Well, there is more to NCII than MicroOS, isn't there? I noticed they were the first to do a lot of things:

First to combine a speaker and microphone with duplex capability and without significant feedback...

First to combine flash memory with a handheld digital voice recording device

First to provide removable storage media with a handheld digital voice recorder

First to break the time barrier with virtually unlimited recording time in a handheld digital voice recorder

First to provide high-speed downloading of voice files from a digital voice recorder to a computer

_

Do all of these "FIRST TOs..." also mean that NCII does not have patents on the things they were first to do? Should I be concerned given IBM's Microdrive and Iomega's n.hand attack on the flash memory market?
