I've already answered RKHlll's question, and he knows it. It's not the first time he's asked it. All he has to do is get off his duff and go back and read the historical posts. This questioning of motives is typical when a poster cannot or will not address issues, or feels that their argument is inadequate. They are left with attacking the messenger.

By: balrog Reply To: None Thursday, 24 Feb 2000 at 9:31 AM EST Post # of 226207 The best highlites from the interview. Here are some of my notes from the interview on 2/23/00 on Viavid. ?Since the first of the year, EDIG has been talking with many brokers, institutional funds and analysts that are very interested in EDIG and what they do plus the companies they are working with. They will have the ability to hopefully take EDIG to not only the next level but hopefully several levels above. ?The record companies appreciate what EDIG is doing with their seamless multicodec player design because they are NOT using transcoding. ?Fred has been very busy this week with the SDMI. He was in meetings starting Monday night and was in meetings until Tuesday nite at 10:00pm. They are having some tremendous success talking with some OEMs they have been working with as well as meeting with many other new OEMs as well as content providers. ?This calendar year, 2000, will be a blow out year for EDIG as far as revenue generation and start to fulfill the promise of EDIG that everyone is expecting. ?They are working with several OEMs, some of them are consumer electronics companies and some aren?t even in consumer electronics that are looking at bringing out a branded internet music player and use it as a way to go after the 18 to 30 year old market. They?ve had great meetings with several companies over the past several months. ?Maycom is a manufacturer of 2 or 3 different players. They have introduced EDIG?s reference design to several of the companies that they are dealing with. As well as one that they are looking to do deals with. Those talks are progressing. ?Originally EDIG went to the SDMI with Lucent. EDIG is not an official member of the SDMI. But because they have been to every meeting and have become so involved, they are now going to the meetings representing themselves at this point. A question was asked of Putnam, ? Would there be any special significance for EDIG if they were to become an official member of SDMI ? ? The answer was, ? At this point it doesn?t matter because they have become a defacto member of the organization because of their involvement there. ?Power management capabilities of the MicroOS is one of the premier things that they bring to the table for their OEMs. ?When removable memory or Micro Drive compatibility become important to the cellular phone manufactures, EDIG will have a more important part to play there. ?They think that this year will be the year that full motion video begins to take off. Putnam believes that there will be a number of applications where 2 to 6 minutes of full motion video will be cached instead of streamed. ?EDIG has had good luck in getting new engineers in the last 2 to 3 months because of what they are working on and who they are working with. They have been attracting engineering talent. A lot of the engineers have sought out EDIG to be involved in the ground floor of something that can be very large. ?Question: ? What are the chances of one of the semi conductor giants having MicroOS embedded on their chips? ? The answer was: ? That?s part of making EDIG a standard out there. If we are successful at that it goes a long way to getting that for the MicroOS. We are working with at this point, several companies who are very interested in doing that. And we are interested in making that happen. ? ?The new TI DSPs are very exciting for EDIG as well as their OEMs. They continue to have a great relationship with TI and look forward to continue working with them. ?As to equity investments. EDIG has had discussions and is having discussions with companies. But they need to be carefull because EDIG is positioning themselves to be format or standard agnostic without choosing sides. They are looking for companies that have a global reach and understanding of where hand held devices are going to go and not taking sides on standards. ?At this time there have been some OEMs who have expressed an interest in using e.Digital?s name on the product. EDIG is interested in doing that. ?Waves of news will come when content is released from the music labels. EDIG will not hold back news because of the Nasdaq listing. ?EDIG believes that significant news will come out between now and when the waves of news come out. ?Acquisitions: EDIG is looking for opportunities, mostly software related that will give EDIG even more of a position in this brand new appliance industry.
