You forgot your IMO, please make sure it is in all of your future posts. Unless, you have verifiable proof to the contrary.

Cassandra ...

But more importantly, HP says that it wants to distinguish its music player from competitors. Apparently HP wants a design exclusive to them. That would seem to preclude them from releasing the same design as the Gateway player.

This is a repost from Agora on 11-14-03 ...

LawyerLong ...

Actually, it`s both ... "unique" was the word you know who used in his telephone response to one of my e-mail questions on 10-16-03 that read as follows:

3. When utilizing the Odyssey 1000 platform can an OEM design a jukebox with a very different appearance, or would the shell have to be similarly aligned ? Could a mechanism other than the scrollbar be used ?

... and he thought that we would be pleased when we saw them ... sometime between now and mid 2005 I think he said, or did I hear that from someone else ?? No, on second thought he didn`t say when !!

And remember what Fred stated in his 10-21-03 Shareholder Alert ??

"Because of the flexibility of our MicroOS we have developed a wide range of feature sets for the Odyssey 1000 platform, providing many choices for OEM customers. This a-la-carte model allows OEM clients to customize the Odyssey 1000 platform for their individual specifications and product needs."

I guess there`s no telling what unique designs we could see ... at least that`s my understanding. Now, ain`t it nice to be flexible ?? ;~))

Remember that EDIG has a relationship with Softeq, not HP. If Softeq is engaged by HP to design a player, it's possible that Softeq would involve EDIG, but that is pure speculation. Softeq has previously designed user interfaces for digital music players without EDIG, so it's not necessarily a given that Softeq would subcontract to EDIG as it did for the headsets that were a component in an overall wireless translation system.

I wouldn`t be too hasty in downplaying our relationship with HP ...
