Does EDIG have any close competitors? Not to my knowledge. What EDIG has is an operating system for compact digital devices called the MicroOS file management system. Looks as though it will be made the industry standard that makes these digital devices communicate with the embedded microprocessor much more efficiently saving memory etc. LU has already adopted it for their EPAC compression technology using TXN's brand new DSP's. Intel and IBM are in the mix too and may also adopt the MicroOS. Lanier has already done so, in fact we are about to ship their hand held digital recorder that has tts/stt capabilities and interfaces with a PC and/or the internet. I am now thinking even MP3 will adopt it if they want to change their compression for their music player using a secure format. Most everyone will want to comply with the RIAA/SDMI standards IMO if they are to survive. The big music companies will never allow their clients (musicians on contract) to release recordings on an unprotected format. This is JMHO but I've bet the house on it. Cheers.
