``EchoStar also will introduce 3 portable media players containing 20, 30 and 40 GB hard drives that are capable of storing programming transferred via a USB 2.0 connection from a satellite receiver, Jackson said. Pricing hasn`t been set, but the players, which use a Linux operating system, are being sourced from Archos, a French company in which EchoStar purchased a $9.3 million equity stake in the last week. The players also will contain 7``, 4`` and 2.2`` LCD screens.``

Unless Archos licensed tech from us for these, EchoStar is not in the offing for EDIG (based on the above, IMO).
