Nice find emma!
Lots of excitement for WAEA regarding IFE...and the digEplayer gets more than its share of coverage. Now if it can be translated into exposure for EDIG at some point, we might have that spark we have been anticipating.
``In just two years the handheld IFE segment has come from nowhere to create a new market of its own among the low-cost and specialist carriers, and to nibble at the full-service customer base that the major suppliers of embedded systems have so far had to themselves. One of the big names has been stung into developing a handheld of its own; one of the handheld suppliers is working on a semi-embedded product; and another of the big players has slashed the weight and bulk of its embedded solution. The next 12 months could see the face of IFE hardware development changed beyond recognition.``
