Mark et al Mark, my vision also has gotten me into some issues much too early, but like MIR, patience and continued vigilance often is very, very rewarding. eDig is now in the best position of its existence and Fred has learned this past year to separate the wheat from the chaff and has received a lot of help from interested parties and the co's. shareholders. He has been instrumental in getting eDig into a very friendly and collaborative mode with world class companies. IMO, the fruits of these labors should soon become evident. A number of sites will be springing up that will astound all of us in their offerings. For example Click Radio's recent announcement of their using ePac and that it has a relationship with UMG for their library is only 1 of many who will be seeking and sharing their skills and software details with eDig. This is to be certain that their customers will be able to buy a handheld that will play their offerings. It is just starting to occur to content owners and their site licensees that someone out there should be able to build a compatible handheld and get it into the consumers' hands. The race is definitely on and eDig will have the ability to pick and choose whom they will help. This should place them in a very strong position to dictate very, very favorable terms to all those who've delayed decision making to the last minute. The telcom industry is moving ahead very quickly with getting wireless internet systems, and necessary chipsets, handsets, base stations, and all other infrastructure ready to meet tremendous demands for products with a voice interface. Edig will be getting asked to do more and more for this industry. IMO, it is very likely that RP's prediction that 30 or so engineers should suffice for awhile is an under estimate of future need and demand. I look for the likelihood that eDig may soon divide their work force to permit a voice interface division and an entertainment and intellectual property division of eDig talent. This seems to be the way that business should flow into eDig. Companies like TI, MOT, LU, INTC, CISCO, and the Asian co's. getting into DSP's or DSP variants will find eDig their best ally in getting their components and technologies into the marketplace. Edig's size and relative neutrality creates a design house that can make it all converge much, much more quickly. I view this current price range as a pure gift, particularly since it has been stated repeatedly that announcements of OEM contracts and Nasdaq listing may be imminent. Best to all.
