``The Wencor announcement raises many more questions than it answers, starting with how one product range will accommodate both digEplayer and the more capable but physically similar PEA. Informed sources suggest that there will probably be three product lines differentiated by screen size – 7in, 8.9in and 10.4in – and functionality. If that proves to be the case, today’s digEplayer and PEA identities could soon be a thing of the past.``
This is what is said in the Wencor PR:
``The synergies created by combining the two firms will allow us to leverage products across the industry,`` said Brent Wood, CEO of Wencor, ``We will take the best products and services from each firm and develop better entertainment solutions for passengers than exists today.``
To me, that means IMS`s TDL data transfer technology, with the rest of the best being from APS/e.Digital.
