Walter, Multi-codec is only part of the solution. The ability to handle multiple DRMs is probably more important. The Lyra is multi-codec. It plays both MP3 and G2...although I hear they're having trouble with playback. Lucent worked with EDIG because it would have taken them too much time and money to develop a system robust enough to handle EPAC. The information is out there. Check it out. You may find a reason to stay on. Good luck, Kerry

I don't believe money's being lost with time. Clearly, if the players were on the market now, and little or no music was available for them, the demand for them would be at best weak. By releasing the player simultaneously with available music, hopefully in the first or second quarter of the year, the sound quality and availability of music for the players should become known by mid year. By the next Xmas season they'll be the hottest gift item in their price range. MicroOS is the key, and I believe that as more becomes know about most of the new devices that come on the market, we'll find that whether eDig designs and manufactures them or not, many of them will license with eDig for the use of MicroOS. The nice thing about MicroOS is it doesn't require a specific component to be built into the player, rather it's loaded into memory, much the way Windows is loaded on most P.C.'s. As I understand it, it only uses about 8K of memory. As manufacturers recognize its capabilities, which are protected by patents, they'll be willing to pay a reasonable price for the right to load it on the devices they develop. No doubt, eDig will make more money on players that are designed and manufactured under contract with them. But if others design and manufacture the players, or other devices, and eDig receives a small royalty for each unit that's built, I'm sure we'll all be happy investors. Gary

Walter, Your posts 8642 and 8643 are excellent examples of how you're constantly chasing your tail. You are so off in your thinking and assumptions about what is taking place in this industry and this company's prospects that you have most of us ROFLOAO. Please take your own advice and waste yours and others time on other sites. Suggest you stick to your chosen occupation of bean counting and do it on other's time. You can always sell the 100 shares you own and not have to look back.
