Part 2: CES Update (Part 2): IBM: This one was awesome! When I asked the person up front if she knew anything about e.Digital?s showcase, she responded, ?You mean the one they worked with Intel on? Absolutely! You can find the e.Digital?s player over their (pointing to the end of the room).? There it was, the ?Puck? sitting next to some info on e.Digital, with IBM?s microdrive installed (its about the sized of a extremely small matchbook, but powerful as a bonfire). While I was listening to Shania Twain and AC/DC (do your research to figure out which labels those artists are represented by, and maybe you will find a correlation on a future announcement), a IBM rep came over to me asked if I had any questions. My first was to tell me what he knew about this player. He said, ?This is a product from e.Digital, TI and Intel that incorporates IBM?s 340MB microdrive. A ton of people have come through asking to see this, and looks to be the HOT ITEM here. I believe this is the ONLY SYSTEM AVAILABLE that offers Multi-Codec support including EPAC, QDesign Music Playback, AAC, Liquid Audio, MS Audio, Dolby Digital, MP3 and others. This system is SDMI compliant, having security features that include decryption, screening, authentication and decoding multiple formats.? I asked him if e.Digital will become the industry standard, he replied, ?What do you think? They are working with Texas Instruments, Intel, and us. I don?t think we would be wasting our time if not.? WOW!!!!! He gave me an information sheet on e.Digital that stated the following: ?e.Digital?s portable Multi-Codec Internet Music Player reference design is available for licensing by consumer electronics manufacturers and other OEM partners. The industries first Multi-Codec Internet Music Player featuring EPAC enables individuals to play music files downloaded from the Internet or ripped from their personal CD collection. The palm-sized player offers Hi-Fi functionality, multiple music codec support along with auto-codec selection and multiple DRM support. The media used in this device is a removable CompactFlash cartridge with capacity up to 128MB or a 340MB removable IBM microdrive. There reference design is very flexible to accommodate the needs of our OEM customers.? I have to say this was the most inspiring meeting I. Folks, we are in great shape! Hold on, because I?m sure its going to be a bumpy ride. I will try to dig up some additional information from the other companies, but wanted to get the basic feedback to you all as soon as possible. Good luck to all! End of year prediction: $50 and up - the sky's the limit with this one! Trenddetector
