Hmmm... That may be the most important question of 1999 for EDIG.

EDIG deadlines missed? Walter, I was curious about your allegations that EDIG missed deadlines with Lucent & Lanier. Rather than spending time searching, I emailed EDIG directly to find out! May I suggest, that when you make such statements that could tend to make a few people feel uneasy, that you include the references that PROVE your statement(s) to be true! ====================================================== For the record: ______________________________________________________ (my email to EDIG) Hi Wendy You do a great job! Keep it up! The following was recently posted to the SI thread... Rather me searching, etc. to find out whether there was any substance to it, I thought I'd take the easy way out & just ask you... ------------------------------------------------ EDIG missed its Lucent prototype deadline by a few weeks. They missed the Lanier date by a few months (so far). Is anybody concerned the EDIG may not have a product ready for the market in time for the holidays? ------------------------------------------------ Forget about the question in it... Deadlines missed...? I personally think it's better to deliver a good product a little late than deliver a poor product early or on-time. I eagerly wait for your reply... ______________________________________________________ Reply from EDIG: Thank you for writing. There were no deadlines publicly announced by the company for either of the two generations of music-player prototypes delivered by e.Digital to Lucent. Production units have not begun shipping to Lanier. Beta units have been receiving great reviews from their customers, and when news comes out, the e-mail list will definitely be informed. I hope this information is helpful to you. Best regards, Wendy Ravenel ______________________________________________________ End of record......... ====================================================== Now Walter, please be careful... OK?

There is room for debate that EDIG could miss some deadlines, including holiday deadlines. EDIG may be stretching their resources (personnel) thin but I don't believe it to be a current problem. According to public information, the products which EDIG are lining up to license/produce are derivatives of the product that has been in the making for some time....the Lanier hand held device. Because they are derivative works, the time & energy of personnel will not be as demanding as if the product were a completely separate hardware application for a completely different type of product. And, it seems likely that other devices (ie. Intel prototypes) are derivative of Lucent's. Lanier ----> Lucent -----> Intel? ----> XXXXX The Lanier device is finished. The Lucent device probably doesn't fall far from the tree (twisting a classic saying). And the Intel prototypes aren't likely to fall far from the Lucent device. This tends to support the idea that EDIG can & will make product deadlines on the devices in issue. If a new product is widely different than the portable devices then it is very well possible that EDIG may have to spruce up its personnel line. But, at the moment, this has not yet occurred (although I sure wouldn't complaint if EDIG was contracted to make more/differing products). Chris
