I believe with Pat now developing new technologies, e.Digital has to sit-back an contemplate the vast number possibilities, priorities and alternatives it has for our future, ergo the ''or we'' ; there is soo much at stake with MicroOS being at the heart of flash and the new encription aspects that not picking the right partner/s could be detrimental in the long-run.
So I'm willing to be patient -
''Per our August 4th press release, should IFE business conditions improve or we partner outside of portable IFE, we can rapidly complete and release the next generation upgrade.''
I could see this, 'partnering outside IFE' smacking at MOS on a chip as me-n-doni quized RP on, not just leisure devices.
