Actually, EDIG developed both hardware and software security meansures for the player, so the information they provided was correctly stated. You simply read into it what you wished.

"the platform is primarily DivX technology"??? B.S., according to the folks at APS. Let's see what they have to say.... "The dig E player™ was designed and developed for APS by e.Digital Corporation." http://www.digeplayer.com/release3.html

To make the simplistic statement you made regarding platform ownership implies a profound ignorance of the distinction between hardware (platform) and software (operating system and application software). In the Dig e player's case, the platform is uniquely e.Digital's, as is the operating system. The application software incorporates, but is not limited to, Divx's decoding/decompression routines and whatever DRM code they offer.
