For anyone who doesn't believe that e.Digital's design player will become the standard for portable music players must ask themselves a couple of questions.
With the following digital audio platforms:
MusicMatch, RNWK's, Liq. Audio, RioPort and WMA
The following audio codecs:
AAC, MP3, ePac, WMA, Atrac
And the following DRMs:
ITRU, IBM's emm, SP3, MagicGate, MSFT's DRM
That makes 15 different components which can be mixed and matched with any combination of the others. There must be literally hundreds of different combinations. So far e.Digital is the only one that has said they will be able to play all of the different components that are available.
Putnam said, " There are even companies that we are working with that already have players on the market and want to use our version as their next generation product. "
So who already has a player on the market? Sanyo, RCA, Rio, I-Jam.
Some of these leaders want to use e.Digital's player in the future. Why? Because they have to or perish.
Why would some of e.Digital's OEM's want to put e.Digital's name right there on the player like Putnam mentioned in his last interview? Simple, they want to show the consumers that they are selling the best player, the one that can play everything seamlessly and is upgradable, that this player is an e.Digital design player. The cadillac of the players.
To me this says STANDARD = Gorilla = huge valuation in stock price.
This also means opening more doors to opportunity for e.Digital
Why did they recently move into a larger facility? Why have they been hiring new engineers?
This is a no brainer long term hold to extreme wealth.
