Buzz, demo was at 1430 today; first reports from attendees (via RB board; see below) sound encouraging. Hoping for OEM announcements later (this week would be nice!)

This is what I learned today from Lucent.

There will definetly be a player out for Christmas.

Licensing agreements are complete but they cannot make them public yet.

EDIG has a great prototype that Lucent loves

EPAC supports DSP which supports multiple playing standards.

Downloads can be available by kiosk or POP (point of purchase) at retail stores and mall.

Different Platforms supported: Window, Mac, and Windows CE, Linux will be next...

Lucent will have a new website dedicated to EPAC.

Support of Real and Streaming technologies.

Ready for Liscensing today.

EPAC player will be free to end-users. *

Most manufactures were waiting for final SDMI specs before making announcements. Annmouncements should folllow soon.

Lucent will be making a big push soon; they have spent the last year studying the market and it's needs and now feels like it has a product that meets everyone's requirments.

Best of all, EPAC sounds great. It had some of the music industry professionals confused as to which was EPAC and which was CD.

I will expand on these hot points later.

*I assume that he means the software for playing EPAC files via soundcard, not the handheld player - TR
