buck, or two bucks," said McIntyre, whose On2 traded as high as $40 after a 1999 initial public offering. On2, which is developing video-on-demand software for chipmakers such as Philips and Texas Instruments, has shares that sell for less than $1.
The so-called micro-caps and nano-caps -- with market caps less than $100 million -- are causing investors to turn their heads toward an arena once given up for dead: highly speculative, cash-hungry companies that could dominate their fledgling industries, if only they got that one contract that could put them in the big time.
For every company with a stock price that has doubled or tripled since the small-cap rally that began in March, there is at least one that has gone nowhere, or traded in a choppy fashion that would make the most seaworthy investor queasy.
McIntyre, speaking to me from New York, pointed to the shares of another video software company, Loudeye (LOUD: news, chart, profile). "Loudeye used to be, what, a $46 stock, and it sold for as little as 20 cents. At the low end of their historical trading ranges, individuals are starting to carve out a little piece of their portfolios to make room for survivors," he said.
Loudeye shares rose sharply this week when the company said it would provide digital media and distribution services for The Orchard, a distributor of non-major label music. Loudeye will encode, process and distribute more than 120,000 songs in The Orchard's music catalog. Loudeye shares now trade for $1.65, up 30 percent Wednesday morning.
"These guys have had news, but none of it with dollars attached since they reported their Q1 loss," says McIntyre. "They now have a market cap over $80 million. It's an interesting market again."
The ups and downs are not easy to tolerate for individuals.
Drug developer Amarin Corp. (AMRN: news, chart, profile), for one, is riding tremendous waves of both optimism -- over a pipeline of promising nerve-disorder drugs that could treat Parkinson's and Huntington's disease -- and pessimism, over increased generic-drug competition and the London/California company's need to raise capital.
Amarin shares, profiled in The Calandra Report, lost ground this week after the company reported a sharp drop in quarterly sales of its No. 1 product, Parkinson's treatment Permax. The stock drop came even though Amarin, a $30 million company that is on track to become a specialized marketer of nerve-disorder drugs in the United States, warned more than three months ago about the "substantial charge" it would have to take as it reviewed the Permax generic competition.
Such are the stakes for companies whose sub-$100 million stock-market values fluctuate wildly on news-driven price swings.
Still, the micro-caps in my view have plenty of room to run this year. Driving the group in part will be the 8 percent or so yearly growth of America's M3 money supply, a growth in cash supplies that will provide -- for better and worse -- steady liquidity for investor speculation.
In March, in The Calandra Report, I detailed a portfolio of small-cap companies that would benefit greatly from a springtime liquidity rally and the ability to reverse years of financial losses. I expect many of the newest additions to that small-cap and micro-cap list to add to their heady gains as they post quarter-to-quarter gains in profits and large increases in gross margins.
To be sure, I also must live with my pronouncement, made last year, that America's largest stocks would suffer from their bloated market values and a tepid economy. Large stocks, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, are lagging small-cap stocks (SML: news, chart, profile) by just two percentage points since early March.
In other words, the collapse of the Dow Jones Industrials giants has yet to take place -- as I was almost certain it would. For that, I must live with the consolation that America's smallest companies, including those in Canada, are off to the races, reflating the value of individuals' long-depressed holdings.
Are there still discounts to own in the world of the small? Yes. A featured stock on The Calandra Report Recommended List, Royce Micro Cap Stock Fund (OTCM: news, chart, profile), has gained 18 percent since first making the list at $8. Yet the closed-end fund, which specializes in manager Chuck Royce's careful selection of well capitalized but microscopic-sized companies, still trades at a 9 percent discount to its net asset value.
Royce's shares on Nasdaq Wednesday were selling for $9.50, $1.01 below the $10.51 net asset value of the fund posted by Nasdaq the night before. The discount has narrowed only slightly in the small-cap rally. The Royce trust, which pays quarterly dividends, buys shares of companies that are worth $400 million or less.

Why do you keep calling it an "emergency" webcast? Using the word "emergency" I guess would put a spin on it. Spin, spin, spin

So I got caught up in your "fire". Now what? Am I suppose to do something to get out of here? Guess I should have sent a pm to my fellow investors asking them to knock it off giving attention to someone/some people and give attention to the pr we received that day. Other than that, don't know of anything else that would cause me to be jail.
Please let me know how long I will be in here so I can let my kids know when they can expect their next home-cooked meal.

Question.....
Who is pulling the posts off of the edig board. tia
Tinroad,,,Just a question......
If we license from Lucent, couldn't we also license from Pronounced Technologies? Would it really matter?
If we have already shown what we can do with VR from one company, why not another?
Nice to be here!

Well, Sir, I have no reason to come here after your decision.
Thank you for what you have tried to do here.
Sad, first LGJ, who started this board with such good intentions and now you.

Did we see this article from CNET yet?
It was posted on the 12th but don't remember seeing yesterday.
-Senior editor, CNET Reviews
(2/12/03)
For more than a year now, Apple's iPod has been our favorite portable MP3 player. It's more expensive than the competition, but well-designed products usually are. Even more astounding than the iPod's popularity in this country is the fact that the device still enjoys a 42 percent market share in Japan a year after its introduction. What's so odd about this? Well, as anyone who has been to Tokyo can tell you, the Japanese marketplace is usually about six months to a year ahead of its American counterpart. From video cell phones to e-mail-retrieving robots, the Far East gets the new stuff while it's just a glimmer in a U.S. importer's eye. So if the Japanese are still buying more iPods than any other MP3 player, then maybe Apple has lapped next year's competition as well.
This is a nice theory, but from what we saw at CES last month, it's simply not true. Apple is facing loads of competition from multiple sources, thanks in part to the availability of a new generation of Toshiba 1.8-inch hard drives, which cost less per megabyte than the Hitachi drives used in the first round of iPods. Here are a few of the products that will probably give Apple's player a run for its money.
eDigital Odyssey 1000
The hard drive-based players that we've seen from eDigital--the Treo 10 and the Treo 15--seemed like the iPod's clumsy, awkward cousins, due to their large sizes and clunky interfaces. But the Odyssey 1000, as its model number suggests, is about 100 times better than eDigital's previous offerings. While the Odyssey's design clearly borrows from a certain all-white MP3 player from Cupertino, the 1000 has a few tricks up its sleeve that might cost Steve Jobs some sleep:
USB 2.0: eDigital claims a file-transfer speed of 8MB per second (we'll believe it when we see it) over this port, which is likely to be more accepted by Windows users than FireWire. Plus, the Odyssey is backward-compatible with USB 1.1.
20GB hard drive: eDigital plans on offering its model for more than $100 less than Apple's 20GB iPod.
Scroll wheel: The Odyssey's scroll wheel doesn't look enough like the iPod's to warrant a lawsuit, but it's very similar.
Voice recording, FM radio, and WMA compatibility: When the iPod originally shipped, these features were frills, but now that they're almost standard, Apple looks remiss by not including them.
Voice navigation: Using the built-in microphone, you can actually make verbal requests for the songs that you want to hear.
Doubles as a removable hard drive: When you connect the Odyssey to your computer, it shows up as a removable USB 2.0 drive.
Samsung YEPP 900
Samsung's YEPP line has been consistently decent, so when the company announced a hard drive-based player, we had a feeling that its offering would be something of a zinger. Sure enough, the YEPP 900 brings the goods on many fronts, with a wide range of recording- and FM-related features:
10GB hard drive: The 900's capacity is not huge, but it's certainly acceptable.
FM receiver/transmitter: How did Samsung fit one of these into such a small device? However the company did it, its inclusion means that you can play your MP3s on any radio within range, wirelessly.
USB 2.0: As a next-generation, hard drive-based MP3 player, this YEPP needs a fast connection, but due to copyright issues, Samsung might not allow the device to be used as an external hard drive.
Line-in recording/encoding: Connect any line-level analog source--such as a CD player, a stereo auxiliary output, or a powered microphone--to the YEPP 900, and it will encode the audio onto its hard drive in the MP3 or WMA format. This Samsung is the first player to record in two different codecs.
Digital Innovations Neuros
We've written extensively about this newcomer and will post a review soon. Besides holding 20GB of MP3 music, the Neuros takes FM-radio compatibility as far as possible; in fact, I can't think of any FM-related feature that it doesn't have. I haven't yet heard Samsung's YEPP 900 broadcast through a stereo system, but I've heard the Neuros do so with aplomb. Here are the player's main features--I think that the song-identification option is pretty mind-blowing:
20GB hard drive: You can also buy a 128MB flash backpack and swap the control console between the hard drive and the flash memory. For example, you can switch to the flash memory for jogging and use the hard drive while you commute.
FM reception, recording, broadcasting, and identification: Like the YEPP 900, the Neuros can receive FM stations as well as transmit radio signals to stereos. But you can also use this player to tag radio songs with the push of a button, then identify the tunes when you connect the device to your PC.
Two-way syncing: The iPod syncs to only one computer, but the Neuros syncs to multiple machines and transfers files from computer to player and back. The record labels won't like that, but consumers sure will.
Deltron Cinema Disk
We love the Archos Jukebox Multimedia 20, which lets you watch videos portably and listen to audio. The Deltron Cinema Disk takes a different approach, functioning as a dedicated video display and storage device that can be used only with a television. A remote control and an S-Video connection sweeten the deal. The Cinema Disk also has some pretty impressive digital-photo capabilities. If you regularly download movies from the Internet or need to provide portable video for professional reasons, you'll be all over this player. The Cinema Disk is not coming to a theater near you--it is a theater near you. Here are a few key reasons why movie fans might choose this gadget:
20GB, 40GB, or 60GB capacities: Video takes up more storage space than audio, thus the massive 60GB option.
S-Video connection and remote control: The Archos isn't a slick device, but the Deltron is literally ready for prime time.
CompactFlash slot: Digital photographers will appreciate being able to dump photos onto the compact Deltron while on the go.
Apple iPod (20GB, 30GB, 40GB): Faster file transfers and larger buffer (for better battery life)
Ironically, the biggest iPod killer of them all could be Apple's next-generation models. Apple rumor sites have been abuzz with talk of new iPods shipping within the next month or so, containing Toshiba's new 1.8-inch drives in 20GB, 30GB, and 40GB flavors. Evidently, these drives will help prolong battery life while increasing file-transfer speeds. Rumor also has it that the new breed of iPods will look the same as the old models but will perform better. Here's why:
Same top-notch design: Although several of these upcoming hard drive players will be as small as the iPod, the jury is still out on whether they'll be as user-friendly. Apple's ace in the hole might be its award-winning design.
Larger capacities: With 40GB of space and a faster connection, people will be more likely to use the iPod as a second hard drive.
New wish-list item
A few months ago, I posted a column listing the features that my dream MP3 player would have, and you responded with your own ideas. The above products include some of my wish-list items, but while writing this article, I thought of one more. Since so many players have an external microphone for voice recording, how about building a noise-cancellation system into the device? If the microphone sampled the outside noise--such as sounds from a subway, a bus, a plane, or other consistent sources--the device's processor could attenuate those frequencies in the audio signal the same way that noise-canceling headphones do.

Matt this is my first and most likly my only post on this matter.
IMO, it is very, very simple. You have named your site Investors Hub and that should say it all. At least I was led to believe that meant it was a place where people who have invested their money in a company could come share some dd and discuss their investment.
If a person, such as FakeorFiction, or whatever name she is using here, says outright that she holds no investment in a company, then why should the investors have to put up with this.
What is this site, for investors or not?

I wasn't trying to be rude in my reply to Sent.....I really thought that type of question should be asked of the company. Maybe some poster here does know the correct answer and could answer him. But I hate to see "guesses" put out and they later someone quotes them as fact. That's all.
Best to You~
ucansee.....
Witch, um, mean which board is she posting on here? Where are you reading these from?
tia
Sentinel......
I really don't know why you would even ask for a comment from a message board when I know, you know, a subject as this one is should be asked of the company. What is the point?
Best to you
Just my two cents on the matter....
For some time I keep seeing posts day after day about the share price and when it is going to move. IMO, it has very little to do with what they do or don't announce. Sure, it may move up a little on good news but it might not even hold that.
Again, IMO, it has much more to do with the state of affairs with Iraq and North Korea, (which scares me to death). When you see major corporations that come out with some very positive news and or earnings, even trading at some beaten down share price, and they only get a small pop, that has to be telling you something.
So much money is out of this market and will stay out until not only the economy shows true signs of a turn around but until the war issues have been resolved. At this point, the share price, has very little to do with EDIG, or RP, or FF and will stay that way for some time.
Been here a long time, not going anywhere, and not kidding myself. Still believe in my investment, but feeling very uneasy with regards to world affairs.
Best to All~

I can only tell you I have and used often the O 200. It is an A plus unit IMO. It also has an FM radio in it that you can record direct (in Wave, I think) direct to the player. I love it. I also have the 0 300, just came the other day but haven't fooled with it yet.
Best~
Mr. BlackDog,
No, I don't know why. You know, if so much fuss wasn't made about this one player, I wouldn't think it would matter much.
But that was, I thought, an important feature. Maybe because our business plan flipped back again.
I see the old stand-by voice recorders are gone from the website and only the O line is listed as voice recorders. Think I'll send an e-mail and see if any are hanging around in the office.
I needed one for a gift, a simple voice recorder.
I just thought about last year seeing the MXP 100 on an early show on NBC. Ahhh, that was nice!
Way to many thoughts going on with me today!
Just a thought about 0 1000
I am very sorry they have changed the spec's about Mac and drag & rip. From the July pr:
-The Odyssey 1000's high-speed USB 2.0 connection and remarkable ease of use make downloading and transferring music a breeze. With the Odyssey 1000's USB 2.0 connection, users can transfer an entire CD to their player in about 5 seconds. And e.Digital's Drag ‘n Rip technology enables users to transfer music in one easy step simply by dragging tracks directly from a CD directory onto their player's hard drive. Drag ‘n Rip optionally enables users to create a mirror library of music on their computer. The Odyssey 1000 also is compatible with Mac iTunes TM.
---------
IMHO to change this at this stage of the game is a mistake. Again, just my thought on the matter.
(My 0 300 came today)
