Barge- I guess I'm a little confused in that it says HD "Streaming" and not caching. What am I missing??

TIA

A little Microsoft news that may apply to Wave.... I would think there is a better way....

Seagate CC - Wavoid4e...

Another place to check the CC is the transcript at SeekingAlpha.com. There might be some info about FDE's there. You probably could view that at work:)

Countryboy - Great thinking... Thanks for all your great posts. "'Downloading widgets' and a variety of services." It would certainly be nice if Wavexpress were involved.

Sorry about that...

Anyway, I thought it was a sign that we maybe closer to TC in mobiles.

Nokia in the news. I'm not sure why Tsunami07 didn't pick up the article re: Nokia and Visa and NFC. Thought it was interesting....

Mayer - Boeing uses exclusively Dell.....

AWK - Nothing really came out of CTIA this week. This mobile space has been moving pretty slowly when you consider that Brian Berger indicated trusted mobile phones were coming out soon back in April. Do you think Nokia's Tube maybe slated to come out Oct. 8th will have any 'trusted' with it? Or do you think that 'the01phone.com' slated next Saturday will have any surprises. You have certainly provided a lot of technical know how to the board on mobile and other segments and I appreciate it very much. Any thoughts you can share again would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Genz2

Thanks Mundo. I have a couple of questions. Are the computers Dell? Do they have E-series laptops and did they come with FDE drives? Is this the upgraded full blown ERAS in the mix authentication server, TNC/NAC/NAP biometric complete package from Wave? Seriously anything you can find out would be great. Just wondering.....Thanks again.

"But this thing is really starting to move."

One other thing that has me seesawing is how many FDE drives were in queue waiting for the E-series lauch? Why would you have wanted to purchase a Latitude with an FDE drive right before the E-series came out? Yes, cheaper but inferior.

Countryboy brought up a great find where greater than 60% of the Fortune 100 are using Vpro.

Have a great Labor Day Weekend everyone. I once heard something like "positive something is better than negative nothing."

Telstarjohn - Even IF Wave comes out on the 'Winning Team' recollection tells me that we were on that with NCI a FEW years ago. How is this going to be different than that???? Another words, I don't think we have rec'd anything from THAT!!! I'm hoping it will be different this time around if we are indeed part of this.

Fullmoon, You have been posting a lot of great stuff lately, but I'm not sure I was able to make the connection between Silverlight and Wave. Is there supposed to be a connection? Thanks again for all your great work.

New ad on E6400

There is a new ad on the back of Business Week that says,"27% longer battery life than HP"

Engineered for extraordinary demands

THE NEW LATITUDE E6400

It shows a picture of the new laptop. Anyway its nice to see.

Did anyone read the NetFlix news yesterday?

A delay in shipping DVD's... A BIG delay. I can't think of solution to this problem. Does anyone have any ideas?:)

E-series laptops

Has anybody wondered whether there have been certain corporations waiting to get a FDE laptop from Dell that is an E-Series laptop. The Army had a consolidated buy start at the end of July and run through Sept. 30. I would think that all of the laptops that they buy would be with the FDE option. Muenchen, if Wave only signed up for 800k I would think they could have something pretty substantial up their sleeve in the next couple of weeks. If they can sign up NBC and the Olympics who knows what could happen.

Genz2

Thank you DD....

I have XP so everyone who gives a synopsis of how their TvTonic/Olympics experience is helps me (a shareholder) get a feel for this important segment in Wave's business. Thanks again for all your efforts. I'm sure there are others who have XP feel the same way.

Genz2

Donald Duck - A question You are downloading the opening ceremonies. Do you expect the part of the 2008 Chinese to be playing the drums to be in it? Someone on the Forum at TV Tonic said the opening ceremonies through TV Tonic was horrible. He said it was very choppy. Whatever you can report back is most appreciated as is your commentary as of late. Thank you very much,

Genz2

Barge- I was checking last night and there are 2 million plus Zune's out there.

There are also going to be a lot of cell phones downloading on behalf of NBCOlympics2Go.

I think Zune and going mobile are going to add to the "combustion":)

THANK YOU TORO

I have XP and most likely will not have Vista for the Olympics although I do know someone with Vista. Anyway your thoughts on TVTonic are very much appreciated. I'm sure there are many others who appreciate you efforts. Thanks again, and hopefully Wave has a few surprises up its sleeve in the coming weeks.

Genz2

Weets- How are you? Hope all is well and I hope that I can speak for others that we miss your presence. August should be an interesting month!! Have a good summer.

Pipeline HD sighting...

I was looking through PC World (the latest issue) and there was an ad that said "Welcome to your Media Playground" Part of the ad had the Seagate Wave logo with an explanation that included the Seagate Pipeline HD...with room for 500 of your favorite movies. Its the Moneual 902 Ali. I saw that the Pipeline HD was going to be available 2H 2008, but this was the first product I remember seeing with it. I wonder if Wave ends up being involved.....

Awk - Thank you for that WXP patent information. Happy 4th everyone.

Barge - Question

How are we making the connection that Olympics on the Go is now also Home PC/PC extender on your TV? I really can't see what you are pointing to in Maynard's post that indicates this. Please let me know...

Trusted Mobile Phones....

Brian Berger said on April 9th, "And soon users can benefit from trusted mobile phones..." Seems like there are a lot of new cell phones out there similar to the iphone, but without the security to measure up to enterprise standards. TCG, Wave......

Well we are coming up July so I would think that 'soon' would qualify at some point here.

Does Wave have one more bullet in its arsenal before a potential PP???????

Helpfulbacteria - Thank you for all your efforts. I hope you are doing well. Genz2

Helpfulbacteria- I'm reading all your post this morning. THank you. I remember when Wave had an agreement with One Name years ago. Do you think there is any kind of agreement left or can you give in your own words what this XRI means to trusted computing and any idea how LONG to be implemented. I would read the PPT link but I don't have PPT and this particular link doesn't work. Thanks again. Genz2

May1sep2 -

I believe this was posted by someone this weekend. They saw it in Orange county Staples flier. I saw it in The Hartford Courant Staples flier. I was certainly excited. I wonder if Barge would care to comment on this being marketed as an enterprise device rather than a 'consumer device':). He probably has a couple of questions for Seagate:)

Question for Internet(Jas)

Internet - you had mentioned that Seagate was totally committed to the FDE drives or something like that. I was just wondering if that is the case then why is Seagate spending very little on marketing this new product. Any idea what they are waiting for? I'm not calling the Future of Computing event from Dell a real marketing event on Seagate's behalf. Do you think they are going to do something on this on their own? Your posts are very informative. Thank you. Genz2

OT - Verio - one of the companies in the list....

I checked many of the companies in the 'list' provided at the ASM. I thought Verio was interesting. It is a subsidiary of NTT North America which is a unit of NTT. So even though NTT seems to really be dragging its feet I was happy to see this.

Brian Berger quote-

Does anyone have a link to a TCG blog I believe where Brian Berger said that trusted phones were coming soon. It was probably a couple of months ago. Thanks. And thanks to Barge for your great DD even though I think Wave is going to be going with a Nokia (TCG) before they go with Apple. JMO

Unclever has the 1st quarter transcript posted on unclever.com. Thank you unclevername.

Thanks... I don't think I'm going to check out the Yahoo board though:) I sure would like to see Wave start to make money. They have had a few tries and having a few reference accounts along with the NSA endorsement one would think we should see the light at the end of the tunnel:)

titlewave - Where is it located on the site? I can't seem to find it?????

Upgrades...

Has anyone been able to calculate the upgrades for the 1st quarter to determine what 4x for the second quarter so far? And if Dell can now say that Seagate has NSA certification shouldn't that make it a no brainer for a company thinking about adopting FDE. We have well over 1000 enterprises who have checked the product out. Shouldn't Dell begin to see some of these 1000 enterprises order and reorder. SKS said that Dell and Wave were in a pilot phase during the 1st quarter. Uh, when is the sales phase? I'm not counting the 4 referenced accounts. Does anyone know? TIA BTW, I haven't listened to the call as I like to read the transcript on unclever.com.

Robert I...

Just out of curiosity, where are you coming up with 75k for FDE seats?

Waveduke and other Wavoids-

I've read things like we 'expect' to be cash flow positive back in 2007 and many other things that were advertised a certain way but did not come out that way in the future if you know what I mean. April and beginning of the year - who knows. SKS has helped to keep this technology set for the launch pad and many of the shareholders have made it through lower and lower PP's. "'We' think the rest of the year is going to be a very exciting time for Wave." I'm willing to give SKS 2008 to make this statement true. I've waited 8 years so whats one more!

Waveduke and Robert I...

This is what was said during the 3rd quarter cc re: the 1 mil:

We have over $100,000 worth of business that I think we have pretty-that we've closed already today- and we have about 20,000 seats - a little less than 20,000 seats - that we believe could close in the fourth quarter, which ranges somewhere in the 1,000,000 to a little bit more than 1,000,000 range depending on how the pricing of those seats work out. There are a couple of larger accounts in that list and we expect those accounts to close in Q4. It is possible that they'll close a portion of that business and not all of that business in Q4. If that happens we would expect the balance to happen the beginning of the year.

I guess I'm not sure why we hired this firm. Are they supposed to boost the stock price? Anyone?

Seagate...

I think if Seagate just started shipping, well....
SKS said that there are some companies on an automatic cycle for buying FDE pc's. He said this in the last quarterly call. I suggest reading the transcript for the 4th quarter on unclever.com. It will give you some 'flavor' for where we are. If you really want to get excited read some of Dory's posts from a little while ago. If true, it could be real good.

Seagate earnings call - 5 pm

If anyone listens to the Seagate earnings call please share your findings on the remote chance that we hear about FDE drives. Thank you.

Some NFC news...

http://www.reuters.com/article/technologyNews/idUSL1578787320080415

Hey Wildman262,

I wonder when Brian Berger said that we'd see trusted mobile phones soon, if that meant 6 or 12 months. Remember when FDE with Dell was coming out 'very' soon!!! I guess we'll just have to wait some more.
