By: balrog $$$$ Reply To: None Monday, 23 Oct 2000 at 9:39 AM EDT Post # of 505603 The following is a brief synopsis of the interview that Falk and Putnam gave last Friday 10-20-00. It is written in their exact words. Balrog … They have already been working, for the past several months, with some companies looking to integrate the DataPlay technology into their products. … A lot of electronics manufacturers are coming to EDIG looking for help to quickly integrate DataPlay technology into their products in time to make the CES in January. … EDIG will be in DataPlay’s booth at the CES and EDIG will be displaying products that are designed to accommodate the DP. … A whole movie can be put on one DP. … They are recording engineering fees this quarter from the DP with what they’re already doing with OEMs and they expect that this will add significant revenue to EDIG in 2001 as these products come to market. The launch is the CES in January but they expect other information about what EDIG is doing with OEMs in conjunction with the DP to be announced before then. … EDIG was introduced to DataPlay a year ago by one of the major record labels. EDIG has developed a very good relationship with DataPlay over the last 12 months and that’s why they are so far ahead of the game at this point. … One of the reasons for the $4 million equity investment was because they have so much business and are continuing to staff up on the engineering side that they wanted to make sure that they had plenty of cash to get thru the launches of their technologies as the revenues start to pick up. … The MP2000 is being shipped to Europe and Asia right now. … The QDesign products have been going out to very influential people in the music industry. … They expect other OEMs to announce availability of the MP2000 design this year as well as going into the CES. … They continue to make shipments to Lanier. … The Hango/Remote Solutions JukeBox is expected to start shipping in the January time frame. … Hango/Remote Solutions are working very closely with OEMs that are very interested in taking the JukeBox and those OEMs include PC manufacturers that want to bundle this device with their PCs. … EDIG thinks the JukeBox is going to be a heck of a product. Hango and Remote Solutions are working closely with EDIG. EDIG is also working with OEMs in addition to who Hango/Remote are working with. _______________________________________________________________ From this interview I deduce the following about both revenues and OEMs. Revenues generated this quarter: - DataPlay OEMs engineering fees. - Maycom MP2000 revenues, [shipping to Europe and Asia] - QDesign prototypes shipped. - Lanier shipments OEMs at present for music devices: - OEMs for DataPlay devices. - OEMs for Maycom MP2000 player. [in addition to Maycom itself] - OEMs that Hango/Remote are working with for PJB. [including PC manufacturers] - OEMs that e.Digital is working with for the PJB, [not including the Hango/Remote OEMs] ________________________________________________________________ Some thoughts by me: Falk took the time to specifically describe how just one DP disc can store an entire movie encoded in MPEG 4. Falk mentioned many months ago that they hoped to demo a handheld video player that could play 3 to 5 minutes of video at this year’s shareholders meeting. I’m wondering if they haven’t redesigned that video player prototype to incorportate the DP and make it into a hand held video player for watching movies instead of just music videos and movie shorts. I know that BlockBuster has been working towards downloading movies. Wouldn’t it be nice if they were interested in having a portable video player designed for use with movies recorded on DPs which I feel will be at some time especially with that Content Key technology. Because of this statement by EDIG: A lot of electronics manufacturers are coming to EDIG looking for help to quickly integrate DataPlay technology into their products in time to make the CES in January. Along with the fact that the DataPlay CEO stated that there would be about 30 music players in their booth at CES makes me wonder just how many of them could be “Powered by e.Digital Technology”. It would appear that it could be a fair percentage of them. That coupled with the stated facts that both the Hango JukeBox and other OEMs using the MP2000 will be coming out in January makes me think that we are going to have one heck of a January again.

PT, JimC didn't prove anything. All he has done is made allegations. He hasn't proven it, and he hasn't even provided relevent evidence. He provided copies of posts from two people on Raging Bull, and implied that they were EKN. Simply an allegation. No proof, and no logical argument - or argument of any kind - explaining WHY he thinks these people are EKN. He says it is so because he says it is so. Are we to assume that his conclusions about EDIG are based on a similarly-lacking foundation?
