That line of argument in support of EDIG where if we do not know for sure they are selling a pile of junk to shareholders then they must be telling the truth that they have something of value is the kind of blind faith that has gotten EDIG this far. I would trust a strangers claims before EDIG because EDIG has been proven to be serial exaggerators by their consistent lack of performance in my opinion. Its like when investors used to ask Robert Putnum if we were in negotiations with some multi billion dollar OEM and he would answer "how do you know we are not" then leading to a lot of excited investor speculation. Not knowing the specifics of NUNCHI and seeing no partners or tangible results (you cannot even read the patent applications yet) I judge a company by past results. Sadly for EDIG those past results are a 12 year trail of tears for faithful investors and PRs that came in roaring like lions and ended up whimpering away or departing in silence. There is a limit to the number of chances I will give a "business" to earn my support before I start to wonder if I am being BSed and EDIG got far too many chances.

There are apps galore, I agree...this aint no simple app from the Apple store nor via any wireless carriers.
