I used to work for e.Digital. (Hence the AC posting) Got laid off in Jan. '02 after Apple demolished their MP3 player business with the iPod. I was wondering what they've been up to lately. It was a small company when I worked there, the engineering team was all of about 8 guys. Most of them had become rich exercising their stock options the year before I started there, paying pennies for stock worth much more than that. Of course, my options were always upside down since they could never break into NASDAQ like they promised me they were on the verge of when I turned down an offer from SAIC to work for them. The year or so that worked for them, I watched a company that didn't really know what they wanted to do, a head of engineering that was either not to be trusted or completely incompetent (not sure which), and a CEO that was trying to take control of a chaotic house. Now they join the ranks of the patent trolls. I hope they get destroyed!
