For the last 75 years, consumers have had to (at great expense) upgrade their music media each time a new format comes out, from vinyl to reel-to-reel to 8-track to cassette to CD and finally to DVD and mini-disc. In addition, all of these media have been subject to breakage and all degrade over time (yes, even CDs get smudged and scratched etc.). S3/DIMD has recognized what is obviously the revolutionary new way of the future: media-less music. This new industry is exploding all around us and will doubtlessly change the future in many ways. Sony and the recording industry appear have so much investment in the legacy technologies that they can't adapt rapidly because those in charge of the $$$ are afraid of change. What is really amazing is that the "little guy" S3/DIMD appear to actually be walking away with this market. So far, it seems that nobody has stopped them. If things continue like this for another 5 years, probably nobody will be able to stop them, in essence S3/DIMD will be Sony, and Sony will be extinct. So who cares what press releases S3/DIMD put out? We already know what their plans are (see the web site). The value of your stock 5 years from now is going to be determined more by how quickly the competition is able to gain market share. And so far the competition does not appear to be doing very well. And, if that wasn't enough, S3 appears to be doing major R&D in other cutting edge technologies that show additional promise for the future. The company seems to have captured the best of two worlds: the inventiveness of the small company and the well-financed-ness of a big company.
