moxa1...if this is the case....
"Perhaps, just perhaps, the end user (whatever brand it turns out to be) uses this other Asian OEM to manufacture their devices."
Then why even have the 3rd rate PUMP PR? If that was the case, why would that detail need to announced months ahead of time in a 3rd rate PR? Just doesn't make sense.
And by the way, re-read the EDIG speak of that PUMP PR. There is nothing in that PR that states there actually is an "end user" at this point.
to your other points:
"Digitalway is making the IFE device and the larger 01000."
I am sure that with whatever small amount they make from the 1000 IFE devices they are producing and the way the larger O1000 has BOMBED in the market place, Digitalway is more than thrilled!!!
"What makes you think they are entitled to make the smaller model? "
Nothing in my post suggested that they had the right, and since they are now going ahead with a Cornice player, they could probably care less.
But if what you are suggesting, that they only have the rights to the larger player, and EDIG bypassed them with the smaller player, that makes the question in my post even more valid!! How do you think the folks at Digitalway feel about that??
