just a thought: clearly edigital and digitalway knew exactly what they were doing when they designed the Odyssey 1000 to look so similar to the IPOD; the Forbes article raises again the spector of Apple suing; while that involves a fairly complicated issue related to trade dress and whether or not the similarity in design causes a confusion in the minds of the consuming public, it's just possible that edig /digitalway really doesn't care and secretly hopes that apple WILL sue them; as many others have pointed out here this would bring great publicity to the odyssey 1000; just suppose edig/digitalway ALREADY had a backup design ready to go; think of the AD promotion campaign re the player apple tried to kill but won't be stopped; since it is digitalway's design; hopefully, edig and DGN already have an agreement that if apple sues, the defense costs come out of DGN's pocket not edig
