...I like the idea of the finished DVAP with all the bells and whistles to present to customers rather than the menu approach...cut the decision making time down to a minimum and perhaps step in front of some competitors.
This gives the company an identity that is much more tangible for investors and customers alike. Also I am happy to hear that the KINO business is still expected this fiscal year. They need that second revenue stream....

Darn it, you USC guys get it.
You could not be more correct from my OEM sales experience -- even to the very largest of retail brands and direct retail buyers. The brand guys are the worst. Too many choices only confuse the issue and make for delays in getting a production PO out of the product mgr / buyer. Too many features on multiple products become more time intense and technically difficult -- everybody wants to combine this feature on that thingy to that feature on the thingy over there. Human nature.
I didn`t mention RPs comment about OEMs getting prototypes built, making promises, then nothing happens. Once EDIG`s prototype is completed, the brand takes it into the market as their own design (in their little minds they changed something, so it is theirs) and tries to sell. It doesn`t happen, so they blow off EDIG with only the NRE expenses, if any. That`s where all the ``expects`` and ``soons`` have come from, for better or worse.
I know that song very well and I have stared in the movie -- but I`ve been doing it since I was 25 --just over 20 years now. Time teaches many lessons. I trust there will be zero comminication until the product(s) hit the market. Why bother? The pps goes to $0.09 while waiting on a deal to close and ship? At this point it just does not matter. I know EDIG is keenly aware of the antics of jackass shareholders calling customers. We should KNOW something when the product hits the market and not one minute before, IMO.
EDIG is a speculation stock with a very slick new product targeted to a defined niche market.
Since I`m ``all in,`` I prefer this business model as it has the potential to generate a lot of cash without a lot more overhead. The key is can EDIG sell it to some entity. Today, we do not know and ``expect soon`` is WAY too weak at this point.
As far a shareholders expectations, I guess we will just have to wait.
