You are right. Knowing the manufacturer makes no difference and history tells jackasses will call / email the manufacturer for numbers that EDIG does not want published at this time.
It is not a good idea to reveal the manufacturing partner in a ODM --> OEM deal. As the ODM, your goal is to keep the customer buying from you and not as a factory direct customer. Many Asian factories do not value the ODM relationship unless it is big volume.
This is one of the reasons EDIG ``closed system`` platform / product has a chance to be sold over any number of other portable digital players.
We don`t much, but Willy`s one direct sale of any number of units is better than Fred / Steve and gang did in several years. Results matter and time will tell us the numbers.
