well, then that begs the question.....
"Besides...if you think that the mOS is needed for filing music on flash or rotating media, you're quite mistaken. It's not about the music...."
what the heck are they doing playing around with music players then?? If the MOS is not even needed for these players, it seems an odd market to go after.
The EDIG attempts at music players have been catastrophic financially and the poor ratings and reviews have done more harm than good. So if the EDIG MOS adds no value, they are not making any money in this market, and the products have been almost universally panned, what exactly is the point?
OH, yeah. They use these efforts to issues PRs to help sell more shares of stock!!!
Didn't you use to tout how the MOS was going to allow EDIG to produce the finest music players on the planet? Ipod killers?? Now you are saying the MOS was never even needed to manage music files? How could you have been so wrong about that?
And what of all those other "much more complex file management systems" that you are now forced to cling to since the music players are going nowhere? What decade do you figure we will see those? Didn't you use to tout cell phones, PDAs, set-top boxes, video games, rice-cookers, and everything else under the sun as potential MOS markets?? Are you flip-flopping on those now like you did on the music players?
The bottom line is that to date, there is not a single feature you can point to in any EDIG product that has ever been produced that can be considered a competitive advantage as a direct result of using MOS. As a matter of fact, the products probably would have done better without MOS in them. Maybe they wouldn't have gotten such poor ratings/reviews had they just licensed someone else's OS.
