Fred "we" want $$$

Well, that's what they are trying to do. In beating companies utilizing the selective leveraging of technology as "open and royalty free".

Nothing is for free, it's all mental massage therapy when reading something like that.

RE: Bhatt comments...

“If computers are seen to be easy, then we’ll sell more computers, and as part of that, we’ll sell more chips. It’s a much bigger picture that Intel saw,”

"So is there ever going to be another technology that becomes as ubiquitous as the USB?"

Yes, and e.Digital got nothing for it...where Intel had a vested interest in it, once upon a time, through VoiceTimes and other agreements.

Intel wanted it on their terms...for next to nothing....as I see it, e.Digital said NO.

Perhaps we will get paid for using it in the best way.... at the top of e.Digitals invented food chain....Network collection, transmission and shared processing.

I'm not worrying about what e.Digital does @ this time....I'll wait to see how the legal issues might pan out in leveraging any positive results.

The story is simply not over.... no matter how hard it is to endure.

Intel and others will not give anything away for free fashioning e.Digital tech as a "de facto standard" if e.Digital can successfully defend its position .
