re: new product ventures you mentioned...

You have to wonder should EDIG come up with a new product concept/niche, say similar to the digeplayer, would they consider partnering up with a SAMSUNG or LG, to help get the manufacturing and distribution effort done more efficiently and have instant brand name awareness.

Certainly it would cut into their margins but would also eliminate the risk and strain on a company the size of EDIG. The mass production and volume a relationship like that brings would more than make up for sharing the wealth...assuming there is enough of a margin in the first place.

Or have the infringers had enough of EDIG....lol.
