Some interesting stuff in there. Twenty airlines, and we only think we KNOW 18 (per edigerati; though I don`t think I`d include both JetStar and JetStar Asia as two separate entities). That means at least two more out there, unknown, with ``more to be announced``.

Now, have we got another error prone reporter, or is something strange here? (and this is in the digEplayer part): ``Each device is easy to use, lightweight, and customizable. With the choice of a 40, 60, or 80 gigabyte hard drive, or the 7``, 8``, or 10`` screens you can order, airlines never have to worry about running out of viewing space or room for content.`` 8`` and 10`` screens? Are the units a little bigger overall or what? Only concern is that, as I recall, IMS had 8`` and 10`` screen sizes, but in a lap-top configuration. But it seems the digE could easily be reconfigured to accomodate a larger screen size (and more memory). And EDIG may have jumped on this to trump IMS last summer.

The tone is positive overall. Interesting too that Beeston will apparently continue in his role over Wencor Europe, plus take on digEcor. This implies that the more recent business, and possibly big business, is in the European theatre (just from the logic standpoint).

So, positive (I like the word ``accelerate``), but with some unexplained weirdness.

And I KNOW nuttin`!
