For anyone who doesn't believe that e.Digital's design player will become the standard for portable music players must ask themselves a couple of questions. With the following digital audio platforms: MusicMatch, RNWK's, Liq. Audio, RioPort and WMA The following audio codecs: AAC, MP3, ePac, WMA, Atrac And the following DRMs: ITRU, IBM's emm, SP3, MagicGate, MSFT's DRM That makes 15 different components which can be mixed and matched with any combination of the others. There must be literally hundreds of different combinations. So far e.Digital is the only one that has said they will be able to play all of the different components that are available. Putnam said, " There are even companies that we are working with that already have players on the market and want to use our version as their next generation product. " So who already has a player on the market? Sanyo, RCA, Rio, I-Jam. Some of these leaders want to use e.Digital's player in the future. Why? Because they have to or perish. Why would some of e.Digital's OEM's want to put e.Digital's name right there on the player like Putnam mentioned in his last interview? Simple, they want to show the consumers that they are selling the best player, the one that can play everything seamlessly and is upgradable, that this player is an e.Digital design player. The cadillac of the players. To me this says STANDARD = Gorilla = huge valuation in stock price. This also means opening more doors to opportunity for e.Digital Why did they recently move into a larger facility? Why have they been hiring new engineers? This is a no brainer long term hold to extreme wealth. Mark

Well said Mark. I noticed cAPSLOCK's post this evening and was preparing a note about the absence of debt on their balance sheet when I saw that you had already responded. Another erroneous element was the suggestion that insiders have dumped large amounts of stock. Actually, the amount sold is only a bit more than that required to cover the taxes due upon the exercise of their options. The timing of the most recent sales was dictated by the rather narrow window associated with the latest 10-Q filing and the NASDAQ application. In fact, share positions of insiders have increased and the total held by both Falk and Putnam is substantial. I don't have a problem with cAPSLOCK's expression of his opinion on this stock. His prior posts demonstrate that he is a serious, responsible investor. We differ on the prospects for e.Digital, (and I suspect that he simply did not understand the balance sheet structure when he made his comment about the debt) but I do think that he is entitled to present his point of view on this board as he chooses. One of my old Latin teachers taught us the maxim, "De gustibus non est disputantem" (In matters of taste there can be no dispute) and I think that applies here. (Apologies to Mr. Raispis for the likely misspelling of the above phrase.) JimC
