With that, I can see 300 mill as no problem....others will have to come up to whatever the level is, or they do not play...and it gets back to what EDIGOKIE commented...."injunctive relief will be requested if companies continue to fight."...LG benifits this process....the higher the settlement....the better they are for it.

IMO, there is a strategy to this settlement, it was too fast to be anything but.

IMO, this effort is more than removable memory issue.

Maycom PR....by the way, thanks Sman you inject just at the right moment.

e.Digital was not really concerned of the music player scene....they were more concerned with the following statement...and so am I.

"Other manufacturers are expected to announce products in the future and companies not normally associated with consumer electronics may enter the market to use portable music players to seed the market for digital music. Our technology will compete with other solutions, however we will focus on markets requiring advanced features and a robust file management system."

IMO, that focus is very much in play.
