e.Digital Corporation EDIG), a leading innovator of
secure digital video technology and products and patented technology
in the utilization of flash memory in portable devices, today
announced it has begun receiving orders for its new proprietary eVU
portable entertainment product from companies in the healthcare and
travel and leisure industries. The company also unveiled a new,
comprehensive eVU website (www.edigital.com/evu.htm) where prospective
customers and other interested parties can take a virtual eVU tour,
read its specifications and request additional information.
Based on e.Digital's proprietary digital video technology, eVU
features razor-sharp images on its 7" high resolution LCD screen,
superb audio fidelity, dual stereo headphone jacks, embedded credit
card reader/processor, touch screen capabilities, bright full featured
graphical user interface, e.Digital's patent-pending hardware security
technology, 10 hours of high resolution video playback on a single
battery charge, and other advanced features.
"With pilot builds and trials behind us, we are now accepting
volume eVU orders. eVU product maturity and the launch of our eVU
website positions us to make further progress in building our eVU
closed system Video On Demand (VOD) business," said Will Blakeley,
e.Digital's president and chief technical officer. "We are also
responding to direct requests from individual airlines and IFE
providers on eVU business opportunities. We have also made inroads
with military organizations on secure video applications utilizing
e.Digital's proprietary technology. We expect to fulfill current and
expected eVU orders next quarter and throughout calendar 2006."
Addressing e.Digital's recently announced efforts to monetize its
flash memory-related patent portfolio, Blakeley commented, "According
to research from CLSA Asia-Pacific Markets, global demand for flash
memory is expected to reach $25 billion this year, due mainly to the
rapid proliferation of handheld devices. We believe the timing and
climate are right for us to pursue monetizing our flash memory-related
patent portfolio which we believe contains fundamental and valuable
claims regarding the use of embedded and removable flash memory in
portable devices."
e.Digital holds five flash memory-related patents (#5,491,774,
#5,742,737, #5,787,445, #5,839,108, #5,842,170--The assignee name on
four of the patents is Norris Communications, now known as e.Digital
Corporation--The assignee name on the fifth patent is Comp General
Corporation, a then-wholly owned subsidiary of Norris Communications).
"We have initiated the process of having the patents and claims
independently evaluated," concluded Blakeley. "When the evaluation
process is completed, and with the assistance of an intellectual
property management company, our strategy is to aggressively pursue
licensing agreements with companies we believe have products utilizing
e.Digital's intellectual property."
