``The presentation covers digeplayer development from concept to product launch, market opportunities available that embedded systems could not fill, ranking of most popular airline applications for portable IFE devices, side by side business models and economies for airlines, logistics issues, content loading, business jet applications, and next generation portable device features.``

First, sounds like a great sales presentation, with the ``side by side business models and economies for airlines``. We`ve seen that info at the Wencor site, and it is very compelling.

Second, ``next generation portable device features.`` I`ve been under the impression that the next gen digE would be the installed version. This is very interesting - next gen portable. Could the portable be equipped with the card reader? Could it be that this was what EDIG was talking about when they said ``At the request of APS/Wencor, we are enhancing the digEplayer to expedite the content logistics process and expand customer transaction options.``?

Now, if that was the case, then the last PR was totally silent re: installed digE. Not sure what to think of this, other than maybe Atul is just being consistent with the new philosophy of ``say nothing till you got it``. Also makes me wonder where we`re at with the installed version. It`s been about six months since the installed version (presumably with the ``expedite the content logistics process and expand customer transaction options`` issues already addressed) was demo`d at WAEA. But doesn`t it seem weird that it appears there will be no discussion of the (coming) installed version by Wencor/APS at the Hamburg show? Was the installed version NOT well received at WAEA (and DOA)? Too much competition in the installed space?

One last thing: Is this Delta Beta outfit in any way affiliated with Delta Airlines, or just a company name comprised of Greek letters with one in common (maybe Tommeeeek the Greek can help me out here! LOL)?
