July 14, 2005 – CALIFORNIAN-based e.Digital Corporation, which handles manufacture of the digEplayer handheld system for APS/Wencor, has signalled its determination to stay in the IFE business following the reorganisation that will follow Wencor’s acquisition of another handheld provider, IMS (Inflight Online, July 8).

“We look forward to continuing digEplayer orders and supporting APS/Wencor’s growing leadership in the IFE industry,” e.Digital CEO Atul Anandpura said yesterday. He also announced that the company had shipped over $750,000-worth of Ethernet-enabled digEplayers to APS/Wencor since the beginning of the month, with more to come in the rest of the quarter.

Sure would like to see more press directed at e.Digital. I expect more airlines to be announced and perhaps something from Wencor on their embedded system`s progress.
