I was at the e.Digital shareholder meeting this past week where they announced the deal to produce two Data Play-enabled devices. The electronics firm refered to in the press release is Samsung. (We were told that at the S/H meeting - transcript available at the EDIG website - edig.com). I visited the company yesterday and had a chance to listen to the Maycom music player (which uses CF) and also the Treo jukebox (which contains a 6.4 GB embedded hard drive). This device is small enough to fit in a shirt pocket - slightly bigger than a deck of cards, but not as thick. The sound quality on both was excellent. EDIG is one of the founding members of the CF Association, but it appears that their technology is now getting away from using CF. They are very excited about DataPlay and have been working with them for a year. They feel that there are many possibilities for DataPlay's technology - especially considering the 500 MB storage per quarter-sized disk, and the low price of around $10 per disk. This disk can't be rewritten, but at this price, you can afford to have many disks for different things. That seems to me to be a big competitor for FM. Betty
