Mr. Newson said, ``The digEplayer is the world`s first portable
Audio/Video-On-Demand in-flight entertainment system and we are delighted to
be launching this product with Wencor & APS, the leaders in in-flight portable
entertainment systems.`` He further stated, ``It is our plan to offer digEplayer

sophisticated in-flight entertainment system that can hold more than 60 full-
length movies, sitcoms and 10 hours of music content available on customer
demand. The system features current early release movie content from Dream
Works SKG, 20th Century Fox, Warner Brothers and Buena Vista (Disney). Newson
