Wencor(now digecor) had digesystem deliveries targeted for as early as last summer and for certain by early `06, as they told me and as I reported here. Since that conversation there has been no announcement of a digesystem customer. Now we hear the digesystem is on hold while they deal with their digeplayer problem.
What`s with Triad? They can`t design the digesystem and a digeplayer at the same time? Sounds more like unhappy customers and losing market share.
``DigEcor made the strategic decision to design and produce the XT portable ahead of the embedded system and amended its contract with Triad in a way that the design of the portable XT would happen first and that the design would incorporate many of the features needed for the embedded system. This proved to be the correct decision as e.digital still has been unable to provide any recovery plan.
The embedded system has not been abandoned but only delayed out of necessity to push the XT launch ahead of the embedded system``
What, there were no other manufacturers on the planet that couldn`t have easily taken over the manufacturing process??? Instead they choose to switch IP partners and then 6 months later bring manufacturing in house at the cost of delaying the digesystem project?
Sounds more like no digesystem customers or digesystem, for that matter.
Not buying it...
