Yes!! Can you repost?? What is our royalty rate? How many are currently being sold? Most of your questions aren't answered in the press release so you'll probably have to address them to investor relations. Here is the release and as far as I can tell, the only actual license agreement announced so far: (BSNS WIRE) e.Digital and Maycom Announce Licensing Agreement for e.Digi e.Digital and Maycom Announce Licensing Agreement for e.Digital's Portable Internet Music Player Design Business Editors NOTE TO MEDIA: Photo is available in a Smart News Release(TM) on Business Wire's Home Page at www.businesswire.com SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 5, 2000--e.Digital Corp. (OTCBB:EDIG) announced today that it has licensed its portable Internet music player design to Maycom Co. Ltd., manufacturer of the I-Jam(TM) digital MP3 player.

The unit, dubbed MP2000 for now, is expected to go into production in late summer 2000 depending on SDMI specifications and the availability of secure music on the Internet.

David, You seem to be a pretty lazy investor. Why should anyone have to repost messages for you? Just go back a couple of hundred posts on this board and hit the "Next" key. How hard is that? And as for asking for specific details of contracts, if they are not contained in the press release I can assure you that no one at the company will release them. If some here want to speculate, fine, but if you have a brain and enough interest in this stock to put your money at risk, it's about time for you to do some research of your own and stop asking endless questions of others on this board. Perhaps your money is better placed in a less risky investment if you do not want to expend the energy to overcome your lack of knowledge through your own efforts. JimC
