Why you keep contending that any delay in launching this device is EDIG's fault is absolutely beyond me. You have no insight into the design process of this product, and to imply that the timeline has been elongated due to EDIG's performance is, well, shall we say, unsubstantiated. Has it been delayed? Yes. We have a valid reason, given by a party intimately involved with the design roadmap, and we have your assumptions and implications. I think I'll take "Those who are actually there" for $600, Jack...

casandra:

I know what the product is.

The fact is that it is Eclipse's call on when they want the product released and with what features. The fact is that Eclipse requested additions/changes to the product. The fact is that Eclipse, I'm sure will have a marketing program for the product set around their time schedule. The fact is it's an award winning product. Once again, it is up to Eclipse when they release.

I would also question that anyone answering the phone from Fujitsu Ten or Eclipse would simply have accurate or updated information. Who's in the loop?

What you are missing:

Vannin Gale, senior marketing manager for the Eclipse brand, said Fujitsu Ten expects the arrangement to yield more voice-activated products for cars.

These would integrate audio systems with interactive video, navigation, e-mail and other functions, Gale said.

Home Connections Coming

According to Jim Collier, e.Digital's chief operating officer, the integration could yield a single voice-activated system that controls the audio equipment in the car as well as the cell phone, the on-board global positioning system (GPS) and video players.

"Technology development will include navigation and control, as well as wireless access and integration with home networks," Collier said.
