When EDIG gets hot investors need to take notice as this stock has a history of highly explosive moves; Speculators who were around in the late 90's and into 2000 remember the legendary run that EDIG made from pennies to highs of $24 per share. In 2004 EDIG caught fire again running from just over a dime to highs well over $0.60.
e.Digital through its wholly-owned subsidiary under the same owns a valuable portfolio of intellectual property including the Flash-R™ portfolio of patents related to the use of flash memory in portable devices. EDIG also markets a eVU® mobile entertainment system for the travel industry.

Due to a reexamination of these patents EDIG has been unable to license the Flash-R(TM and the Companies once highly lucrative revenue stream dried up completely.
