By: BusyBump $$$$ 9 Oct 2000 Comments From Robert.
I have been absent from the board for quite some time due to pressing family matters. Got an early morning call from Robert this morning and he explained that things were unusually busy at Edig. He said that the pace was picking up daily and that they were getting numerous inquiries from the press. The press was particularly interested in the "Merit" player as they see this as Edig's premier product which has incorporated many new features along with extended battery life, etc. He stated that the "Merit" player was going to be a "great calling card" for Edig in the near term!
In addition, he said that the "Merit" player was receiving the most attention among other OEMs and that there would be announcements from these OEMs before, during, and after the S/H's meeting!
He stated that the HanGo jukebox was also getting a lot of attention from OEMs but he felt that the biggest near term effect would be from "Merit" with announcements from HanGo-related OEMs to follow.
Question #1: Why didn't the latest PR reach the Dow Jones Newswire?
Response #1: It is up to them....their decision. With the Riva Richmond specter, it's no wonder! We have a lot of angry shareholders over this that are expressing their dismay!
Question #2: I realize that the announcement of any new product with Intel is up to them, but have we completed our portion of this product development?
Response #2: This is not a single product but an ongoing project which will continue along with our relationship with Intel. This project continues to take new directions.
Question #3: Any possibility of any VTT/TTV products before the end of this year?
Response #3: Possible...but, again, it is up to the OEMs that we are working with as to how the products will be rolled out. Some will make announcements in advance, such as HanGo did, while others will not make any announcements until the product is ready to hit the shelves.
