Barry,
NC State notwithstanding, I think this will be our year. I still have family
in College Park and we have been waiting a long time for this.
All of our next generation mass storage audio players will be subscription
enabled. We are preparing to support any subscription opportunity that
develops. This not only includes music, but all so audio books. We can't
control the rate at which these services develop. However, by providing a
population of players that are ready to support any service that becomes
available we hope to accelerate the adoption of these services. This will be
accomplished via a paid firmware download and an opportunity for recurring
subscription percentages.
Best regards,
Jim Collier

First I would like to say that I know we are in good shape since we have a
Terp alumni running our company. I am a Maryland resident and avid Terps
fan.
I was just pondering your statement at the shareholder meeting about us
being
at the forefront of developing a subscription service. I also noticed that
along with royalty and license fees you plan on creating a business unit for
subscription fees.
Can we expect to hear further developments regarding subscription services?
What is Edig role regarding subscription services?
Are we going to help the market evolve by providing a secure subscription
service that will allow music files to be downloaded to portable devices?
Is this also a major initiative going forward?
