E.DIGITAL KICKS OFF 2002 WITH NEW DIGITAL MUSIC PLAYERS AND FIRST AUTOMOTIVE PRODUCT AT CES JANUARY 8 - 11
Unique VoiceNavTM Speech Recognition Interface and Other Features Highlighted in Branded e.Digital MP3 Players and New Designs for OEMs
(LAS VEGAS, NV - January 8, 2002) - e.Digital Corporation (OTC: EDIG), a global provider of comprehensive digital product development and designs, announced that its product lineup at the 2002 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) will include all of its branded digital music players as well as some designs licensed or available for licensing by OEM customers.
The company’s first branded consumer product, the MXPTM 100 digital music and voice player/recorder, will be joined by the new MXP 100 Sport version. MXP 100, with e.Digital’s VoiceNav technology, is the first portable digital product ever equipped with a user-independent speech recognition interface. Users just say the title of their favorite song to navigate through their portable music library. Boasting battery life of over 12 hours per charge, both MXP 100 models support the removable IBM Microdrive, with storage capacities of up to 1 gigabyte (GB), allowing consumers to store up to 32 hours of music and voice in a sleek, ultra-portable design.
e.Digital’s TREÓTM 10, a 10 GB hard-disk-drive (HDD) based portable jukebox holding over 3,000 songs, will be available for hands-on demonstrations. Its Smart Song SelectionTM feature lets user scroll easily through tracks on an easy-to-read, backlit LCD screen while music is playing. With battery life of nearly 10 hours and a stylish brushed aluminum case, TREÓ 10 is the sophisticated digital music fan’s choice to hold and play the music collection of a lifetime.
The Classic XP3 e.Digital-powered jukebox product from Musical Electronics, Ltd., features the ability to encode music directly from any audio source into MP3 files, bypassing the need for a PC to perform digital compression. The Classic XP3 also features a 10 GB capacity HDD, superior sound quality, and support for both MP3 and Windows MediaTM file formats. The Classic XP3 is field upgradeable to support other popular formats as they become available.
e.Digital is scheduled to unveil a new automotive stereo product based on the company’s MicroOSTM 2.0 technology. The compact HDD-based design is the core of a complete, integrated automotive infotainment system developed with Eclipse by Fujitsu Ten and licensed for sale under the Eclipse brand name. Known as the MP-3 Changer, the system uses e.Digital’s VoiceNav speech recognition interface to simplify use and promote safe operation while driving. The MP-3 Changer also introduces the first ever (Patent Pending) Write Behind capability for post signal music/information capture.
DataPlay-enabled digital music players designed by e.Digital will be on display. Various designs compatible with DataPlay’s new 500 MB-capacity removable digital media are available for licensing by OEM customers. One DataPlay-enabled portable music player scheduled to be shown is a joint development between e.Digital and Evolution Technologies and is licensed for sale by MTV: Music Television. It will be unveiled in the Evolution booth #13432 in the MP3 Pavilion during the show.
e.Digital will also be previewing the ultra-compact "Renegade".
