That's a great interview with Robert Putnam. Read it, as it should send the stock down below 3 tomorrow I finally figured out why they used and renamed penny stock NCII to EDIG. By doing that, the insiders did not have to wait two years before they could start unloading stocks. It is hard to keep a story going for 2 years as the masses starts getting restless! Anybody buying at these great prices? LOL...humble carl

RP allegedly wrote: "No, EDIG cannot discuss the status of the individual relationships, even generally saying something like, "There are 4 done deals". The "double digits" phrase was a broad guideline from early on to give people the understanding that EDIG was working with a significant number of companies, rather than depending on one or two relationships. The "double digits" includes negotiations, deal, consultations, etc., a whole range of relationships. " What a bunch of weasel-words. "We can't discuss it". But we are willing to throw a number out there, anyway. We can't say, but we are saying. But don't count on what we say because - well, we can't say, and what we are saying doesn't really mean anything. If you can't discuss it, RP, then DON'T DISCUSS IT. Betcha he won't say just how many are "deals" (my guess - ONE), how many are negotiations, and how many are "consultations" (e.g. EDIG's sales people called on somebody, or they mailed out literature, or, LOL, they got a hit on their web site...). Because, well, you know, due to non-disclosure agreements, they can't say. At least we now know what "working with" means. And it DOESN'T mean what some people on this thread have touted it to mean. It means: "negotiations, deal, consultations, etc., a whole range of relationships." IMO, it doesn't mean much.

Todd, going back and looking at the actual words in your post, there is NO WAY that anybody would know that the words you wrote were not spoken by RP. When one sees a Q. and A. one must presume that the words after the Q. are those of the questioner, and the words after the A. are those of the answerer. If an editorial note is added to the A., then it must be made clear that it is an editorial note. For clarity, here is the Q and A from your actual post on RB: Q: In the past, the phrase ''double digit'' has been used to number the OEM's we have interested in the reference design player, as generated by both EDIG and Maycom. Is this still accurate, or are OEM's migrating toward more simple solutions (MP3 or single codec players) in light of the lack of significant content being released by the labels? Of course an interested party does not necessarily equal a revenue generating contract. Can you comment at all on how many of these "interested parties" can be considered "done deals" at this time? A:No, EDIG cannot discuss the status of the individual relationships, even generally saying something like, "There are 4 done deals". The "double digits" phrase was a broad guideline from early on to give people the understanding that EDIG was working with a significant number of companies, rather than depending on one or two relationships. The "double digits" includes negotiations, deal, consultations, etc., a whole range of relationships. The OEM's are not migrating to simple players, and in fact are going to strive to distinguish themselves with unique feature sets, which is where the MicroOS shines." Now, I realize that you qualifed the whole conversation by saying that you weren't giving a verbatim account of what he said, and were paraphrasing to the best of your ability. I can accept that. But could you please now go over the paragraphs above, and clearly delineate what RP said, and which part was simply your opinion? Did RP actually say this, or something similar, or didn't he say anything of the kind at all: "The "double digits" phrase was a broad guideline from early on to give people the understanding that EDIG was working with a significant number of companies, rather than depending on one or two relationships. The "double digits" includes negotiations, deal, consultations, etc., a whole range of relationships." Thanks, in advance, for clarifying this for all of us. P.S. I think it is now clear why these daily reported "conversations" are such a bad idea. I would hope that RP would recognize how inaccurately his words are being repeated, and stop engaging in this nonsense.
