Mark, I speculated about one direction such a video player might come from in a recent Raging Bull post which responded to a message from minimogul: ragingbull.altavista.com My post was #475351: minimogul, very interesting content from your link: technews.netscape.com This article notes that Compaq intends to ramp up production of their new iPAC PDA to 100,000 units/month early next year. (For comparison, Palm currently ships about 350,000 units/month.) I have been watching development of that PDA very carefully for some time now. It is a quantum leap over the Palm-grade devices in that it is powered by an Intel 206 MHz StrongArm processor and has 32 MB of flash memory with a great color display. One feature that may be very important to EDIG is its ability to play MP3 music files through a self-contained speaker. I believe that e.Digital will develop a strong relationship with Compaq over the next few months, starting with the redesign of the Cleo jukebox and extending through a re-engineering of the first generation Compaq portable music player, but also including work on a more advanced version of the PDA that you referenced in your link. e.Digital has often alluded to their work in video image management. A superb vehicle for that work would be the Compaq iPAC which has both the processing power and the display screen to handle full-motion videos. JimC
