Owed"...Sure you can spew off volumes of NEGATIVES about this company. Some here have made a "life" of it, and you know who they are. And, yes you can be "Objective" about it too...
But, I ask, who wants to read about what frustrated investors have to say, while venting their spleen on these boards, about an investment decision that did not happen exactly within their time frame, and according their expectations....
People come to these boards to share DD about EDIG. They do not relish being told day in and day out how stupid they were, by some "superior intellect" seeking self agrandisement through preaching how everyone else was "duped" in falling for such an investment. And it makes no difference if you are
"Logical" about it either.

HH...I telephoned Fujitsue offices in Torrence this afternoon, and after going through three layers I was put in touch with a "supervisor" in the "Sales Department"...
I complained that since CES 2003 I had sent them several e-mails inquiring when the HD-1213 would be made available, and where I could buy one, and they were all ignored. I then asked could he please give me an answer, or should I write the CEO of Fujitsue in Japan and complain...
He turned apologetic quickly, and then he said all he could do was to give me couple of phone numbers of Good Guys outlets in the San Francisco Bay Area, and I should call them and ask when they would be selling the products...
I intend to do so tomorrow morning and will post anything significant...
Regards...Gilgamash...
notechie: I appreciate the "Plaintive" commentary of your post. Such is the plight of most "Longs" who have been with this stock for 4-5 years...
Just consider the following two "facts" and "let it ride" for a while longer without pinning your hopes on any "wished for time table"...
1) When EDIG was "all talk and no action" you got PRs left and right. Now that they are actually having OEMs and Products, you can't get a peep out of them, and THAT IS A FACT..
2) The success of EDIG had always been dependant on the availability of "Content", whether it was music or movies. It is just recently that we have seen "content" being made available in ever increasing degrees, and THAT IS THE SECOND FACT...
There are those who would read their tea leaves and tell you that Dell being a Creative product, and Samsung not being an 0-1000 clone, when added to EDIG being "Mum" as of late are a sign that the "Doors will be closed" soon.
Personally, I doubt that; and, I believe when news come it will be in a "torrent", and it will be significant...We simply know of too many projects in several developing markets that have already received "Committed" endorsement by significant forces such as HP, FUJITSU, DISNEY, DW, and few others...
Good luck to you...

RR...As I sit facing you,(Lol), I am making money already on a lot of shares of this stock. And I intend to be filthy rich on it...
May be even buy one of Arnold's suits for ff...Lol...
Remember rule (1)? You have "free shares", then add to them all the way down to $.125 cents, using "profits" you made trading other stocks such as SMSI, WAVX, MKTY, ARIA, INTC, ADI, INCY, and so on. You end up sleeping well at nights...
Bear in mind that any "Rules" pronounced by others, including those I listed, have to fit your particular situation. There is no such a thing as a "Gospel Rule". It all depends on what works for you. And in my situation those rules work for me...

The man is certainly "driven", and I do not begrudge him his wealth, or his lifestyle. The important question is will he be a better governor than Gray Davis?...On that question I am still undecided...

ff...That is a very interesting article...
Essentially says what I have been repeating for couple of years...
1) Edig is a "Gamble"...
2) Decide how much you can loose, and put it in the stock...
3) Allow couple of years, plus couple of more for the "Tech Bust" recession, to see if it can "deliver" on its promises.
4) At the point you have "doubled",(or if you are greedy), tripled your money, sell enough shares to end up with a bunch of "Free Shares", and cash out at a point when you feel you have made "enough"...
Seems, we are past the first 3 points. The company is "grabbing Hold" of good developing markets, and soon will start gapping up. We, the longs, should be concentrating on reigning in the "Greed factor" the article alludes to, and concentrate on the last point.
Regards...Gilgamash...
P.S. By the way, in your capacity as an assistant moderator, I thought your were doing a great job. If Arnold can grope women and run for Governor, you certainly can have an outburst and remain as an assistant moderator...Lol...
ff...
When you make such "Catagorical statements", and they are supported by a "Ditto" from chwder, it leaves no room for "discussion", does it?...Whatever...

Hi Lois...Good to hear from you again. Are you still in the Carolina, or back in Oregon?...
I always thought if you hung around a barber shop long enough, you are apt to join a barber shop quartet and become rich and famous...Lol...
This quartet is about to hit pay dirt. We certainly have been "Practicing" long enough...Lol...

ff...This is very interesting post. Please state the specifics of why you considered this a "BUY" day? Oh, I bot some 50K @ .41 but am sure my reasoning is different than yours...
Give me your reasoning, and I will list mine. May be we can distill some common denominators...
Regards...Gilgamash...
Good for you Todd...
Just picked up 50 K @ .41...
Can't wait till it doubles in the coming weeks, just like the $.125 cent buys did...Lol...
Good luck and,

MOXA1. This is the scenario we have been waiting for, for 3 years.
A steady climb, accentuated by the release of news about OEMS, or new products being released in the markets...
The MMs start the day with 2-4 cents, test the highs around 6-8 cents and settle down with 3-4 cent higher close thanthe day before.
As the names of OEMS are released for 0-1000, and new Airlines are announced, this gradual increase should get us to $1 buck , and if we get Eclipse products released into markets, with its Toyota connection announced by SHM, it is by-by Cassandra and her ilk, and friendly will turn into an outright believer too...Lol...

That should squelch the impact day traders are having on this stock...

From Gilgamash
PostID 279517 On Monday, September 15, 2003 (EST) at 9:52:31 PM
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So I looked...
Aside from Yepp 900, which is still not available, here is a cell phone Samsung markets which has the ability to connect to internet, and functions as an MP3 player too...
Looking more and more like it is probable that the ''Biggy'' OEM who would not have trouble getting the 1.8 harddrives might be Samsung...
http://www.samsungusa.com/cgi-bin/nabc/prod/hhcommerce/telecommunications/uproar_features.jsp
Regards...Gilgamash...
The availability of 1.8 hard drive will make cell phones like the ones posted above, capable of doing much more, provided EDIG was there to function as the "Gate Keeper" for all that digital data streaming through a small device such as a Cell phone...
I say SAMSUNG is the mystery OEM...
Good luck to all...
Regards...Gilgamash...
Seedical...
Given another quarter or two of increased revenues; announcement of couple of OEMS,(one a "Biggie"), for 0-1000; announcement of Eclipse hitting the markets; and, a positive picture of the Holiday Sales, and Eclipse-Toyota connection by the SHM, and your $5 wish may come true...
The problem is the "Traders" who inundate these boards. They have to be "nutralized" by a combination of positive news, and reports of solid increased revenues before we will see those numbers for pps. And that you can bank on...
Good Luck to you...

friendly; Here is what you said...
"Gilga, basically what hes saying is that they are selling the units to the airline(s) rather than doing it on a rental basis. Now the unit has to be successful in order for aps and edig to sell more units or this will be a one shot deal. I want to see increased sales of 0-1000s and at least one of the oems that they've been in "advanced negotiations" with for the last 10 years."
There is no "modifier" of "It feels like it" in your statement...
Your statement, "I want to see increased sales of 0-1000 and at least one of the oems that they have been in "advanced negotiations" with for the last 10 years" is unequivocal.
You can't make such categorically false statements, and then three days later say I meant to say it feels like it has been like ten years, after you have been questioned on it.
How many such statement have you made in the past? And have you pondered what effect they have had on your readers, especially now that you are a "LEADER" of this board...
Pure hyperbole my man, and you had better tone it down...Lol...
REgards...Gilgamash...
OZ...
Hyperbole is ff's forte...
This is the same guy who wrote EDIG has been trying to get an OEM for 10 years, or something like that. And, when I questioned him he ignored it and did not a post for few hours.
And, now he asked "what is bothering you," or something like that, and when I responded they deleted my 2 posts...
Simply not kosher...

GOTCHA!!...
Actually, Andy Grover wrote the Only Paranoid survive. And, you recommended that book to me three years ago...
It is in that book, that there are several Chapters on the merit of farming out work to "leaner and smaller" companies that can do things much faster than big companies that are reduced to a snails pace of doing things because of being straddled with "corporate Cultures" which stifle innovation.
I guess you read the book so long you forgot its lessons...Lol
SMILE...

You are right...Mas is the Big Shark, and they can swallow 50 Boyers and not even burp...
But, what makes you think MAS won't approach EDIG to work with them...
Microsoft, Intel, HP, all the Biggies do this all the time...
You know that. INNOVATOR'S DILEMMA, by Andy Grover. He has couple of chapters in there...

First you make a statement that EDIG has been negotiating for 10 years with OEMS for O-1000??, which your side kick Hollywood Hills, promptly raises to 100 years,( I am waiting for 1000 years next, come on Cassie!!, won't you oblige?}, and then you come up with the following jewel?!!...
"Gilga, one word........... Expect. Any statement from edig containing that word loses credibility immediately. (And I aint putting an imo in that one)"...
Now, I know what the Board Rules say, but come on fred!?, that is no way to have a serious dicourse, is it?...
SHEEESH???...Lol...Lol...

The e-mail from RP that I posted in my last post essentially had three sentences, each carrying a separate thought.
I have broken them down for you here...
"Thank you for your e-mail, xxxx.
(1)We have negotiated substantial up-front per-unit royalties that are paid upon the purchase of the IFE products.
(2)We also expect to generate recurring revenue for IFE product repairs,replacements and refurbishments as well as further IFE orders.
(3) New content will be supplied (refreshed) through entities specified by the content providers."...
Can you please explain what you think of the (2) sentence?...
Regards...Gilgamash...
friendlyfred...
Latest from RP on revenues from the IFE:...
Seems prettey clear that the more Airlines are signed on the more the revenues...

If one is intelectually honest, one has to admit to the fact that many of longtime shareholders have shifted gear to being traders in this stock...
That being said, it is clear that unless we get another PR confirming an order from UNITED, or another Major Airline, the PPS is back to the 30's, or as low as they can take it...
Personally, I do not fault them. The wait has been too long, and has generated enormous stress on people and their families...I wish them all the best of luck in their "Trading", and if they manage to take down the pps to 12.5 cents, I will buy another baot laod...

Some thoughts on who gets credit for DigEplayer...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Local Paper gets to write up a story about a local Boy based on Op-Ed info fed to them by Local companies, (Alaska Air, and APS)...
So, why is everyone ''Making like Cassie'' and making it sound like EDIG blew it...
Hog Wash...
The real story is in the EDIG PR, read it...Plus, (1) EDIG gets $200 for each units; (2) Edig name is on the unit; (2) Edig gets paid for servicing and maintenance of the units; and Edig can make the units in other formats for whomsoever they choose to contract with...
Fred was right to gush over the IFE during the last CC. This is the sweetest deal EDIG has executed on thus far.
Regards...Gilgamash...
THAT IS THE SIGNAL...
We are getting a PR...

Thanks Tin.

Best this decision you made, to get friendly and Todd as co-assistants...
Now, we can hope for some semblence of civility, and a focus on EDIG "NEWS", and quit the rehash of past failures...
I beleive it was Trend who pointed out that this stock has gone from the $.125 cents to $.54 now, just by the purchases made by the community that makes up these boards. Then he asked, imagine what would happen if the other 99.99999% of the potential stock buyers knew of it and bought its shares?...
And, there is where the collection of the "SMART" people who are present investors can help with "Promoting" this stock. But first, we must, collectively, get over the bitterness of the past three years...
You have a good site, and now have put the peaces together to get it to be the premier site...
Good luck...

Besides, what the NAYSAYERS seem to forget is that the demise of the Retail sales with "Exponential Growth", meant the company went "Back to The Furture", which was looking for OEMS to brand its technology and sell it, while the company was counting the dollars on the way to the bank...
APS fits that PLAN to a TEE...
THINK GLOBAL. Samsung,Nokia,Ericcy, etc, all use Qualcom technology, and none of the cell phones says that fact in bold letters on them. Qualcom could care less, so long as the Royalties keep pouring in...
Good luck to us all...

Yes...Such is the making of great tech companies...
HP started in a garage. The Packard home, where it started, is saved as a Historical place in San Jose.
Apple started in a Dorm Room, Intel was started in the basement of old Fairchild Semicondoctor company, and Creative was started in a broken down warehouse in the BaY View Disrict of San Francisco, where I bought the first sound card they made for a 286 computer I bought for my kids in the 80's...
Good Luck...
