A post from Jan 19th-To much talk about Samsung for there not to be something to it, imo. This Disney thing may be it. Also, they've been talking about set-top boxes for a long time.
From the Nov 6th, 2002 shareholders recap of the annual meeting:
Stated by FF:
The Company is working with APS, Eclipse by Fujitsu Ten, Bang
& Olufsen, Samsung, Digitalway, and others on projects based
on its cutting-edge technology, employing research and
development that in many cases it has already completed.
From the webcast last week re wireless platform:
''We have a major oem development''
''We will talk about the particulars after the announcement regarding the signed agreement is made''
We know about APS, we know about Eclipse from Fujitsu Ten, and we know about B & O. We also know about Digitalway and it seems to me we may soon know about the other company listed here. e.Digital has been working with them for a long time; and from the e.Digital/Digitalway PR on May 2nd, 2002:
Digitalway started MP3 player development in July 1998 and grew to become the No.1 digital audio player manufacturer in the world. As the OEM to Samsung Electronics (Yepp) and RFC (Jazpiper), Digitalway grew into one of the world's largest manufacturers and has earned a reputation for the highest quality. In Asia including Japan and Korea, Digitalway's products are recorded as No.1 selling digital audio products.
