Falk also discussed e.Digital’s partnership with Aircraft Protective Systems, Inc. (APS) to develop and market a portable, hard disk drive-based In-Flight Entertainment, or IFE, system under contract for a leading U.S. airline. The agreement calls for e.Digital to manufacture the units and sell them to the airlines through APS, which is a certified airline service and equipment provider. Discussions are underway with major motion picture studios to provide content for this device, making it the first portable IFE unit of its kind to be introduced to the airline and travel industry.

According to Falk, "This customizable product is intended to play music and movies and provides airlines with an alternative to retrofitting their planes with embedded and costly In-Flight Entertainment systems. We believe this is a viable solution for airlines to offer passengers personalized, portable in-flight entertainment with no aircraft downtime and relatively minimal costs. We believe, as do several motion picture executives, that it will significantly upgrade the standard in In-Flight Entertainment.”

Falk added that, "We expect significant ongoing revenue associated with this project, including revenue from non-recurring and recurring service fees plus licensing fees and royalties on each unit. This contract represents e.Digital’s first venture into the In-Flight Entertainment industry; with APS we are in discussions with several other airlines to adopt the portable IFE model and implement this service and value-added content for their passengers. There is tremendous growth potential for this system, as it can be applied to the entire travel and leisure industry.”

I do not believe that APS has any official certification to sell to airlines. If so, would someone state which agency has "certified" APS? IMO, this is a false statement.

Additionally, APS is improperly calling itself "APS, Inc." It's corporate name is Aircraft Protective Sevices, Inc. There is another company in Washington State that has the corporate name of APS, Inc.

Boyer is definitely an enterprising guy, but I don't see him as particularly honest about his company.
