All understandable....
RE: Portal Player.....was a private company during development process of the ipod.
Apple got their share of PortalPlayer before the IPO
Portal Player is now APPLE among other holders....Ipod is an all ARM core development....Apple is ARM.
Maybe Apple/Portal can give BOW a freebie
e.Digital sits with a different set of circumstances.
IMO...it`s going to end soon one way or the other.
