Hope they still have this in mind -

''Q: When will the IFE device be ready for the consumer market?

A: In the beginning, it will not be offered directly to consumers; it will be sold to the airline and travel industry. The first airline customer is contracted with APS, our marketing partner in this business relationship. The entire travel industry is being targeted for this system: cruise ships, car rental agencies, and hotels could all benefit from versions of our IFE system.

We view this as one of the major developments for e.Digital for this year and in years to come. Becoming part of the infrastructure that supports our IFE systems may generate multiple revenue streams for us.

Longer-term, we expect devices derived from our IFE system to be offered to the general consumer market''

FWIW - It was Ittiam that we build the wireless PMP reference design for even before this - believe it may-of-been 02-03.

And Hmmmmmmmm - wonder what they shared.

''Q: Please discuss our PortalPlayer relationship.

A: PortalPlayer is bringing to us qualified customers who are interested in having products developed utilizing the PortalPlayer chipset and e.Digital’s proprietary and patented technologies. As a charter member of the PortalPlayer Design Partners program, e.Digital will perform development services and engineering services for our shared customers. e.Digital expects to derive NRE fees, licensing and royalty fees, and participate in revenue-sharing. ''

And put DGN on the Infrienger list - Don't think they had a PMP platform befor we cam along.

This IFE system is being developed in partnership with our Odyssey 1000 partner Digital way.
Digital way is providing the industrial and mechanical design as they did with our odyssey 1000, and will also provide manufacturing services for the IFE system. Edigital is providing all of the hardware and software engineering.
