Now THIS is a more balanced article... because it is updated. Unlike Jim Seymour who hadn't updated his data since MAY? "The player, which e.Digital hopes to have ready for this Christmas season......." However, the device also will be able to play music in the controversial MP3 format, a technology that shrinks CD sound files without major loss of audio quality. " Anyone see the X-mas mention? I also like the idea that you can use both formats interchangably on the player. Seems to go with the idea that there isn't just one digital standard. But that EDIG simply has a much better standard. And I'm telling ya... if these things get hooked into Car stereos.. I DO care about great quality audio. I want THE BEST sounding sound. And what about the home stereo market? I see much more potential for these digtal formats that goes BEYOND a walkman design. I want it in a boombox, car stereo, home entertainment system. And for these formats, I want the highest quality possible. And that is not MP3 -DavidCG

"The player, which e.Digital hopes to have ready for this Christmas season, is designed to play music with Lucent's proprietary Enhanced Perceptual Audio Coder format, designed to thwart unauthorized copying. "The timetable for the digital music device is "aggressive," concedes Fred Falk, e.Digital's 43-year-old president and chief executive. But it's doable, he insists." Kerry, It's doable? That sounds like -- it could happen but it ain't gonna or it probably won't happen this year" I would have preferred an "it's an aggressive deadline and we will meet it!" The article posted on RB seems to have been e.Digital's attempt to smooth over the negative tone that EDIG was presented in in that TheStreet.com article. I guess you fight fire with fire. The article posted on RB seems to have pretty much stated the same things as the TheStreet.com article. It simply had a positive tone and a writing style that was much earlier to read. I didn't know that San Diego had a newspaper called the San Diego Times. The Union Tribune did not have the article when I went to the site union-tribune.com
