Could e.Digital’s MicoOS be embedded in this product and other DSPs? e.Digital now has top Intel personnel onboard and is exhibiting advanced reference designs as seen the last two years - and most recently at 2001 CES for Samsung and Toshiba. In my opinion, new flash/HDD hybrids and dedicated DSPs are on the horizon. Expect to see more advanced DAPs & PDAs from many of the giant chip makers and Consumer Electronics OEMs as quality emerges with security for Internet music and other content. eDigital is extremely well positioned – Intel’s CEO recently commented that the ‘Pocket Concert’ is format agnostic, IMO - this means when/if multi-codec and ‘digital rights management’ issues become needed by content providers, they have access to our MiroOS platform.

IMO - Embedded Projects Are Ongoing.
These NDA’s Verify The Sectors Enormity & Complexity.
October 30, 2000 - Fred Falk, ‘’We are also working with OEMs who may compete against each other with product offerings designed by e.Digital. Our non-disclosure agreements with our OEMs are in place to ensure that we are not disclosing any details of their product and our agreements to other OEMs and the public until they are ready to have this information made available. ‘’ Feb. 14, 2001 – e.Digital Form 10-QSB – Informed Investors that some revenue sources may stay unnamed until they decide to become known.

I Believe This is What Intel Is Going To Do For Secure Internet Content With It’s DRM/ISIS which includes EPAC.

February 2, 2000; WW6 From Technology and Manufacturing Group - Intel Corporation has signed a letter of intent with Rockwell International Corporation to purchase a wafer fabrication facility (fab) located in Colorado Springs, Colo. The purchase will add significant manufacturing capacity for Intel to manufacture flash memory and logic components used in a wide variety of communications, networking and computer equipment. The new Holy Grail for the company is the business of selling flash-memory chips -- used in battery-operated devices that hold their memory even when the device's power is off. Intel is quickly rebuilding itself into the world's largest manufacturer of flash chips.
Three top Intel people from its Flash/Mobile Divisions are now with e.Digital.

e.Digital was selected by Intel to design and prototype a number of portable digital voice recorders utilizing advanced speech-to-text and text-to-speech technologies. Intel plans to sub-license the reference design created by e.Digital to Intel's OEM customers, referring them back to e.Digital for licensing and any additional design and/or manufacturing work required. e.Digital has also filed a number of trademark applications with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office; We have received notification of allowance from the United States Patent Office for use: MicroOS TM, FlashBack(R), Hold That Thought(R), Fumble Free(R), SoundClip(R), Smart Song Selection(tm), MicroCAM TM - Micro Compressed Audio Manager, AMIS TM - Audio Manager Interface and TWIRL TM - Two-Way Infrared Link as registered trade names.

Today's Internet Audio application is based upon the downloading of digital audio content, either speech or music, via the Internet and then playing the encoded digital audio content on an Internet Audio playback device. Very soon, these playback units will be a sub-system in PDAs, digital still cameras, cellular phones, set-top boxes, and other devices. The total market potential is even larger when you consider other complimentary products such as headphone stereo, personal CD, personal MD, car audio, and future DSC, cellular phone, etc., TI has the commanding market share lead with key design-ins at most of the major consumer electronics and PC makers. The following customers have already been publicly announced: a. Thomson Consumer Electronics b. Sanyo c. e.Digital.
