I believe eDig will be inside most, if not all, the new devices that are truly built to play, not translate, multiple formats. Take what you believe, add a dime and you still don't have enough ot make a phone call. Take what you believe, add EDIG's assets and you don't have anything worth a 1.5 billion market cap. At $1-$2 maybe smart money gambles. But here - only fishes swim into my mouth.

Gary, I beleive that MOST manufactuers will continue to write their own software (or contract to have it written exclusively for them) rather than license software from EDIG (or from anyone else). Patents are not a big issue. EDIG does NOT have a patent on the use of multiple codecs (which seems to be the big fixation here...). They have some patents on some specific techniques of equalizing usage of flash memory cells. Not a big deal, as their patents cover only specific techniques, others have been equalizing usage of flash memory cells for YEARS, so there is prior art, and anyway as flash memory life improves, this becomes less and less important.
