Addressing e.Digital’s recently announced efforts to monetize its flash memory-related patent portfolio, Blakeley commented, “According to research from CLSA Asia-Pacific Markets, global demand for flash memory is expected to reach $25 billion this year, due mainly to the rapid proliferation of handheld devices. We believe the timing and climate are right for us to pursue monetizing our flash memory-related patent portfolio which we believe contains fundamental and valuable claims regarding the use of embedded and removable flash memory in portable devices.”

I certainly do remember the vision for the microOS. It appears that since EDIG got the door slammed in its face with companies like INTEL, among others, after being engaged in early stage development of handheld flashed based devices, it is now forced to enter through the back door, armed with PATENTS and a new PARTNER.

Should the evaluation process proceed with success, and early indications suggest so far--so good, early envisioned expectations may just be met.

That`s the bet/question and if ptsc`s experience is an indicator of what lies ahead, this may turn out OK.

In the meantime, it`s business as usual...lol, waiting for news on the eVU.
