Hi,
Wickerl, hast wieder mal einen neuen Thread eröffnet!
Dein Thema ist zugegebener Weise sehr interessant, da auch aus meiner Sicht der Audiobereich eine herrliche Zukunft vor sich hat. Aber warum nimmst du
EDIG in deiner Auswahl auf, das kannst du uns OBJXlern nicht antun!
Ich denke auch, das OBJX den Boden erreicht hat. Meiner Einschätzung nach kommen in den nächsten Monaten einige News, welche den Kurs sicherlich beflügeln werden.

Dein Chart verändert sich laufend, war wohl nicht im Sinne des Erfinders?

Hi,
Schuhlos,
Informationen über OBJX bekommst du jede Menge hier in den OTC-Threads. Ich will versuchen das wichtigste für dich zusammen zu fassen:

Interactive Objects ist noch ein sehr kleines Unternehmen, wurde von ehemaligen Microsoft-Mitarbeitern gegründet und hat im April 1999 sein Audio-Format "Windows Streaming Media" an Microsoft verkauft. Dieses Format ist von iObjects entwickelt worden, um Audio-Daten über das Netz zu laden und abzuspielen - vergleichbar mit MP3. Microsoft arbeitet hart an der Marktführerschaft im Video- und Audio-Softwarebereich (MediaPlayer), unterstütz somit aktiv iObjects Ziel die "Marktführerschaft für mobile Audio-Betriebssyteme" zu erreichen. Iobjects hat das richtige Marktsegment ausgesucht, den es drängen sich ständig neue Hersteller mit ihren Geräten auf den "Weltmarkt MP3" und auch in Deutschland wird es sicherlich bald drunter und drüber gehen. Dank der Rezession werden Chips, Speichermedien... - alles was man für mobile Audiogeräte benötigt - immer günstiger. Von der rasanten Entwicklung kannst du dir in Zeitschriften, Katalogen oder im Internet selbst ein Bild machen.

Vielversprechend ist aus meiner Sicht die Hardwareplattform "Dharma" von iObjects und die Zusammenarbeit mit Microsoft, Cirruslogik, Trans World , SRS-Labors, PoGo, Nikko und iOmega. Nicht nur die Audio-Technik sonder auch die Kombination mit MPEG-2, die Integration von Bluetooth- oder Powerline-Technologien werden derzeitig in Produkten mit ihren Partner realisiert, oft in einer rasanten Entwicklungszeit von weniger als 3 Monaten.

IObjects hat einige neue Produkte, auch eigene, angekündigt. Bis Weihnachten dürfen wir einiges erwarten.

Eines ist sicher: Gelingt es dem Unternehmen tatsächlich seinen eingeschlagenen Weg einzuhalten, steht die Aktie gerade erst am Anfang einer traumhaften Entwicklung.

Wie allen Aktien des Technologiesektors, welche schon seit Monaten von Gewinnwarnungen, Kurseinbrüchen und Entlassungen negativ geprägt ist, wurde auch iObjects von Kursverlusten nicht verschont.

servus,
ich kann leider nicht viel über EDIG sagen, habe aber gerade folgendes von Lucile gefunden:
http://ragingbull.lycos.com/mboard/boards.cgi?board=OBJX&rea…
*IF* we had a board here, made up of "Extreme Olympic Dot-Connectors", it would not even
be a "stretch", to see that I-Objects has trumped our next door "Cult" stock company again,
by linking up with Remote Solutions/HanGo/Pogo products.

Once again, as I did last quarter, I will predict that I-Objects will have greater revenues to
report in the coming quarter.

With only about 5% of the Market Cap. ($7 $Million vs. $140 $Million), more cash, fewer
employees, actual licensing revenue and actual DAP`s on the shelf, I-Objects is quietly
performing, while the Cult is still looking for their first Digital Audio Product, after 3 years of
nothing but promises that are actually just bald-faced lies.

Compare:

http://biz.yahoo.com/p/o/objx.ob.html
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/e/edig.ob.html

(the comparisons are simply "ludicrous", IMO)

Although there are compelling value stocks on the major exchanges that should capture the
interest of long term investors, there is simply no rational reason for e.Digital to be selling at
twenty times the value of I-Objects. Eventually, over time, the market will correct this disparity.


"When" that will happen is anybody`s guess. Until I-Objects shows a significant "book value", I
cannot endorse buying it, except for those with "extreme high risk capital" available to them.
From reading these boards and watching the general market, I would say the number of
investors that fit that definition has dramatically shrunk over the past year-and-a-half.

I think there is a very high likelyhood that I-Objects will be credited with having done work for
Microsoft on the roll-out of their new Pocket PC products.

Meantime, I-Objects needs to at least become "cash-flow positive" and the chances are 40
times greater that they will achieve this result ahead of the Poway Bowser. In fact, if I may
borrow a predictive phrase from the thoroughly discredited "TWO-MILLY-VANILLY".......


"I expect in the next 1-8 weeks that the share price of I-Objects will cross-over e.Digital`s,
although share price is not the metric by which these two companies should be judged."

The comparison between I-Objects and e.Digital should be based on "promises kept", and by
that standard Dennis Tevlin & Company stand head-and-shoulders above the Putnam-Falk Duo.

The only thing that e.Digital has succeeded in "embedding", is a string of outright lies in their communications with investors.

Hallo Jungs,

in Ergänzung zu meinen Spazen.

Hoffentlich sind wir im richtigen Trend.

Michi

[Brummbär]

Hi,
Wickerl,

Ask jetzt bei $0.68 - wird ja auch langsam Zeit.
Mit deiner Chartanalyse hast du absolut Recht, könnte ein glatter Durchbruch sein.

Kathy hat meine Fragen heute erhalten. Hier die englische Version:

1. Microsoft appear to be a very important partner for iObjects. However, I have the impression that the co-operation is much more intensive than the public thinks. Which projects were completed in the last six months, and which projects are currently being worked on?

2. The combination of audio and video compression seems interesting. UMTS will be introduced in Europe next year. UMTS is comparable with the Japanese FOMA, and is to be used for the mobile downloading of pieces of music, videos and pictures. Will iobjects raise itself to this challenge?

3. Extensive projects were agreed upon with Nikko, Inari and SRS. When will we see the first products?

Hoffentlich habe ich mich nicht vertan. Wenn du Lust hast, kannst du die Fragen für mich in`s RB reinstellen - da ist gerade eh nichts los.
Gruß,
Brummbär

[Brummbär]

Hi Michi,

SPAZ ist mittlerweile auch für mich ein sehr interessantes Papier. Ich finde Wickerl`s Tread äußerst praktisch, da einerseits der Audio-Sektor sicherlich sehr lukrativ sein wird und dadurch besser selektiert werden kann und andererseits durchaus weitere aussichtsreiche Kaufkandidaten durch User-Beiträge hinzukommen könnten.

Ich habe deine Beiträge zu SPAZ nur ganz kurz überflogen (sorry), es hat jedoch ausgereicht, um mir von dir ein Bild zu machen. Ich würde mich sehr freuen, wenn du in Kurzform etwas zu SPAZ schreiben würdest. Es währe eine Bereicherung für diesen Traed.

Gruß,

[Sarrefranz]

Hallo Leute,
nur keine Hektik, weil OBJX nun mal etwas Boden gutmacht. Bei den großen Umsätzen der vergangen Tage als der Kurs Aktien haben sich einige eingedeckt, viel werden sich wohl von OBJX trennen und verkaufen, so dass diese Kurssteigerungen nicht von langer Dauer sind. Ich hoffe für uns, das ich Unrecht habe und wir mal langsam wieder eine 1 vorm Komma sehen.
In diesem Zusammenhang würde mich mal die Meinung von Mr. Tevlin interessieren, wie er sich erklärt, dass OBJX bei den Tiefstkursen der vergangen Woche noch mit guten Umsätze dabei war, wer seiner Meinung nach die Verkäufer sind, wieso seine so gut dastehende AG zu diesen Kursen verkauft wurde?
PS: wie bescheiden ich bei OBJX geworden bin, eine 1 vorm Komma :-)
grüsse Sarrefranz

[Sarrefranz]

Hallo Leute, ich noch mal,
in Ffm heute Umsatz von 5000 zu 0,5 Cent, die letzten Tage war kein Umsatz in Ffm und nun das alles heute. Wissen da Leute mehr als wir oder ist das Zufall? dass gerade heute in Ffm sich ein Käufer für die 5000 findet und in den USA der Kurs steigt? Auch wenn der Verkäufer zu 0,5, wenn man den Kurs der AG die letzten Tage verfolgt hat, irgendwie die Nerven verloren haben muss als er zu dem Preis verkaufte.
Gruss Sarrefranz

[TheCooleWickerl]

Brummbär, danke für deine nachricht von Kathy
ich bin glücklich, bis auf EDIG alle im plus!

Hi,
für die Freunde von iObjects habe ich vielleicht, die meisten werden es sicherlich schon gelesen haben, etwas erfreuliches:

1. Kathy hat schon eine erste Reaktion auf ihre Fragen erhalten. Es muss eine sehr umfangreiche Liste geworden sein, die auch Dennis, so bald er Zeit hat, beantworten will. Er ist jedoch zur Zeit sehr beschäftigt, arbeitet wesentlich mehr als normal und das riecht stark nach News!
Dennis: "This will take some time and right now I`m working at 150% capacity. I`ll do my best but this is our busiest time of the year..... "

2. Trans World Entertaiment hat eine Gewinnwarnung herausgebracht aber das Management ist offensichtlich zuversichtlich und erwartet, aufgrund der Einführung einer von iObjects entwickelten Software, eine Erhöhung der Netto-Einnahmen für 2002.

Spatializer Audio Laboratories Inc. Introduces Its Next
Generation Audio Enhancement Technology, Spatializer(R)
PCE(TM)

Spatializer PCE (Phase Corrected Equalization) Polishes and More Clearly
Defines Both Dialog and Music Through Any Ordinary Set of Television or
Home Theater Speakers, While Simultaneously Enveloping the Listener in an
Immersive Surround Sound Field

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Oct. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Accelerating its efforts to address the needs of
today`s audio consumer by bringing impressive next-generation audio enhancement solutions to market,
Spatializer Audio Laboratories Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: SPAZ - news) announced today the
availability of Spatializer PCE for licensing to consumer electronics manufacturers and chip foundries
world-wide.

/Photo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20010525/LAF026LOGO /

With Spatializer PCE, high frequencies are clearer, crisper and more brilliant while low frequencies are
more dramatic, tighter and have more impact. Spatializer PCE gives the manufacturer an inexpensive
way to dramatically improve the sound of low-end loudspeakers, such as the kind found in televisions,
boom boxes and computers.

Spatializer PCE is also ideal for improving the quality of Internet audio, which can sound rather
lackluster and dull due to compression or low bit rates. It can be applied prior to encoding audio
streams, and can just as easily enhance the playback of the decompressed audio. In addition to
improving the clarity, intelligibility and impact of both dialog and music, Spatializer PCE includes the
Company`s renowned surround sound technology used by both leading consumer electronics
manufacturers and award-winning recording engineers and artists. The result is a listening experience
that combines the best attributes of ``high definition audio`` techniques with an exceptionally wide and
immersive sound stage.

Spatializer PCE works by both modifying and smoothing non-linear phase response and by creating
psycho-acoustic cues. Typical equalization techniques cause phase distortion (non-zero group delay)
due to non-linear phase response. Spatializer PCE has a nearly-linear phase response, which results in a
near-zero group delay. This improves the ``naturalness,`` or transparency of the dialog or music by not adding to phase distortion already
present in many playback systems. The psycho-acoustic cues are interpreted by the brain as sounds emanating from virtual speaker
sources. Spatializer PCE can be custom tailored for two or an array of speaker configurations. Indeed, the technology, without a surround
sound effect, can enhance single speaker applications as well.

``This product marks a quantum leap in the evolution of our core surround sound technology,`` stated Henry R. Mandell, Chairman and
CEO of Spatializer Audio Laboratories. ``Consumers are asking for and expecting more natural, involving and lifelike audio from the
digital audio revolution. Manufacturers are keen on delivering these benefits, but struggle with the cost or logistics of enhanced speaker
systems, particularly in televisions and small stereo systems. By combining the latest developments in psycho-acoustics, dialog and music
signal polishing and definition, we have created a new product which we believe will exceed our customer`s expectation for both a ``high
definition`` and immersive audio experience in a single cost effective solution,`` concluded Mr. Mandell.

Spatializer PCE is a digital technology which has been ported and is available on the Texas Instruments C55x DSP generation. Another
advantage of the Spatializer PCE algorithm is that it has very low processing requirements so that it can readily be run on most leading
DSPs or RISC processors. Implementation in analog is also under development. More information is available by contacting Randy
Roscoe, Spatializer`s Vice President, Sales and Marketing at [e-mail] or at 408-296-0600, ext. 202.

[Brummbär]

Hi Andy,
ich habe da eine eMail von einen Freund erhalten. Stammt das von dir? Kannst du in Kurzform über Spazi berichten?

"Es war 1982 und die Beach Boys sangen. Toningenieur Stephen Desper war "verzweifelt". Wieso wollte der wunderbare Surf Sound vom Band nicht so klingen wie er es live hörte? Besessen von der Idee es besser zu machen, entwickelte er zehn Jahre später den ersten Spatializer, der Raumklänge hörbar machte. So wird die Geschichte zumindest von Spatializer auf der hauseigenen Website kolportiert. Ob Wahrheit oder nicht, die Spatializer-Tools der Kalifornier sind gesucht, besonders bei Herstellern von DVD-Geräten. Apple, Panasonic oder JVC setzen die Technik ein, um ihre Player noch einen Tick besser klingen zu lassen. Das Leben hätte so einfach sein können
Mit dem Einstieg Einstieg in die Digitaltechnik, bsonders in den Bereich DVD rettete sich Spatializer 1999 aus einer selbst verschuldeten Misere. Denn die Firma hatte in der ersten Hälfte der 90er schon einmal verheißungsvoll begonnen. Doch die beabsichtigte Revolutionierung der Datenspeicherung durch die Tochter MultiDisc Technologies scheiterte. 1998 musste man die Notbremse ziehen. Zwei Jahre zuvor hatten sich die Kosten verachtfacht, der Verlust pro Aktie war auf zwei Dollar angeschwollen, 1997 verdoppelten sich die Forschungskosten und 1998 brachen auch noch die Umsätze um 40% ein. Anscheinend hatte man sich so in die MultiDisc-Technik verrant, dass man einfach vergessen hatte, die Spatializer-Technik konsequent zu vermarkten.

Neustart mit DVD
Im Rahmen der neuen Strategie begann man die eigene Technik vor allem für DVD- und MP3-Player weiter zu entwickeln. Im DVD-Player-Bereich sieht man sich mit einigem Recht bereits als "de-facto-Standard". Die Turnaroundstory ist perfekt. Bei moderat wachsenden Umsätzen wurde die Verschuldung abgebaut und sogar bereits wieder Gewinne erzielt. Doch der Konjunktureinbruch zur Jahreswende 2000/01 beutelte das Unternehmen. Konnte CEO Henry Mandell im ersten Quartal sich immerhin noch damit trösten, profitabel geblieben zu sein, steuert man im zweiten Quartal nach eigenen Angaben auf einen Verlust zu. Den Grund sieht man in der anhaltenden Schwäche des Halbleiter- und PC-Sektors.

Steiniger Weg
Auch auf dem MP3-Markt kommt man langsamer voran als erhofft. Schuld daran seien Konstruktions- und Datensicherheitsbedenken, vor allem bei japanischen Herstellern. Außerdem begnügen sich die Produktionsfirmen nicht mehr mit Präsentationen, sondern verlangten mittlerweile eine Demonstration am tatsächlichen Chip. Auch dies ist sicherlich eine Folge des Ende des High-Tech-Booms. Es wird schärfer gerechnet, ob sich Investitionen in neue (Zusatz-)Technik wirklich in Zahlen lohnt.

Typische Zulieferer-Situation
Spatializer hat letztlich die typische Situation eines High-Tech-Zulieferers. Das Unternehmen verfügt über einen gewissen Technologievorsprung. Aber es ist von den Zyklen der Endgerätebranche abhängig. Geht es dieser nicht gut, werden sofort die Margen gedrückt bzw. ganz auf zusätzliche Technik verzichtet. Denn eines ist sicher: Der DVD-Player läuft auch ohne Spatializer. Vielleicht klingt er nicht so gut, aber die Herstellung ist billiger. Die derzeitigen konjunkturell bedingten Probleme müssen überwunden werden. Die Durststrecke könnte aber länger sein. Die Frage muss gestellt werden, wie lange Spatializer das durchhalten kann, vor allem weil man im Grunde die Marketingausgaben ausweiten müsste. diese Ausgaben wurden bereits mit der Küdigung des Vertrages mit MDC Gruppe gesengt Wenn im zweiten Halbjahr keine Wende eintritt, könnte es kritisch werden, weil das Unternehmen immer noch ein akkumuliertes Defizit von rund 45 Millionen Dollar vor sich herschiebt. Wir haben noch Geld in der Kriegskasse das uns noch einige Zeit über Wasser halten kann und sollte, den wir nehmen ja auch noch Geld durch die Verkäufe von Lizensen ein Langfristig ist ein Kursanstieg erst dann drin, wenn man Fuss in anderen Märkten außer DVD fassen kann. da kann mann nur den Cirrus Logic Vertrag erwähnen MP3 Player Markt und die Einführung von Stream FX Digital ;-)

In diesem Sinne warten und Tee trinken aber ich bin mir sicher das wir noch alle auch "Andy" positiv überacht werden von Spatializer..."

Brummbär

Wer sich für SPAZ interessiert sollte sich mal etwas auf deren Homepage umschauen http://www.spatializer.com/, besonders unter Investors&Media, Presse Archiev unter Technology die Produkte und LIsten now sich die Audiobeispiele anhören.

Risiko bei SPAZ sind die outstanding shares, knapp 50Millionen und die scheinbar doch knappen Lizenzmargen.
Der unitpreis liegt bei ca. 0,2$. Es liegen aber keine offiziellen Zahlen vor.

SPAZ ist bestens positioniert(in den News nach den hochkarätigen Vertragspartnern schauen), die Frage ist, ob sich deren Produkte auf dem Markt letztendlich durchsetzen können.
Im DVD-Playermarkt haben sie einen Anteil von gut 40%.
Hier die Verkaufszahlen für die USA/Kanada.

Was an der der letzten PR für mich u.a. absolut positiv ist, scheint die enge Zusammenarbeit mit Texas Instruments.

Hi Karo,

vielen Dank für deine Ausführungen, auch für deinen Risiko-Hinweis.
Kann man davon ausgehen, dass SPAZ in kürze (2-4 Wochen) einige News bezüglich neue Produkte und das bevorstehende Weihnachtsgeschäft bringen wird?

Gruß,
Brummbär

[karo1]

Hello Brummbär, es scheint sich was zu tun...Ich denke es wird noch einiges kommen,imo, aber es sind in den letzten Wochen wirklich eine Reihe von bemerkenswerten News gekommen, auf die der Kurs nicht reagiert hat.
Nun das Problem sind die Margen und SPAZ hat die hohen Erwartungen in den letzten Qs enttäuscht. Viele starren jetzt auf die Q3, die Anfang November kommen werden.
Wir sollten nicht allzu viel erwarten, lass mich aber gerne überraschen.

Wie gesagt, SPAZ ist bestens positioniert und es dauert noch Zeit bis wir sehen, ob SPAZ sich durchsetzt.

Momentan sind bid und ask wieder angezogen, 18 zu 21Cent
Es könnte etwas im Busch zu sein, vielleicht hat es mit Apple zu tun.

schön ist die Musik Box
ich baue stark darauf
ich denke vor weihnachten kommt die version für @ALL und der preis zum downloaden könnte bei 10 bis 15$ liegen.
bei 147 mio I-Netnutzer weltweit sollten 1 mio hängen bleiben (downloaden) und somit 10mio bis 15 mio zusätzlicher umsatz
es hängt auch von der verkaufsstrategie der Muik Box ab
fremdvermarkten bei AOL,YAHOO oder LYCOS würde SPAZ sehr gut tun

lade dir mal den Beta test runter

Hi,

Hallo,
Also Cirrus Logic und Spatializer arbeiten eh zusammen, zu SPAZ-Microsoft habe ich keine Anhaltspunkte. Aber momentan spielt Apple eine Rolle.
Für nächsten Dienstag kündigt Apple

Beim Kauf sollten HiFi-Fans in die Zukunft investieren / Große Trendanalyse von "AUDIO": Surround ist der Blue Chip der Zukunft / Selb
Stuttgart (ots) - Wie auf dem Aktienmarkt lauern auch in der Unterhaltungselektronik eine Reihe von Flops auf ihre Investoren. HiFi-Fans sollten deshalb beim Kauf von Anlagen und Komponenten heute schon wissen, was morgen noch angesagt ist. Die wichtigsten Entwicklungen hat "AUDIO" (Nr. ANZEIGE

11, EVT 19.10.2001) jetzt in einem Trendbarometer analysiert. Danach heißt der Blue Chip unter allen vielversprechenden Unterhaltungselektronik-Trends Surround. Wer heute kauft, so die Zeitschrift, sollte in die Integration einer Surround-Anlage investieren - am besten mit einer Multi-Room-Option. Der Käufer komme so in den Genuss vergnüglicher Heimkino-Abende und könne zukünftige Neuerungen nach und nach ergänzen.

Dabei sind die Zauberworte der künftigen Entwicklungen "digital" und "Vernetzung": Mit fast jeder Neuerung rücken die Audio- und Video-Welten ein Stück näher an den PC heran. Integrierte Lösungen zählen zu den Gewinnern, genauso wie MP3, DVD-R oder DVD-Audio. Die großen Verlierer der Zukunft sind die herkömmliche Audio-Kassette und der VHS-Recorder. Aber auch das digitale MD Home konnte sich gegen CD-R nicht durchsetzen. Anders ein Fossil der HiFi-Technik: Röhrenverstärker, die wegen ihrer schönen Optik eine Renaissance erleben und - wie auch die analoge Technik - in Zukunft nicht so schnell von der Bildfläche verschwinden werden. Für alle Anlagen gilt: Die Farbe Schwarz ist endgültig out, Aluminium ist in.

Noch nicht auf dem absteigenden Ast, aber langsam in die Jahr kommt die CD. DVD-, SACD- und CD-Komi-Player und das wachsende mehrkanalige Softwareangebot bereiten den Nachfolgern schon den Boden. In manchen Preisklassen ist der CD-Player-Neukauf bereits wenig ratsam. Doch die CD-Sammlung dürfte - Horrormeldungen über Alterserscheinungen zum Trotz - ewig Bestand haben. Das Manko der meisten bahnbrechenden Neuheiten ist der hohe Preis für ihre Software. Abwarten spart hier bares Geld und schlechte Erfahrungen. Denn sicher ist, so "AUDIO", die Preise fallen konstant mit steigender Verbreitung.

Der Spiele-Sektor steht vor den entscheidenden Monaten des Geschäftsjahres. In wenigen Wochen werden die neuen Spiele-Konsolen auf den Markt gelangen. Dann wird sich zeigen, ob die Hoffnungen der Hard- und Softwarehersteller berechtigt sind oder nicht.

In wenigen Wochen wird das Spiele-Trio komplett sein. Voraussichtlich am 15. November vollzieht die X-Box aus dem Hause Microsoft den Markteintritt. Drei Tage später folgt die GameCube von Nintendo. Zusammen mit der seit rund einem Jahr erhältlichen Playstation 2 von bilden die drei die so genannte zweite Generation der Spielekonsolen.

Microsoft and Trans World Entertainment Announce
Broad-based Business, Technology and Marketing Alliance to
Deliver Enhanced Shopping Experience For FYE Customers

Trans World`s FYE Brand to Use Microsoft Technologies to Provide
Industry-Leading Personalization and Advanced Customer Relationship
Management; FYE to be Online Music and Video Retailer on MSN Shopping

REDMOND, Wash. and ALBANY, N.Y., Oct. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Microsoft Corp. (Nasdaq:
MSFT - news) and Trans World Entertainment Corp. (Nasdaq: TWMC - news) today announced a
comprehensive business, technology and marketing alliance involving the integration of Microsoft®
.NET, Windows® XP, Windows Media(TM) and MSN® technologies into Trans World`s 700
``FYE`` branded music and video retail outlets across the United States, as well as its fye.com Web site.
(Photo: NewsCom: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20000822/MSFTLOGO
http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20011022/SFM090 )

FYE, the nation`s largest mall-based specialty retailer of music and video products, will employ
Microsoft .NET technologies, Windows Media technology and the Windows XP operating system to
deliver a richer music-shopping experience for FYE customers both in-store and online. Through its
``eWorks`` initiative, FYE will deploy more than 25,000 Windows XP-based listening and viewing
stations and kiosks in its stores, using Windows Media to provide high-quality audio and video
samplings. The ``eWorks`` initiative will also feature .NET technologies such as .NET Passport
authentication, single sign-in service and .NET My Services platform to deliver personalized
recommendations and services to participating customers. In addition, FYE will become the premier
online music and video retailer on MSN Shopping as well as a music partner for Windows XP,
Microsoft`s next-generation operating system.

``We are incredibly excited at the opportunity to work with Trans World and FYE, the nation`s leading
music and video retailer, to deliver a much richer and more personal user experience for their millions of
customers both in-store and online,`` said Steve Ballmer, chief executive officer at Microsoft. ``This is a
compelling and tangible example of how next-generation software such as .NET, Windows XP and
Windows Media can provide value for large consumer-focused businesses like FYE and the customers
they serve. With such technologies, Trans World will be on the leading edge of delivering a new user
experience for its customers.``

``The alliance between FYE and Microsoft, two industry leaders, marks an important milestone for Trans World, as well as a significant
step forward in our combined ability to address the changing demands of America`s music consumers,`` said Bob Higgins, chairman and
CEO of Trans World Entertainment. ``For FYE, it`s a validation of our position as the market leader in music sales and an endorsement of
the strength of our `eWorks` initiative. For our customers it means that FYE will enjoy Microsoft`s industry-leading technologies and the
innovative capabilities of Windows XP, Windows Media, MSN and .NET to deliver an unmatched entertainment experience.``

.NET and FYE`s ``Backstage Pass``

Building on Microsoft .NET technologies such as Passport and the .NET My Services platform, FYE announced that it will soon launch
its ``Backstage Pass`` loyalty program. In addition to transforming customers` music-shopping experience by making it easier and faster,
this will create the music industry`s most robust and comprehensive customer relationship management system. Through the Microsoft
Passport authentication service, FYE will be able to provide tailored offerings to customers and richer personalization online and in-store.

Participating FYE ``Backstage Pass`` members will receive personalized messages and product offerings, including recommendations
based on their preferences and interests. Information about a user`s preferences or musical tastes will follow consumers from FYE`s
listening and viewing stations to their retail and online purchases. Those consumers who choose to sign up for the ``Backstage Pass``
service will be able to access their profile through a swipe of their ``Backstage Pass`` loyalty card. This profile will offer the user helpful
information about recent purchases, and they can update their listening or viewing habits to improve recommendations for new releases
and archived classics.

``Our business is really about connecting customers to fun and entertainment. Where, how and why consumers purchase music has
changed dramatically. This new FYE and Microsoft alliance will directly address these changing preferences by providing a new and
exciting way to purchase music and experience entertainment across multiple channels and consumer touch-points,`` Higgins said. ``It will
also enable FYE to substantially enhance our customer relationship management programs through our unique ability to capitalize on the
personalization and the leading edge software services of Windows XP and .NET. Whether it`s providing users with deeper access to all
titles through our store-based kiosks, the ability to sample music tracks through our listening stations or our ability to offer customers more
relevant and timely information, we expect this new technology to drive increased sales and profitability.``

eWorks Initiative

Windows XP, Windows Media and Microsoft .NET technologies will power FYE`s ``eWorks`` initiative designed to offer consumers the
most personal entertainment experience in-store and online via next-generation listening and viewing stations, kiosks, FYE`s ``Backstage
Pass`` loyalty program and industry-leading customer relationship management initiatives. For example, Windows XP technology will allow
FYE to individually tailor the shopping experience for consumers both online and in-store. The ``eWorks`` initiative positions FYE as the
industry leader in the areas of customization and personalization of entertainment, including emerging wireless applications and digital
downloading. For example, FYE`s ``eWorks`` initiatives offer comprehensive product samplings that provide the ability for customers to
digitally preview any item in inventory. Through the ``eWorks`` program, FYE and Microsoft will jointly create and deliver software
applications.

Windows Powered In-Store Experience

The centerpiece of FYE`s in-store music experience will be more than 25,000 industry-leading listening and viewing stations built on
Microsoft Windows XP and Windows Media technology, offering consumers a revolutionary new shopping experience through the
``Backstage Pass`` program. Through these listening and viewing stations, consumers will have the ability to sample music and videos, as
well as preview any selection stocked in the store.

And, with more than 1,000 new Windows XP-powered kiosks, consumers will be able to search and browse FYE`s entire library,
sample music, and order and ship normally hard-to-find selections. Both the Windows XP-powered kiosks and listening stations are
scheduled to be rolled out to FYE locations over the next year. Initial locations include the company`s flagship store in midtown Manhattan
near Rockefeller Center, as well as locations in Detroit, Hartford, Conn., Seattle and Tampa, Fla.

fye.com

Trans World`s online destination, http://www.fye.com/, which launched earlier this month, will become the premier online music and video
retailer on MSN Shopping, making it the preferred site for music news, new releases and contemporary favorites.

Joint Marketing

The FYE and Microsoft alliance also will include significant marketing, advertising and promotional initiatives to create a premier music
experience with FYE, support the rollout of the FYE brand, help drive traffic to FYE locations and fye.com, and support Windows XP
launch activities on Oct. 25.

Trans World/FYE

Trans World Entertainment is a leading specialty retailer of music and video products. The company operates retail stores, including 700
mall-based FYE locations in 46 states, the District of Columbia, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico and an e-commerce site, fye.com.

thema MSFT ist eine spekulation: SRSL soll auf Eis gelegt worden sein und nun wäre platz für SPAZ
thema nintendo ist sehr einfach, Nintendo hat noch keinen 3D Sound und somit auch Platz für SPAZ
Sony bastelt seit jahren rum bekommt es aber nicht richtig in den Griff und somit auch Platz für SPAZ
fazit: sollte eine der drei firmen SPAZ nehmen geht der kurs wie bei den aktuellen anthrax-bio firmen am tag X durch die decke.
somit ist ein einstieg vorm tag X nicht gerade das dümmste.

Hallo Leute, hallo pusherking,
ist Dein Name bei Dir Programm oder ist das alles (D)eine uneigennützige Meinung was Du hier veröffentlichst? Bei Aktienempfehlungen deren Kurs bei 0,17$ liegt und der Umsatz gerade mal zwischen 20.000 und 30.000 Stück, kommt bei mir der Gedanke des pushens auf. Dazu möchte ich sagen, das der OBJX Tread in der Vergangenheit eigentlich ohne pushen auskam und denke das es besser wäre, wenn es so bliebe. Sollte ich mich täuschen über Deine Bewegründe und die einiger anderer, so bitte ich diesen Kommentar zu entschuldigen.
Gruss Sarrefranz

[Brummbär]

Hi,
Sarrefranz,
ich empfinde die Beiträge von unseren SPAZEN lediglich ein Tick zu bullish, teilweise unbegründet, jedoch ganz brauchbar. Im Grunde sind die hier in Ordnung und haben, aus meiner Sicht, die gegenwärtige Situation von SPAZ doch ganz gut rüber gebracht. Danke!

Ich als sehr bullish eingestellter iObjects Shareholder schau ganz gespannt auf das, was in den nächsten 4 Wochen an News kommen wird. Ich kann nur spekulieren, aber Microsoft und iObjects arbeiten offensichtlich sehr eng zusammen. Für mein empfinden kommt da zu wenig ans Tageslicht aber vielleicht sehe ich mittlerweile Zusammenhänge, die es real gar gibt.
Hier könnte iObjects mitgewirkt haben:

Hi Andy und hi DNAPSPAZ.

Wie im Readme-File beschrieben, stellt sich die Software automatisch nach einer gewissen Zeit zurück. Dies gilt für die beta-Version, als sicherlich auch für die zukünftige Probierversion. Man kann nach dieser Zeit allerdings die Knöpfe erneut hochdrehen und die Effekte erneut hören. Außerdem setzt sich die Software automatisch nach 30 Tagen zurück und kann anschließend nicht mehr gestartet werden.

Der Nutzer soll die Software ja nicht einfach so verwenden, sondern dafür bezahlen. Wir (die SPAZ-Aktionäre) wollen ja schließlich Geld damit verdienen. Nachdem man sich einen Eindruck über die Effekte verschafft hat, geht es an`s bezahlen.

Gruß

Chi.

Trans World Entertainment/FYE and Interactive Objects
Launch New In-Store Multimedia Station

BELLEVUE, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 24, 2001--Interactive Objects `iObjects` (OTC:OBJX -
news), a leading designer of embedded software and hardware solutions for digital media appliances, and
Trans World Entertainment Corporation (Nasdaq:TWMC - news), the nation`s largest mall-based specialty
music retailer, today announced the launch of Trans World`s new Listening and Viewing Station (LVS)
system at its flagship FYE store in Rockefeller Center, New York City.

The LVS system connects multimedia preview stations within any single store location to a Microsoft XP
server that provides access to all of the songs and videos from the store`s catalog of titles. Using Windows
Media 8 technology to store and stream content, songs and videos can be accessed and previewed from
any device at any time. The system will roll out to 21 stores in 5 major markets across the U.S. by the end
of November and is part of an overall strategic initiative to re-brand the Company`s 730 mall-based
specialty stores and its web site under a single, unified brand, FYE (for your entertainment). The additional
stores are scheduled for a phased rollout beginning in 2002.

The LVS device, which was designed by iObjects, is one of the first to support Microsoft`s Windows
Media 8 technology; incorporating both WMA audio and MPEG level 4 video playback. The device
contains a UPC bar code scanner and content recognition software that matches bar code data with the
content`s metadata stored on a server. Shoppers simply scan any CD or DVD in the store to access a
particular song or video. The LVS device also features a proximity-based recommendations engine that
helps guide customers to similar content in the area surrounding the device.

``This system represents a major breakthrough in distributed media systems design,`` said Dennis Tevlin,
president and CEO of iObjects. ``We have created a low cost, state of the art system that can gracefully
evolve to incorporate new features and services such as Microsoft`s .NET-based technologies. The LVS
system represents the vanguard of a new type of multimedia experience in retail, hospitality, exhibition and
in-seat entertainment. Trans World is at the forefront of this revolution.``

The re-branding initiative is the result of an 18-month in-depth analysis of the changing entertainment
marketplace, the technology revolution and the emerging wired lifestyle, as well as extensive customer
research. It is designed to drive sales and build brand equity by increasing the number and consistency of
customer touchpoints and increasing efficiency in advertising and marketing functions. FYE will create a
more relevant shopping experience for consumers, expanding product selection across the entertainment
spectrum.

``Our objective is to leverage our expertise in music and entertainment to build long-lasting relationships
with our customers, said Trans World vice president of marketing, Mark Hogan. ``Our partnership with
innovative technology companies such as iObjects helps move us closer toward achieving our goal of
broadening our customer base while fully realizing the benefits of a multi-market, multi-channel strategy.``

leider kann ich über OBJX nicht tiefgreifend mit dir
debattieren, da ich noch nicht sehr lange dabei bin.

die gesellschaft hat sich beachtlich entwickelt,
insbesondere in den letzten 9 monate.
OBJX hat geschäfte mit Microsoft, Cirrus, Media TransWorld,
SSI, Nikko und iOmega. Also schon festes einkommen,
auch für eigenvermarktung.

nachteile:
- man muss schon ein langfristig denkender anleger sein.
- die umsätze sind gering

- OBJX hat an der seite von MSFT eine vielversprechende zukunft.
- der audiobereich explodiert irgendwann

Im raging bull board hat ein "rayr" in Manhatten das neue system von iObjects gesehen und folgendes gepostet:

"Highroller1500,

I just came back from FYE and saw the new OBJX system at the FYE store at 61st Street and 6 Avenue
in Manhattan. In a word it was "revolutionary". The system consists of small stations including a screen,
earphones and a bar code reader and there are larger slim-line kiosks standing on the floor as well. You
are able to simply scan a CD or movie`s bar code into the bar code reader and it plays that music or
movie for you on the approx. 6 in. x 6 in. screen. These smaller units are all over the store on every other
music/video rack.The store has its own server which is connected to the head office in Indiana. The
music and video is cashed, not streaming, which means the response to a request is quick.The store
server is backed up each night to the head office server. They had about 85-90% of the rock and pop
CD`s loaded. They were working on getting the rest of the music (ex., classical)and DVD`s on the server.
They now have about 200,000 songs on the system. I saw an outside consultant loading CD`s and DVD`s
on the system. So between what the head office server had loaded and what the store was loading they
should be "fully loaded" in the next couple of days or weeks for that FYE store. The kiosks (12 in. x 12 in.
screen with 2 sets of earphones) is used to research music titles and listen to them. I asked the
salesmen what they thought of the new devises and they said the customers loved them because it
allowed them to listen or view the CD or video before they bought it. They said that some of the other
features this system will provide and track, via the internet WindowsXP Passport feature, is a frequent
buyers discount program and if the CD or movie is not available it will add it to your Passport preference
list on the internet and notify you when it arrives.In short, this is a great beginning for iObjects (OBJX)!

P.S. Sting is the group in concert next door to me at 42nd Street in NYC which is being sponsored by
Microsoft and featuring it`s new Microsoft XP software especially it`s digital music sound. The concert
starts at 1 PM.I can`t wait.

Regards All."

with the increasing number of Wi-Fi networks being deployed in offices and public areas such as schools,
airports, and hotels.

Whitecap2 technology heralds the industry`s first Wi-Fi technology developed from the ground up to meet
the needs of the home, rather than just the enterprise. For example, Whitecap2 technology incorporates
unique home-oriented benefits, including support for high-fidelity entertainment content (such as MPEG-2
video and CD-quality audio), built-in resistance from common household interferers such as microwave
ovens and cordless phones, and consumer ease-of-use features.

``Cirrus` Whitecap2 technology is ideal for the home because it is consumer-friendly and
multimedia-capable, in addition to being Wi-Fi certified, which ensures interoperability with other Wi-Fi
products,`` said Amar Ghori, general manager of Cirrus Logic`s Wireless Networking Division. ``Whitecap2
technology is ideally suited to transmit the full range of high-fidelity entertainment content -- video, audio,
voice, and data -- within the home environment. This technology also facilitates the deployment of a broad
range of exciting new digital appliances and services.``

``Cirrus` wireless networking technology changes how consumers interact with digital entertainment
throughout the home,`` said Kurt Scherf, vice president of research at Parks Associates. ``Cirrus`
Whitecap2 technology will be a key driver in opening up home networking to consumers who are looking
for complete solutions for data and multimedia applications.``

The increasing penetration of broadband technology is a principal driver for wireless home networks,
which extend the broadband experience to multiple computers and digital appliances anywhere in the
home. As broadband services become more mainstream, Cirrus` Wi-Fi certified and multimedia-capable
products can take full advantage of the new range of programming, content, and interactivity, including
video- and audio-on-demand, streaming media, and high speed Internet sharing. Whitecap2 also enables a new range of wireless consumer
devices such as networked set-tops, digital video recorders, residential gateways, wireless MP3 players, mobile web pads, and digital audio
and video jukeboxes.

Whitecap2 is the earliest incarnation of IEEE 802.11e wireless LAN functionality. 802.11e adds multimedia and QoS support to the current
IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN specification. Significant elements of Whitecap2`s QoS enhancements have been incorporated into the 802.11e
draft specification, putting Cirrus at the forefront of bringing 802.11e to market and satisfying the special needs of the home.

Cirrus is in full production with Whitecap2 now, and consumer products are expected to be available in the first half of 2002. Products
containing Whitecap2 will be backward compatible with Whitecap1 technology, found in existing products from Panasonic and NETGEAR,
as well as software upgradeable to the upcoming 802.11e standard.

The Bodega wireless LAN platform includes Cirrus` new CS22200 Series Network Controllers, which support a broad range of digital
interfaces and applications, from desktop and notebook PCs to digital set-top boxes and residential gateways. The CS22200 Series includes
the CS22210 Wireless PCI/USB Controller, CS22220 Wireless PCMCIA Controller, CS22230 Wireless Mini PCI Controller, CS22250
Wireless 10BT Controller, and CS22270 Wireless Multi-Link Controller.

The platform also includes Cirrus` radio reference designs -- 802.11b compliant radios enabling low cost, high performance, wireless home
networking products -- and a broad range of system reference designs.

Cirrus will be holding technology demonstrations of Bodega at COMDEX in Las Vegas, November 12-16. Cirrus will be exhibiting in the
Wi-Fi Pavilion booth no. 3843, as well as conducting private demonstrations at The Venetian. The company will also be demonstrating at
Western Cable Show in Anaheim, November 28-30.

Syntricity dataConductor(TM) Helps Cirrus Logic Reap
Significant Wafer Yield Improvements and Cost Savings

Internet-Hosted Version Of Syntricity`s Engineering Decision Support And
Collaboration Solution Helped Correlate Low Yields On Three Different
Products, Resulting In Significant Cost Savings.

SAN DIEGO, CA--(INTERNET WIRE)--Oct 30, 2001-- It didn`t take very long for Cirrus Logic, a
premier supplier of high-performance analog and DSP chip solutions for Internet entertainment
electronics, to capitalize on the data management, analysis and reporting capabilities of dataConductor,
the leading Web-native engineering decision support solution from Syntricity Inc.

Just several weeks after implementing dataConductor.com(TM), the Internet-hosted version of
dataConductor, Cirrus Logic (Nasdaq: CRUS - news) has already reaped major productivity and cost
benefits from its improved data collection and analysis capabilities.

"We`ve been using dataConductor.com initially to collect and analyze wafer parametric data from our
subcontractor foundries," explained Craig Nelson, Director of Product and Test Engineering at Cirrus
Logic. "We`re inputting the data into a secure Internet data center maintained by Syntricity as part of its
subscription service, and then, in the event of low yields, we`re using that data to determine if there are
any parameters out of acceptable range."

According to Nelson, Cirrus Logic`s fab technology group was able to quickly correlate low yields on
three different products at the wafer test level with a fab parameter that was far from optimal. "Because
we had all the data loaded into a centralized database, one of our fab technology engineers was able to
run correlation reports in just one hour against all the fab parameters and isolate one particular
parameter as the problem," Nelson recalled. Cirrus Logic then informed the fab, which checked its own
database and reached the same conclusion.

As a result, Cirrus Logic was able to resolve the issue quickly with support from the subcontractor. The
cost savings realized, and going forward, was many times greater than the cost of subscribing to
dataConductor.com, according to Nelson. As a result of this activity, the collaboration between the
subcontractor and Cirrus Logic was strengthened, which resulted in a better process through the line.

dataConductor was among several database management tools evaluated by Cirrus Logic. "Compared to the other programs, each of
which seemed to have settled into their own niche of capabilities, dataConductor provides a `superset`of capabilities - a complete package
of analysis tools and database management as well as security features Cirrus Logic requires as a fabless semiconductor company,"
Nelson observed. "In addition, the fact that it is entirely Web-based and provides an easy-to-use browser interface makes it a whole lot
easier for us to share data not only with our subcontractor foundries but also with our subcontractor test sites in the Far East."

Currently, efforts are underway at Cirrus Logic to standardize data collection across different platforms and all Cirrus products using
dataConductor, which will optimize the sharing of data between Cirrus and its global fabs and test sites via the generation of uniform
reports.

"I can`t emphasize enough the importance of having data available in real time to make informed engineering decisions," Nelson stated.
"With dataConductor.com, we have that capability, without the capital expenditure that would have been required to maintain a data
management and analysis system in-house." In addition, the entire implementation process went, in Nelson`s words, "very smoothly - we
were very pleased." This effort was enhanced by Syntricity`s technical support, which Nelson considered very responsive.

"For a fabless semiconductor firm like Cirrus Logic, with subcontractors around the world, productivity across a globalized semiconductor
supply chain is a primary challenge," stated Syntricity President and Chief Executive Officer Jeff Teza. "dataConductor.com provides the
most cost-effective, intelligent management at all stages of an outsourced supply chain without the need for a large initial capital
investment."

[Brummbär]

Hi,
Wickerl, Bernd, Werner, Andy...

Der Aktienkurs von iObjects ist ganz gut in Fahrt. Einige spekulieren auf gute Quartalszahlen, wenige tippen sogar auf ein positives Ergebnis und andere auf heran nahende News.
In der Tat, irgend etwas wird`s wohl sein, denn OBJX fährt ungebremst gegen Norden und mein Gefühl sagt mir, dass der OBJX-Truck (nicht Train!) sicherlich auch noch im Frühjahr 2002 seinen Weg fährt. Gewiss sind Verschnaufpausen zum Kräftesammeln unerlässlich, um dann wieder mit speed voranzukommen. Die Endstadion sehe ich jedoch in sehr, sehr weiter Ferne. Die goldige Zeit mit iObjects hat gerade erst begonnen.

Zu den News:

"The company is working with Nikko Electronics and SSI Computer Corp to ready final products for delivery in the 2nd half of this year. Nikko is introducing a new flash-based handheld music player that will feature secure music playback using Microsoft`s Windows Media Technology. SSI is introducing a handheld jukebox with large capacity internal storage. Both products are built using iObjects` Dadio(TM) and Dharma(TM) platform technologies."

Vielleicht mit dieser Technologie von SSI?

Synergieeffekt aus der Zusammenarbeit mit Microsoft, Trans World und Cirrus und Implementierungen von Microsoft`s XP in weiteren Einrichtungen/Geräten? Nur eine Spekulation von mir!

"The company signed a new agreement with Microsoft Corp. (Nasdaq:MSFT - news) to design and produce a new class of consumer electronics device as a technology preview integrated with new WindowsXP features. This device will be unveiled at the WindowsXP product launch later this year, and features Dharma(TM) and Dadio(TM) technologies."

Weiterhin will iObjects auch noch eigene Produkte bis zum Jahresende herausbringen und bezüglich "new CS22200 Series Network Controllers" und "Wireless" steht m. E. auch noch eine News aus.

Brummbär

Btw, wer kann mir schreiben, wie ich einen Text fett schreiben kann?

[Michiko]

Hi Brummbär

Hast mich zwar nicht direkt gefragt, aber ich kann Dir trotzdem antworten:

Wie schreibt man fett, unterstrichen oder kursiv?

Es gibt drei Arten von Textformatierungen

(b)fett(/b) : Macht den Text fett
(u)unterstrichen[/u] : Unterstreicht den Text
(i)kursiv(/i) : Der Text erscheint kursiv

Allerdings musst Du statt der runden Klammern ( ) eckige nehmen [ ].
Rate mal, warum ich oben runde Klammern genommen habe

Hi OBJX-Freunde!

Wenn Techroad an Wickerl eine Mail schreibt, dann hat er sicherlich wieder über kommende News orakelt. Für alle die noch nicht so lange über iObjects Bescheid wissen, Techroad hat den big Deal mit iOmega vorhergesagt. Wenn er sich meldet, was wirklich nicht häufig geschieht, dann hat er in der Regel gute Infos.

Auch ich bin überzeugt, die nächsten 2 Wochen werden uns sehr, sehr erfreuen, den es werden einige neue Produkte von SSI und PoGo auf der Comdex (12. - 16. 11.01) in Las Vegas vorgestellt. Die Q3-Zahlen stehen an und unsere Fragen an Dennis sind auch noch nicht beantwortet. (News über die letzte CRUS-Meldung wird bestimmt auch noch kommen)

Michi,
vielen Dank für deine Hilfe!
Mit iObjects bist du jetzt gut im Plus, schon verkauft?

Wickerl,
du hättest Fond-Manager werden sollen. 50% in nur 4 Wochen, wahrlich nicht schlecht.
Hast du alle 4 Werte real?

Orchid,
schon eigenartig was dir da geschehen ist. Da müssten sich ja MMs die Shares gegenseitig zuschieben. Ich werde am Montag oder Dienstag auch noch ein paar dazukaufen, mal sehen was passiert.

Lucent Technologies Provides Speech Recognition Software for e.Digital`s New MXP 100 Digital Music & Voice Player
e.Digital Introduces VoiceNav(TM), The First Spoken-Word Recognition and Navigation Interface for Portable Devices
SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 5, 2001-- e.Digital Corp. (OTC:EDIG - news), a global provider of comprehensive digital product development and designs, and Lucent Technologies (NYSE: LU - news) today announced their collaboration on a speech interface for portable electronic devices.

e.Digital`s VoiceNav(TM) voice navigation interface was developed utilizing a voice recognition engine from Bell Labs` Advanced Technologies, a division of Lucent`s research and development arm, which pioneered speech recognition technology.

VoiceNav is now available to consumers for the first time in e.Digital`s new MXP 100 portable digital music and voice recorder/player, which features hands-free navigation using spoken word commands. e.Digital also incorporates Texas Instruments` low-power TMS320C54x(TM) digital signal processor (DSP) into the MXP 100`s design, facilitating an advanced feature set, and providing compatibility between various software and firmware components.

``The consumer launch of the MXP 100, the first portable product to feature an interface based on our speech recognition engine, could create a new market and other opportunities for Lucent`s speech recognition technology,`` commented Monte Stimmel, licensing manager in the Technology Licensing Solutions group at Lucent. ``Drawing on e.Digital`s expertise in low power, small footprint applications, we are able to support more than 100,000 words and names in their music player, plus flexibility for English words or sounds not in the dictionary. We expect this to be the first of many voice recognition applications for portable devices, and we are enthusiastic about the potential to work with e.Digital on additional product opportunities.``

``We are pleased to team with Lucent on this exciting breakthrough for portable digital music players,`` said Fred Falk, president and CEO of e.Digital. ``Their voice recognition engine, tailored by our engineers with our MicroOS(TM) 2.0 audio file management system, produces a natural speech interface for portable devices.

Falk continued, ``VoiceNav`s fast response, expansive English vocabulary, and speaker-independent recognition of artist, band, album, and track names, will provide end users with easy access to a complete portable, personal audio library, and allow virtually hands-free operation of the MXP 100. With VoiceNav, users can navigate through the storage media, open folders, and play stored music or voice tracks without touching a button. They can create up to 100 music folders containing up to 100 tracks each and navigate through them simply by saying their titles aloud.``

e.Digital`s MXP(TM) Music Explorer software, shipped with the MXP 100, is the gateway to using the company`s VoiceNav interface on the MXP 100. Music Explorer`s user-friendly PC interface insures that track titles and artist or album information from digital music tracks are saved and transferred to the MXP 100 as recognizable phrases. The software allows users to transfer and organize enough music content to fill any hard disk drive (HDD) based portable jukebox product.

Chris Schairbaum, worldwide marketing manager of Internet Audio at Texas Instruments, commented, ``Using TI`s powerful DSP technology, and Lucent`s Bell Labs` speech recognition engine, e.Digital has developed a creative and innovative product. The MXP 100 demonstrates the flexibility of TI`s programmable DSP and provides a glimpse of the future of consumer electronics and digital audio devices.``

1. *** Rio Volt SP250: MP3-CD-Player mit Radio ***

Der RioVolt SP250 ist das Luxusmodell der RioVolt-Serie und lässt nichts zu
wünschen übrig. Der SP250 bietet - wie seine kleineren Geschwister - ein
hintergrundbeleuchtetes Display zur Anzeige der ID3-Tags (resp. CD-Text bei
Audio CDs) und spielt mit 2 AA Akkus bis zu 15 Stunden lang. Der
Bedienungskomfort ist sich ebenfalls gleich geblieben, so gehören ein
benutzerdefinierter Equalizer, verschiedene Widergabemodi und eine
programmierbare Abspielreihenfolge weiterhin zur Ausstattung. Die
Wiedergabe von MP3-, WMA- oder normalen Audio-Dateien kann ganz nach
Belieben von CD, CD-R oder CD-RW erfolgen.

Wo liegen nun die Unterschiede? Als Erstes sticht das Radio hervor: Im
SP250 ist ein FM-Radio integriert, das über die Fernbedienung bedient wird.
Damit wird es endlich möglich, in einem Gerät MP3-CDs und Audio-CDs
abzuspielen, sowie nach Lust und Laune auch Radio zu hören. Neben dem Radio
bietet der Rio Volt SP250 einen grösseren Anti-Schock-Speicher: Ganze 8
Minuten Musik werden zwischengespeichert. Anstelle gewöhnlicher Batterien
kann der SP 250 mit Akkus betrieben werden, und im Lieferumfang sind zwei
verschiedene Ohrhörer (genauer: ein Ohrhörer und ein faltbarer Kopfhörer)
inbegriffen.

Ein idealer Player für alle, die keine Kompromisse eingehen möchten und
sich gerne an einem Qualitätsgerät erfreuen.

Preis und Verfügbarkeit: Der Rio Volt SP250 ist voraussichtlich ab Dezember
lieferbar, Bestellungen/Reservationen nehmen wir ab sofort entgegen.
Preis: Fr. 469.00.

3. *** Creative Jukebox 20 GB ***

Die D.A.P. Juke-box von Creative ist neu in einer Version mit 20
GB-Festplatte lieferbar. Damit können bis zu 350 Stunden Musik in
CD-Qualität gespeichert und abgespielt werden. Ermöglicht wird das durch
die eingebaute 20 GB Harddisk. Ein grosses Display und benutzerfreundliche
Tasten sorgen für eine einfache Bedienung. Musik wird über den
USB-Anschluss vom Computer auf die Jukebox geladen. Dabei spielt die
Jukebox nicht nur MP3-, sondern auch WAV-Dateien ab. Dank Firmware-Upgrades
werden auch zukünftige Formate wie z.B. AAC unterstützt.

Ein Zwischenspeicher verhindert, dass die Jukebox bei Erschütterungen
aussetzt. Die Jukebox beeindruckt nicht nur durch das überzeugende Design
und die einfache Bedienung, sonderen auch durch ihre Funktionen. Neben
allen üblichen Features ist auch über den Line-In-Eingang die Aufnahme von
Musik im .wav-Format möglich.

Preis und Verfügbarkeit: Die Creative DAP Jukebox 20 GB ist voraussichtlich
ab Mitte November lieferbar. Preis: Fr. 799.00. Nach wie vor ist das Modell
mt 6 GB für Fr. 599.- erhältlich.

Charter Selects Microsoft TV for Next Generation of Interactive Services Agreement Provides Software Platform to 1 Million Digital Set-Top Boxes

ST. LOUIS and REDMOND, Wash., Nov. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Charter Communications Inc. today announced the selection of the Microsoft® TV software platform to deploy the next generation of interactive TV services to 1 million of its customers over the next seven years. The agreement illustrates Charter`s continuing commitment to bring customers interactive TV services and broadband value.

``Charter and Microsoft are working together to deploy this next-generation service that offers consumers an advanced platform to seamlessly access interactive information and entertainment through the television,`` said Steve Silva, executive vice president and chief technical officer for Charter. ``Using a DOCSIS modem integrated into a digital set-top receiver, we will be the first to deliver an interactive TV service that incorporates Internet-based streaming audio and video and Flash animation. This agreement brings together the strength and reach of Charter`s broadband network -- a delivery mechanism unmatched for its speed and capacity -- with the technology expertise of Microsoft, the recognized leader in software development.``

``Microsoft is excited to work with Charter on making the broadband experience engaging, fun and useful for consumers, and more profitable for the cable industry,`` said Jon DeVaan, senior vice president of the TV Division at Microsoft. ``Charter`s decision to select Microsoft as its primary strategic partner for interactive TV underscores the benefits of Microsoft TV`s open, scalable platform and the ease of integration of its content and services.``

Charter has deployed the advanced interactive TV services in St. Louis as part of a field trial there using Microsoft TV Advanced client software on Motorola DCT-5000 digital set-top boxes and Microsoft TV Server. The interactive TV services were developed by Charter and the interactive TV company digeo inc. An expanded launch to customers is expected in early 2002.

``We selected Microsoft TV because it will enable us to quickly deploy the interactive information and entertainment services that consumers are looking for from interactive TV, such as a menu of local and national news and information, video on demand, e-mail, high-speed Internet access and streaming media,`` Silva said. ``Microsoft offers an open, scalable platform and has the proven ability to integrate content and services from our existing partners. This agreement enables us to add interactive TV services to our current business immediately.``

``Charter is a leader in the cable industry because of its exciting vision for advanced TV services delivered on high-speed, two-way networks,`` DeVaan said. ``Microsoft TV uniquely supports this vision, and our multiple deployments around the world -- now including Charter -- show Microsoft TV is ready to deploy now and set the standard for what TV can be.``

Charter`s interactive TV service initially will offer e-mail, Internet browsing and content from digeo, including on-demand local and national news, weather, sports, entertainment, shopping, games and more. The trial also will include streaming media services featuring Microsoft Windows Media(TM) Technologies. Windows Media is the leading digital media platform, providing unmatched audio and video quality to consumers, content providers, solution providers, software developers and corporations. In the future, other services are scheduled to be added, including interactive programming from Wink Communications, video on demand from Diva Systems Corp., and the TV Guide interactive programming guide.

Rick

[TheCooleWickerl]

servus Rickgoody,
dass ist der hammer. aber das muss noch offiziell von
Microsoft und OBJX bestätigt werden. möglich, ich denke schon.

[Brummbär]

Hi,
Wickerl,

deine e.Digital erlöste im 3. Quartal 2001 $669.000 gegenüber $125.000 aus Q3/00. Der Reinverlust stieg auf -$986.000 (-38%). Da wird, du wirst es sehen, iObjects besser abschneiden.

"e.Digital Corporation develops, manufactures and markets electronic devices using portable storage media using its MicroOS file management system. For the three months ended 6/30/01, revenues totalled $669 thousand, up from $125 thousand. Net loss applicable to Common rose 38% to $986 thousand. Revenues reflect an increase in OEM shipments. Higher loss reflects an increase in personnel-related costs and a loss on the disposal of an asset."
Gruß,
Brummbär

Btw, wer kauft den iObjects in Deutschland? In den USA kann man z. Zt. günstiger einkaufen!

[Sarrefranz]

Hallo,
ich denke das der Kurs die nächsten Tage die 1$ überwinden wird oder bis 0.85$ zurückfällt. Tiefer solte es aber nicht gehen. Nach der 1$ Marke ist die nächste Hürde schon bei 1,5$ zu überwinden. Zumindest machtes aber wieder Spass den OBJX Kurs zu beobachten und den Chart zu "analysieren". Im Moment hat sich ein Aufwärtstrend eingestellt, der noch zeigen muss, ob er so stabil ist wie der vergangene Abwärtstrend. Sollte der Aufwärtstrend stabil sein, so sehen wir bald die 1,5$ und ab dann, ?????.

[Fargate]

Werde heute 2.000 in den USA mal kaufen. 0,97 $ Limit.
Habe mir mal die Mühe gemacht einige Treads zu lesen
und bin zu der Meinung gekommen,mit etwas Fantasie ist in
dem Kurs noch was drin. Aufträge scheinen ja demnächst
reichlich zu kommen. Und wenn man den Kurs mal zurück verfolgt,hatte dieser auch schon andere Zeiten gesehen.

Freue mich über jede weitere Information.

[Brummbär]

Hi,
Rickgoody,

ob iObjects mit dieser MS-Software etwas zu tun hat, kann ich mir nicht vorstellen.

Hier die Meldung in Deutsch:
Microsoft beliefert Charter mit TV-Software

Der US-amerikanische Kabelfernsehanbieter Charter Communications will TV-Software von Microsoft einsetzen. Charter möchte damit seinen Kunden über das Kabelnetz interaktive Unterhaltungs- und Informationssendungen wie Video on Demand und Zusatzinformationen zu Nachrichtensendungen zukommen lassen. Dazu soll noch ein schneller Internet-Zugang kommen.

Derzeit testet bei Charter ein kleiner Kundenkreis die Software von Microsoft. Im nächsten Jahr soll sie dann in größerem Umfang eingesetzt werden. Charter ist mit seinen sieben Millionen Kunden der viertgrößte US-amerikanische Kabelfernsehanbieter. Chef des Unternehmens ist Paul Allen, der 1975 zusammen mit Bill Gates Microsoft gegründet hat. In dem Geschäft mit Charter sehen Analysten einen wichtigen Schritt für Microsoft, sich auf dem US-amerikanischen Fernsehmarkt durchzusetzen. Zumindest scheint das TV-Engagement des Redmonder Riesen vorerst gesichert.

Mit dem Geschäft geht eine Serie von Rückschlägen für Microsoft TV zu Ende. Im Juni zum Beispiel schnappte Liberate einen Digital-TV-Auftrag weg. Im gleichen Monat gab AT&T bekannt, sein interaktives Fernsehen vorerst einzustellen. Microsoft hatte sich für fünf Milliarden US-Dollar (5,5 Milliarden Euro) bei AT&T eingekauft, um damit unter anderem seiner eigenen Software in Settop-Boxen zum Durchbruch zu verhelfen. (anw/c`t)

... aber ich bin sehr gespannt, was bezüglich Video kommen wird:

Interactive Objects, Inc., now Fullplay Media Systems, provides software engineering, industrial design, and manufacturing services to leading technology companies. iObjects specializes in developing next generation entertainment media devices, from portable MP3 players to personal video recorders, and licenses custom hardware configurations, operating systems, and product designs to OEMs.

Spazianer,
es tut mir leid, hier das third quarter result:


Friday November 9, 6:30 am Eastern Time

Press Release

Spatializer Audio Laboratories, Inc. Announces Third Quarter
Operating Results

Adjustments to Second Quarter Accruals Due to Late Royalty Reporting And
Change in Licensee Royalty Reporting Method Negatively Impacts Third
Quarter Operating Results, Which Would Otherwise Have Reflected a Small
Profit

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Nov. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Spatializer Audio Laboratories, Inc. (OTC Bulletin
Board: SPAZ - news) today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30,
2001.
(Photo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20010525/LAF026LOGO )

Revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2001 were $303,000, compared to revenues of $630,000 in the
third quarter of fiscal 2000, a decrease of 52%. Revenues for the nine-months ended September 30,
2001 were $1,215,000 compared to revenues of $1,666,000 in the comparable nine-month period last
year.

The company reported net loss for the quarter of $175,000, $0.00 basic and diluted per share,
compared with net income of $104,000, $0.00 basic and diluted per share, in the comparable period
last year. Net loss for the nine-months ended September 30, 2001 was $267,000, ($0.01) basic and
diluted per share, compared to net income of $386,000, $0.01 basic and diluted per share, in the
comparable nine-month period last year.

The decrease in the revenues reported in the third quarter resulted primarily from adjustments to
revenues accrued in the prior quarter to reflect actual cash receipts for second quarter operations. The
Company`s long standing policy has been to accrue revenue based on estimates derived from historical
and current information available when SEC reports are due. In the quarter ended June 30, 2001,
reporting changes and delayed reporting impacted these estimates. Effective April 1, 2001, two
manufacturers assumed royalty reporting and payment responsibilities previously held by a single DSP
foundry. The change in reporting entities and the related change in payment from the previous policy of
shipments by the DSP foundry to the manufacturers to the new policy of royalties based on the
manufacturer`s shipment of DVD players resulted in an over-accrual of estimated revenues in the second
quarter. An adjustment of approximately $200,000 was made in the third quarter.

Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 were lower because of the aforementioned adjustment and a flat fee license
royalty of 250K earned in the first half of 2000 for which there were no comparable royalties in the current year. In addition, royalties on
analog integrated circuits have declined from a major account due to a continuing sales decline of audio related special purpose ICs.

The net loss for the three and nine month periods are primarily the result of the decrease in revenue and an increase in operating expenses,
primarily for research and development. The Company previously reported in its second quarter that it had accelerated its hiring program
to capitalize on a brief supply of engineering talent in the Silicon Valley as a result of industry layoffs. In addition, the Company stepped up
its use of outside consultants to move several projects closer to completion. These initiatives were trimmed in the third quarter to more
closely synch overhead with current operating levels.

``It`s always disappointing to report a quarterly loss, but when a modest quarterly profit is turned into a loss due to untimely and
inadequate information, its even more difficult,`` stated Henry R. Mandell, Chairman and CEO of Spatializer. ``Shareholders sometimes
ask why we don`t report earlier and now we unfortunately see why that can be problematic. We have communicated to our licensee the
importance of timely information and the obvious ramifications from any delayed information.``

Mandell continued, ``Nevertheless, we are moving our business ahead in these uncertain times. We reduced our overhead by over 20%
compared to the previous quarter. In the third quarter, we announced our first portable digital player deal with Sanyo. This reflects a
re-established relationship with the Sanyo organization where there are significant opportunities. We added Sharp DVD and SONICblue
to our licensee family. Zoran Corporation designated us as a preferred provider on their Vaddis® DSP line, including the new Vaddis V
processor. We extended our relationship with Texas Instruments with new platform availability and are collaborating with them in a joint
marketing effort. Lastly, we announced Spatializer PCE(TM) that represents the Company`s next-generation audio enhancement
technology that both polishes and expands the listener`s audio experience. As a small company, we have accomplished much in the past
quarter and I`m proud of our team. I expect a solid and profitable fourth quarter and look forward to success in this competitive
environment.``

Herr: Es ist Zeit.
Der Sommer war sehr groß.
Leg deinen Schatten auf die Sonnenuhren
und auf den Fluren laß die Winde los.
Befiehl den letzten Früchten reif zu sein
gib Ihnen noch zwei südlichere Tage
dräng sie zur Vollendung hin und jage
die letzte Süße in den schweren Wein.

Wer jetzt kein Haus hat, baut sich keines mehr
wer jetzt allein ist, wird es lange bleiben,
wird lesen, wachen, lange Briefe schreiben
und wird auf den Alleen hin und her
unruhig wandern, wenn die Blätter treiben.

Interactive Objects Launches Breakthrough Price/Performance Solution for Digital Audio Recording

MP3 Encoding Enabled on Low Cost Processors

LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 12, 2001--Interactive Objects `iObjects` (OTC:OBJX - news) a leading designer of embedded software and hardware solutions for digital media appliances, today announced a new low-cost solution for digital audio encoding on portable mp3 players, PDAs, cell phones and other digital audio devices at the FALL 2001 Comdex Exhibition.

iObjects` new mp3 encoder allows music to be digitally encoded (or recorded) using low cost processors that until now have been limited to the playback of digital audio. The new software is available immediately under license from iObjects to consumer electronics companies, PC manufacturers and other technology companies that are using RISC microprocessor cores from leading companies such as Cirrus Logic, Intel, and Texas Instruments.

``Encoding a music file requires much greater computational power than does simple decoding or playback,`` said Dennis Tevlin, President and CEO of iObjects. ``Our deep knowledge of the mp3 compression and decompression algorithms and of RISC core processor architectures has enabled us to break through a major barrier that has limited the capability of the first generation of mp3 players and other audio devices.``

iObjects` new mp3 encoding solution has been added to the company`s Dadio(TM) Digital Media Operating System as a standard feature. Products equipped with this new version of Dadio will be able to convert current CD music collections to digital files (a process known as ``ripping``) directly, without using a personal computer. Songs can be catalogued, arranged and replayed to different rooms using existing stereo system components or home networking systems. The Dadio mp3 encoder has been designed to the highest standards of usability. The new software will enable real-time playback, encoding into mp3, metadata matching for automatic content recognition, CD ripping, and writing to disk simultaneously, all without any button latency or delay.

``The invention of a low cost recording solution for digital audio is key to making this technology truly pervasive,`` said Mark Phillips, CTO of iObjects. ``By inventing our own algorithm that does not require a PC or a high cost microprocessor, we open the doors wide open for a new generation of products utilizing this capability.``

The first product offering this new capability is being demonstrated at Comdex by PoGo!Products at booth number L5511.

Servus Leute,

Ihr hattet Recht: OBJX wird News präsentieren und von PoGo wird ein neues Produkt vorgestellt.

Gruss
Rick

[TheCooleWickerl]

sevus Rick,
das war bestimmt noch nicht alles!

Dear Investor,
Today we announced a technology breakthrough that we believe may
revolutionize the capabilities of any device that includes digital
audio. Namely, we have created our own MP3 encoder algorithm that can
be run on low power, low cost microprocessors that rely on RISC cores.
This means that encoding (digital audio recording) can be done on mp3
players, PDAs, cell phones and other digital audio devices that until
now have been limited to playback. Typically users rely on PCs or other
higher end jukebox products (with PC processors) to do encoding and then
have to copy the files to a portable device. While this makes sense for
many scenarios, it greatly limits the flexibility and basic usefulness
of many devices. With iObjects` new MP3 encoder, users can simply
record directly on their devices without having to rely on a PC. Most
significantly, this recording can be done using the same microprocessor
designs that are being used in the most popular mp3 players on the
market today (Rio, Creative, Compaq, Intel, Iomega) and the new
generation of Microsoft`s PocketPC.

One of the first companies to license this technology from iObjects is
PoGo!Products. PoGo is a new brand of products that has been created by
Remote Solution, Inc., the U.S. marketing and sales organization for
HanGo Electronics Co., Ltd., Korea. PoGo is demonstrating this
capability in their new RipDrive(tm) handheld jukebox that is being
displayed this week at Fall Comdex 2001 this week in Las Vegas.

[Brummbär]

Hi,

diese neue Version von Dadio kann Musik direkt in digitale Dateien umzuwandeln, ohne einen PC zu verwenden. Auch Ansammlungen von Digitalschallplatten können im MP3-Format verschlüsselt und auf mobilen oder stationären Geräten gespeichert werden. Dadio ist zur Decodierung des Inhalts in jedem populären Format fähig.

Diese News ist sehr wohl ein Durchbruch, da diese Software auf breiter Front eingesetzt werden kann. Das Kodierformat spielt somit keine Rolle.

PoGo ist der erste Lizenznehmer. Mal sehen wer folgt?

Gruß,
Brummbär

[Techroad]

Hallo Leute!

München (ots) - Die schwierige Konjunktur und die Nachbeben der Terroranschläge überschatten das diesjährige Weihnachtsgeschäft. Trotzdem hoffen die Branchen der Old Economy, ihre Umsätze in den nächsten Wochen steigern zu können. Vor allem für die Unterhaltungselektronik sind die Prognosen optimistisch. Düster sieht es allerdings für E-Commerce-Unternehmen aus. Das berichtet das führende deutsche Marketingmagazin w&v - werben und verkaufen in seiner aktuellen Ausgabe.
Für die Elektronik-Branche dürften die Wochen vor Weihnachten stürmisch werden. MP3-Player, Internet-Anwendungen, Games und SMS haben Marken-Klamotten von den oberen Plätzen der Wunschlisten verdrängt, prophezeit Trend-Experte Stefan Maurer von der Münchner Agentur Häberlein & Maurer. Auch die Hersteller von Notebooks, DVD-Playern und Flachbild-Fernsehern können sich wohl auf Andrang in der Adventszeit einstellen.
Unklar ist, ob auch die Computer-Branche vom Technik-Boom profitieren wird. Die Branche hofft auf das Betriebssystem XP von Microsoft (Frankfurt: 870747.F, Nachrichten) , für das ein Werbeetat von 200 Millionen Dollar veranschlagt ist. "Wir haben hohe Erwartungen", sagt Jürgen Thiel, Geschäftsführer von Intel. "Wenn sich jetzt viele Konsumenten einen schnellen Rechner kaufen, um das neue System ausreizen zu können, werden wir davon profitieren."
Für die New Economy dagegen wird im Weihnachtsgeschäft keine Festtagsstimmung aufkommen. "Für die reinen Online-Händler geht es schlicht ums Überleben", sagt Ralf Scharnhorst, Director Media bei Sinner (Frankfurt: 724100.F, Nachrichten) -Schrader in Hamburg. Die E-Commerce-Unternehmen, die in den Wochen vor Heiligabend etwa zwei Drittel ihres Jahresumsatzes machen, leiden vor allem unter dem gesunkenen Vertrauen der Online-Kunden. Viele haben im letzten Jahr wegen Lieferproblemen der Dot-Coms die Geschenke nicht mehr rechtzeitig zum Fest bekommen. Scharnhorst: "Das Markenvertrauen in Internet-Anbieter hat einfach zu großen Schaden genommen."

Interactive Objects Announces 4th Consecutive Increase in Quarterly Revenue and Improvement in Operating Results for Third Quarter of 2001

Revenues Increase 367% from Third Quarter of 2000

BELLEVUE, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 14, 2001-- Continuing its steady growth since installing a new management team and transitioning its business a year ago, Interactive Objects (OTCBB:OBJX - news), ``iObjects`` today announced results for the third quarter of 2001.

The company reported total revenues of $1,049,613 for the quarter ended September 30, 2001, a 367% increase as compared with total revenues of $224,691 for the same quarter last year. This also marks a 9% increase in revenues from the second quarter of 2001, which amounted to $964,724.

Net loss for the third quarter of 2001 was $156,894, or $0.01 per share, compared to $359,382, or $0.02 per share, in the year earlier quarter and $399,679, or $0.03 per share, for the second quarter of 2001.

``We continue to show consistent revenue increases even in these very difficult economic and social times. In an era when many companies are reporting lay-offs, reduced revenues and increasing losses, we are growing our revenues and improving our operating results,`` said Dennis Tevlin, President and CEO of iObjects. ``While we are not immune to the economic slowdown, our fundamentals are sound and we are well positioned for future growth and profitability.``

During the quarter, iObjects successfully completed a number of key milestones.

The company delivered the first shipments of the in-store listening and viewing stations that have been custom designed for Trans World Entertainment, Inc. Several stores in the pilot program are up and running and early customer feedback has been great. As announced previously, Trans World plans to roll out approximately 25,000 devices throughout their 730 FYE mall-based specialty retail stores in 2002.
The company entered into an agreement with PoGo!Products (www.pogoproducts.com) which will make iObjects` platform the basis for a new line of embedded media products sold under the PoGo!Products brand name. PoGo`s RipDrive(TM) handheld jukebox, an iObjects-based design, was recently introduced at Fall Comdex 2001.
The company delivered technology for Microsoft`s new TV Photo Viewer product, which is being delivered to retailers throughout the U.S. during the 4th Quarter of 2001.
The company continued to make significant progress in its research and development efforts, successfully incorporating support for MPEG 1, 2 and 4 video compression, the standard formats used for DVD playback and internet video on demand. This means that iObjects can build products that provide both audio and video playback, significantly broadening the market potential of the company`s platform technology. The company has also been busy improving the core digital audio capabilities of its platform, having recently announced a proprietary MP3 encoder solution for low cost, low power microprocessors.
The company hired industry veteran Don Wallis as its new VP of Sales.
A detailed account of Interactive Objects` financial results for the third quarter of 2001 has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-QSB.

Wenn ich erlich bin sind die Zahlen für mich etwas
enttäuschend. Das Quartal ist mal gerade mit plus 84 Tausend
gewachsen.
Der Umsatz hätte doch schon bei 1.3 Mio liegen dürfen.
Sollten hier nicht noch weitere Auträge kommen in den
nächsten Tagen so ist der Kurs bei 1 $ zur Zeit gut
bezahlt.
Ob nach diesen Zahlen mit den ersten Gewinnmitnahmen zu
rechnen ist muss man heute mal abwarten.

Hallo zusammen!

Ich möchte nur kurz meinen Kommentar zu den Zahlen abgeben:
Das Ergebnis für das 3. Quartal per Ende September ist meiner Meinung nach hervorragend. OBJX entwickelt laufend neue Produkte und ist in der aktuellen wirtschaftlichen Situation fähig Umsätze zu steigern und den Verlust zu minimieren. Welche Unternehmen können im Moment eine solche Performance an den Tag legen?
Nur sehr wenige.

Weiter ist zu bemerken, dass der Deal mit Transworld im 3. Quartal wahrscheinlich noch nicht gross berücksichtigt wurde. Gemäss der Pressemitteilung wird Transworld im Jahre 2002 rund 25`000! Geräte bei OBJX bestellen. Die wirklich grossen Umsätze werden also erst im nächsten Jahr die Bücher von OBJX beeinflussen.

Gratuliere Techroad,
deine Informationsquelle ist nach wie vor sehr gut!
Dennis Tevlin hat in der sehr schwierigen Wirtschaftslage enormes geleistet. Mein Gefühl sagt mir, und da gehe ich mit dir konform, nächstes Jahr kann iObjects den Durchbruch in die Rentabilität schaffen.

Rick,
der Bilanzvergleich mit eDigital geht eindeutig an iObjects.

.......... Erlöst -- Gerwin/Verlust
EDIG $669.000 -- $986.000
OBJX $1,049,613 -- $224,691

Mit deiner Schnelligkeit News aufzuspüren, bist du derzeitig unschlagbar.

Es sind zwar noch liquide Mittel von $1.541.924 vorhanden, jedoch schließe ich eine zusätzliche Finanzierung (2.5 Mio.) grundsätzlich nicht aus, um weiteres Wachstum zu finanzieren. Ich denke insbesondere an den Vertrieb eigener Produkte. Wozu hat iObjects zwei so erfahrene Verkaufsmanager eingestellt. Vice President of Sales Don Wallis hat z. B. den Laptop von Toshiba auf den Weg gebracht http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/011003/30030_1.html).

[Rickgoody]

Hi Brummbär,

wahrscheinlich nur ein kleines Missverständnis: EDIG hat im Q3/2001 nur ca. 500.000 USD erlöst. Die 669.000 USD sind aus Q2/2001 (ending 30.06.2001). Siehe auch dein eigenes Posting vom 8.11. in diesem Board:

"e.Digital Corporation develops, manufactures and markets electronic devices using portable storage media using its MicroOS file management system. For the three months ended 6/30/01, revenues totalled $669 thousand, up from $125 thousand. Net loss applicable to Common rose 38% to $986 thousand. Revenues reflect an increase in OEM shipments. Higher loss reflects an increase in personnel-related costs and a loss on the disposal of an asset."

Hi Rick,
du hast Recht. War mal wieder zu schnell.


E-Mail from Dennis Tevlin today:

Dear Investor,
Today we announced results for Q3 2001. Revenues topped $1 million coming in at $1,049,613 for an increase of 367% over Q3 2000. This represents our 4th consecutive quarter of increased revenues and improved operating results. Our loss narrowed to $156,894 or $0.01 a share, as compared to $359,382, or $0.02 per share in Q3 2000, and $399,679, or $0.03 per share, Q2 2001. While I`m not a big fan of touting a loss as a win, considering our trajectory and the current market environment, we are very much on track in executing our business plan. The 25,000 unit deal with Trans World is planned for delivery in the 1st half of 2002. Because we responsible for the final manufacture of these devices, the revenue upside is much greater than a purely royalty-based deal. We are hard at work leveraging this win in other markets. Our relationship with Microsoft continues to deepen and improve. Cirrus Logic is a committed partner with more at stake in our success than merely providing design services.
Our relationship with other chip providers is also blossoming. The Trans World LVS device, for example, is built using Intel`s StrongARM processor. Our technology lead is increasing.
Recent announcements on our proprietary MP3 encoder for RISC-based processors and our incorporation of MPEG 1, 2, and 4 video compression into our Dharma platform are good examples of our progress. If anything, our R&D efforts are accelerating and we are working hard creating what we believe to be a slew of unique and patentable new technologies for embedded media systems.

We are also hard at work preparing for the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in January. As mentioned previously, the company will have its own exhibit booth at the show for the first time in its history.

Thank you for your continued support. Here is a link to today`s press release on our website.

Hi,

mit leichter Verzögerung die definitiven Q3-Ergebnisse von EDIG:

Wednesday November 14, 5:19 pm Eastern Time
Press Release
SOURCE: e.Digital Corp.

Letter From the President and CEO of e.Digital Corp.
This Letter is a Direct Communication From the President And CEO of e.Digital Corp. (OTC:EDIG - news)

SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 14, 2001-- Dear Shareholder:

Today we filed our Form 10-Q with the Securities and Exchange Commission, summarizing the quarter ended September 30, 2001. Per our Shareholder Communications policy, I would like to provide you with a brief update of our recent business.

Revenues for products and services for the quarter ended September 30, 2001, totaled $506,996, and for the six months ended September 30, 2001, revenues totaled $1,176,275. There was an operating loss for the quarter of $1,080,127, or $0.01 per share.

Our e.Digital online store opened for business on November 2 at www.edigital-store.com, and sales of our MXP(TM) 100 digital music and voice player/recorders have exceeded expectations given the limited marketing that has been completed to date. Additional marketing campaigns and media coverage, coordinated by Fleishman-Hillard, are scheduled to coincide with the busiest shopping season of the year and target prime customers for our MXP 100 product line.

In addition to using MXP 100`s unique VoiceNav(TM) speaker-independent voice navigation interface, users can navigate while playing music using e.Digital`s Smart Song Selection(TM) (S3) feature. S3 allows consumers to scan through their entire music catalog and begin playing their next selected song immediately. Our product also features battery life of over 12 hours when fully charged. We are very pleased with the early response to our MXP 100 and its unique features from both consumers and the media.

We are scheduled to add new e.Digital-developed products to our online store, including the TREO 10(TM) digital jukebox and the MP2000 Internet music player during the holiday shopping season. We also expect to add to the store selected accessories and products from certain partners and licensees, based on the value they add to our product line and the value they offer to consumers. Marketing programs planned with these partners and licensees are expected to contribute to increased sales of consumer products through our online store and through additional sales channels.

Direct sales to consumers provide a much higher profit margin, and ultimately serve to strengthen our OEM licensing and royalty fees, engineering and service fees. During the current fiscal quarter, we expect to record revenue from final shipments of Cquence Mobile products to Lanier Healthcare. We are successfully transitioning away from dependence on revenue from Lanier with revenue increasing from our consumer product sales, and our increasing, ongoing work for licensees and OEM customers.

To provide additional working capital for the MXP 100 digital audio player rollout, we obtained $1 million from accredited working capital lenders. The notes are secured by inventory and accounts receivable but interest is deferred until the end of 2002. In the current capital environment, this is an effective means of funding inventory with a minimum of dilution and financial risk to the Company.

We are pleased with the progress of licensee Musical Electronics, Ltd., who is currently delivering an e.Digital-developed portable digital music encoder and player product -- based on a low-cost digital signal processor -- that allows consumers to encode music directly from their CD collection without having to use a PC. We believe this cost-saving, time-saving feature will set this e.Digital MicroOS(TM)-based product apart from other MP3 players currently on the market.

We have representatives at COMDEX in Las Vegas this week, where our technology, particularly our MXP 100, is being shown by e.Digital and by certain technology allies, partners, and licensees in various technology suites. We are pleased to announce that today at COMDEX our MXP 100 was featured on TechTV, and we expect to receive further media coverage from the show.

We are pursuing opportunities to bundle our products with related products and services including personal computers, and we continue working with a number of OEM customers and licensees on portable digital music players, voice recorders, and digital audio products for automotive applications. Our manufacturing partners possess sufficient facilities and resources to increase output as needed according to demand for our consumer products from consumers and OEMs alike.

As part of our continuing engineering development efforts, we are pleased to announce the promotion of Brian Gray to the position of Director of Engineering. Brian holds a Master`s degree in Electrical Engineering (with a focus on signal processing) from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York, and has over 14 years of experience designing and implementing real-time embedded DSP systems.

Our branded consumer products are being launched to consumers, with more on the way. Certain OEMs and licensees are beginning distribution of ``Powered by e.Digital`` products through their sales and distribution channels, and more are on the way. After two years in the digital music space, we believe we are exceptionally well positioned and well prepared with our consumer product designs, distribution and support services network, engineering capabilities, technology alliances, partnerships, and customers, to turn our experience into industry leadership, and more importantly, increasing revenue and profitability.

Sincerely yours,

Alfred H. Falk

President and CEO

Servus all,
dieses hier stammt von Kathy:

according to Dennis Tevlin. He says he is just too busy to find the time right now to sit down and give the questions the proper attention. I gave him a list of 30 questions and some are admittedly tough ones, too probing for full disclosure rules. He said he didn`t want to just write "no comment" next to all or most of the questions and he needs to find some time where he can sit down and give them justice. No idea when we will get the answers at this point, but I told him I`d rather he take care of company business and answer the questions when things calm down.

Hallo Brummi!

Meine Informationsquelle ist die Beste ueberhaupt. OBJX wird uns im naechsten Jahr grosse Freude bereiten. OBJX ist meiner Meinung nach ein noch unendeckter Diamant.

[Diamond23]

Hallo Techroad ,
Ich spreche ja nicht gerne über Kursziele , aber wenn man bedenkt das OBJX schon mal bei 8Dollar stand und nicht so gut positioniert war wie jetzt, würde mich doch mal interessieren wie du die Kurse nächstes Jahr siehst.

Grüße
Diamond23

[Fargate]

Bei einem geschätztem Umsatz von ca. 15 MIO $ könnte
der Kurs bei 3 $ liegen.
Die Jahre die wir mal hatten werden sicher so schnell nicht
mehr wieder kommen !
Umsatz und Gewinn werden entscheidend sein.

[Brummbär]

Hi,
ihr Kursvisionäre!

Machen wir doch eine einfache Rechnung:

OBJX hat rund 15 Mio shares, Verlust $0,01
EDIG hat rund 130 Mio shares und auch einen Verlust von $0,01

Nehmen wir mal an, Wettbewerber EDIG ist fair bewertet. Demnach müßte OBJX ca. 8,5 fach unterbewertet sein oder OBJX ist fair bewertet und EDIG um 8,5 überbewertet.
Sicherlich ist die goldene Mitte wieder das Maß der Dinge.

Wenn ich den aktuellen Kurs von EDIG ($1.37) als Basis nehme und beide mit dem arithmetischen Mittelwert von 4,25 (=8,5/2) bewerte, so müsset OBJX einen fairen Kurs von $5,82 und EDIG einen fairen Kurs von $0,32 aktuell aufweisen.

Mein Verstand sagt mir sehr wohl, so einfach kann man nicht rechnen. Diese vereinfachte Vergleichsmethode soll nur aufzeigen, dass OBJX durchaus noch enormes Kurspotential hat und EDIG durchaus noch abfallen könnte. Mehr jedoch nicht.

DiamondCluster Helps Trans World Entertainment Design, Deploy New Multimedia Shopping Experiences Leading Consulting Firm Helps National Specialty Retailer Use Emerging Technologies to Enhance Position in Dynamic Market Environment ALBANY, N.Y., Nov. 15 /PRNewswire/
-- Trans World Entertainment (Nasdaq: TWMC -news), with the support of DiamondCluster International (Nasdaq: DTPI - news), has launched an ambitious set of customer initiatives designed to attract and retain loyal customers, and spur the growth of its recently deployed FYE (For Your Entertainment) brand via its 700 mall-based retail stores and fye.com website.

Facing challenges from mass merchandisers encroaching upon its traditional product areas, along with disruptive technologies (such as peer-to-peer file sharing) changing the face of entertainment distribution, Trans World Entertainment engaged business strategy and technology solutions firm DiamondCluster to manage a fast-paced new product development lifecycle.
A cross-functional team of DiamondCluster consultants worked with executives and associates across the Trans World Entertainment organization to design, develop and deploy an array of customer-facing technologies. Specific deployments include:

-- Listening and Viewing Stations - Proprietary fixture-mounted devices use bright color screens, connected headphones and digital distribution to allow customers to scan and sample all of the more than 50,000 products available in a retail location.

-- Deep Catalog Kiosks - Touch screen Windows XP devices let customers discover and purchase the hundreds of thousands of products available across the FYE chain.

-- fye.com - Trans World Entertainment`s flagship online retail environment offers tailored merchandising and deep product information through web-based navigation tools.

-- Windows Messenger Tab - An instant messaging companion provides customers with exposure to music, movies and games in line with each customer`s unique preferences.

-- Customer Relationship Management Resources - A robust information repository and analytical tools that will enable Trans World marketers and merchandisers to deliver tailored experiences to customers across sales channels and store locations. This platform also provides the flexibility to, over time, expand Trans World Entertainment`s service offerings and promotions into new arenas.

``DiamondCluster has played an integral role in the success of Trans World`s customer initiatives,`` said Robert J. Higgins, Chairman and CEO of Trans World Entertainment. ``Our executives have counted on their strategic insight and technology expertise as key ingredients to the realization of the new FYE experience.``

Trans World Entertainment`s customer initiatives are part of a broader vision to maintain and expand Trans World`s leadership role in the entertainment industry by using technology to deepen its customer relationships and create more meaningful interactions tailored to individuals.

``Our involvement with Trans World Entertainment exemplifies the impact achievable through DiamondCluster`s multidisciplinary and collaborative style of consulting,`` said Brent Lohrmann, Managing Partner of the Retail and Consumer Products Practice. ``Our consultants` ability to straddle the retail and technology environments led to the design of pragmatic solutions and timely delivery of systems -- results that equate to real business value for a world-class company.``

Trans World Entertainment and DiamondCluster are currently piloting the Listening/Viewing Stations, Deep Catalog Kiosks and a new ``Backstage Pass`` customer loyalty program throughout the United States. Various initiatives are available at Trans World retail locations in New York, NY; Albany, NY; Detroit, MI; Hartford, CT and Tampa/St. Petersburg, FL. Starting in Q1 2002, Trans World will roll out its initiatives nationwide.

servus,
es gibt schon die ersten EDIG-Leute, die ihre aktien in
OBJX getauscht haben:

Thanks for your efforts

I`m a former EDIG investor and I have say that OBJX has delivered what I has originally expected and anticipated from e.Digital. You are absolutely correct and fundamentally OBJX has a sound business plan and has executed their plan -- to the point whereby they`ve bested e.Digital among contracting firms.

What it all comes down to is the quality of management and OBJX has definitely demonstrated that they have a quality management team.

Best of luck to everyone.

Wilson

[Fargate]

Der Tausch wird eine kluge Entscheidung sein. Kurs könnte
nun bis an die 2 $ in den nächsten Tagen gehen !!!!!!

[Brummbär]

Hi,
Fargate,
bevor wir die $2 erreichen, müssen wir wohl erst den nächsten Widerstand $1,5 überwinden. Eine kleine Korrekrur in Richtung $1,10 - $1,15 würde ich nicht ausschließen. Dies ist jedoch gesund und sollte für viele eine willkommene Gelegenheit sein noch auf den fahrende Zug aufzusteigen. Ich kenne noch einen Brokerfreund, der noch gerne einsteigen möchte.



Gruß,
Brummbär

[Brummbär]

Hi,
Wickerl,
meiner Meinung nach hat dieser Wilson genau den Punkt getroffen, warum OBJX besser sein wird als EDIG.
Ich hoffe, das Wilson einverstanden ist, das ich seinen RB-Beitrag hier reinstelle:

"I know a lot...

My intent is not to spend time on these boards. I do know enough to know where some of the bodies are buried. At this point EDIG`s management lacks credibility and their "creative" financing has hurt investors. The stock is grossly overvalued.

Even the huge drop in its share price isn`t the real problem its the hype and the failure of the company to execute its business plan.

Yes, I do know in cases of direct competition, OBJX has bested e.Digital. That`s all I have to say and it`s unimportant who I am. What is important is that OBJX has proven themselves in their revenue growth, partnerships, and execution of the business plan. EDIG on the other hand has not.

EDIG`s hype ironically has the positive effect of bringing attention to this sector however I anticipate that the best managed company has the best opportunity for success. OBJX management cut their teeth working for and partnering with the most successful companies on the planet.

Objectively however applying the same criteria, OBJX has demonstrated themselves as being best positions for the risk involved.

Once again thanks for your efforts and fortitude.

Wilson"

Music Retailer Embarks on Customer Loyalty Offensive
By Dan McDonough, Jr., www.CRMDaily.com
Music, movies and games retailer Trans World Entertainment (Nasdaq: TWMC - news) has tapped Chicago-based DiamondCluster International (Nasdaq: DTPI - news) to set up several new initiatives to attract and retain customers.
DiamondCluster said it has created user-friendly, interactive systems to draw in customers at Trans World`s 700 mall-based retail locations. It also has deployed numerous CRM tools for use by Trans World marketers and tinkered with Trans World`s Web site to make navigation a bit easier.
DiamondCluster said all of its efforts have been focused on buoying Trans World`s new For Your Entertainment (FYE) brand.
Catalogs and Kiosks
Trans World`s initiatives in this space are in direct response not only to traditional competition, but also to all the entertainment file sharing that has run rampant on the Napster (news - web sites)-era Internet. Because it has become more challenging to sell music and similar products through traditional outlets these days, Trans World`s goal is to marry technology to the retail environment.
"Our consultants` ability to straddle the retail and technology environments led to the design ... and timely delivery of [pragmatic] systems," said Brent Lohrmann, managing partner of DiamondCluster`s retail and consumer products practice.
At FYE`s retail spots, DiamondCluster helped Trans World roll out touch-screen catalog kiosks and interactive listening and viewing stations.
The kiosks run on the Windows XP (news - web sites) operating system and let customers find hundreds of thousands of products available through FYE. Listening and viewing stations -- consisting of color screens and headphones -- allow customers to sample more than 50,000 products on the spot.
Collecting Data
Trans World said one of its new systems includes a CRM information repository of data on its customers, plus analytical tools designed to help Trans World marketers harness that information to create tailored experiences for customers. DiamondCluster said the CRM system is expandable, so Trans World can add to its service offerings and promotions.
DiamondCluster said it also beefed up the FYE.com Web site with tailored merchandising and lots of product data. With the new Windows Messenger Tab deployed at the site, users can access music, movies and games through an instant messaging device.
These retail kiosks and stations will be deployed nationwide beginning in early 2002, according to the companies. DiamondCluster said the systems currently are being tested in a few U.S. locations.

Hi Leute,

schaut mal auf ]url]http://www.twec.com/corpsite/vision/[/url]

Hier wird von Trans World Entertainment ganz nett dargestellt, wie das LVS eingesetzt werden soll.



In 2001, Trans World Entertainment launched a new, unified brand – and unveiled a new vision of entertainment retail: ubiquitous, interactive and customer-centric.
The concept is unprecedented. The timing is ideal. From the one Company with the strength, resources and expertise to make it real and do it right.

Hi,

“never stop playing.” The newly-unveiled tagline of FYE, part of a national brand launch, promises unlimited opportunities for our customers – and sums up the tremendous possibilities for Trans World in the new century.

Our new unified, cross-channel brand will spur tremendous growth – beginning with each customer. With greater loyalty will come greater share of wallet, and long-term, sustainable success.

FYE will ensure that Trans World is leading this growth.

We`re ready – to tap everything we know, to leverage everything we are, to redefine the retail entertainment industry to continue leading the way.

Gibt es da schon irgendwelche Meinungen?

Und - lässt sich diese Technik vermarkten und als Lizenz verkaufen?

Hi,
Rick,
dein letztes Bildchen zeigt anschaulich, wie diese neue Technologie von iObjects eingesetzt wird. Danke!

Hermann,
allein die Tatsache, dass 25.000 Kiosks mit diesen Geräten ausgerüstet werden, lässt meinen Puls in die Höhe schnellen. Egal wie ich rechne, iObjects wird im 1. Quartal 02 alleine mit diesem Gerät soviel Umsatz machen, wie noch nie zuvor.

Trans World wird sicherlich nicht das einzige Unternehmen sein, welche diese Technologie anwenden wird. Weitere Musik- und Videounternehmen werden folgen!

Lizenzen für dieses Produkt? Sicherlich nicht auszuschließen, warten wir es ab.

POGO! PRODUCTS INTRODUCES ITS NEW SPRINGBOARD™ MODULES FOR HANDSPRING™ VISOR™ TO THE MARKET

DataQuake™ Brings 8 MB and 16 MB of Memory Expansion with Silent Alarm and Vibrating Functionality to the Visor

Brea, CA -November 20, 2001 - Pogo! Products launched their first product to the consumer market today, the DataQuake™
Springboard™ module. Available in 8MB and 16MB versions, the DataQuake provides memory expansion with silent alarm functionality for
the Handspring™ Visor™. It also includes vibration and a flashing LED to add the illusion of rumbles, thuds and explosions to games.

The DataQuake allows people to safely and easily store applications and data with the extra memory and included File Mover application. It
also permits the practice of high handheld etiquette by silencing those sometimes annoying alarms. This is achieved by setting the handheld to
a visual LED alert, or one of three vibrating alerts, any time where chirps and beeps are not appropriate-such as during movies or meetings.

"We are pleased to be introducing PoGo! Products, at the same time as launching our first consumer product to the market, our DataQuake
Springboard module," said Andy Park, Vice President of PoGo! Products. "We have many new products that will be introduced at Comdex
this year. Pogo! Products is not limited to the handheld market, but will launch many fun and exciting gadgets in the near future."

"The DataQuake Springboard module offers our Visors customers much more than extra memory. It makes gaming on Visors more fun and
interesting with the vibration feature, and it also brings the convenience of a silent, blinking alarm," said Rita Sharma, business development
manager for Handspring.

PoGo! Products will bring to market all the best ideas in cutting edge gadgets and accessories.. From expansion modules for the popular
Handspring Visor handhelds, to must-have electronic tools for work, and toys for play. PoGo! Product`s team of designers and inventors are
defining the new rules for what is progressive, fun, and functional, with products that are feature-filled with a provocative industrial design
and have an interface that will appeal to consumers` deepest "must have" instincts.

DataQuake is now available for $69.00 for the 8MB version and $99.00 for the 16MB version and may be purchased at PalmGear
(www.palmgear.com). For more information contact Christine Fullerton at 408-842-7269 or [e-mail]

About PoGo! Products
Products Inc. is the collaborative effort of industry veterans who are known leaders in the consumer electronic space. Corporate
headquarters for PoGo! Products and home base for sales and customer service is located in Brea, California, with all manufacturing of
product done in Asia with engineering teams in both locations. www.pogoproducts.com.

@ Brummbär
25.000 Kiosks ?? Woher ist denn diese Zahl? Habe ich nicht gesehen.
Wenn das stimmt, kann ich meinen Puls auch nicht unter Kontrolle halten.

Aber in diesem Zusammenhang wäre es auch interessant, was OBJX an jedem Kiosk verdient und ob dieser Verdienst variabel ist (nach Nutzung) oder ein Fixbetrag ist.

Ich habe jetzt doch das Gefühl, dass OBJX hier stark unterbewertet ist.

Gruss
Hermann

[hermann22]

Übrigens - mit meiner Frage nach Lizenzen meinte ich die MP3-Aufnahmemöglichkeit:

(Interactive Objects Launches Breakthrough Price/Performance Solution for Digital Audio Recording;MP3 Encoding Enabled on Low Cost Processors / Nov. 12, 2001)

Wenn diese Technik eine hohe Qualität hat, wird die Vermarktung auch schnell gehen und die ersten Lizensierungsabkommen werden bald veröffentlicht. Entscheidend ist hier natürlich, ob die Konkurrenz nachziehen kann oder nicht.

So wie es aussieht, steht OBJX im Moment genau an der Gewinnschwelle und die nächsten Zahlen werden Freude bereiten.

Übrigens: Kurs OBJX: 21.11. 15.37 Uhr US$ 1,43 bezahlt!

Also echt!

Mir hat schon lange keine Aktie mehr so viel Freude gemacht wie OBJX momentan (und ich hab ziemlich viele OTC-Werte durchprobiert).

Schade, dass mein Cash auf Null ist!

[Brummbär]

Hi Hermann,
sorry, es sind natürlich ca. 25.000 Einheiten!

http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/011114/140039_3.html
The company delivered the first shipments of the in-store listening and
viewing stations that have been custom designed for Trans World
Entertainment, Inc. Several stores in the pilot program are up and running
and early customer feedback has been great. As announced previously, Trans
World plans to roll out approximately 25,000 devices throughout their 730
FYE mall-based specialty retail stores in 2002.

Ob sich diese Solution für Digital Audio Recording gut vermarkten lässt?
Ich selbst habe noch nichts vergleichbares auf den mobilen MP3-Markt gesehen. Gehen wir einfach davon aus, dass sich nach Pogo (RipDrive, kommt bald!) noch weitere Lizenzvereinbarung folgen.

Mittelfristig ist iObjects für die digitale Zukunft sehr gut gerüstet und wird aufgrund seiner breiten Produktpalette von einem Aufschwung schnell profitieren. Nachdem wir uns immer mehr von der Massenfertigung einfacher Elektronikprodukte verabschieden, liegt der Schwerpunkt heute auf hochwertigen Technologie-Lösungen. Es werden immer mehr Geräte miteinander verknüpft; tragbare MP3 Player, Home- und Car-Audiosysteme, Computer, TV, Videosysteme..., am besten drahtlos. Im Rampenlicht wird deshalb die drahtlose Übertragungstechnik stehen. Ich spekuliere auf baldige News, eventuell sogar auf Patent(e).

Nun, mein Pulsschlag hat sich noch nicht beruhigt. Im Gegenteil, mein Gefühl sagt mir, dass bald noch ein paar News kommen werden. Dennis Tevlin soll derzeitig sehr stark beschäftigt sein.

Gruß,
Brummbär

Btw, ist euch schon aufgefallen, dass iObjects mittlerweile nicht nur mit Cirrus Logic, sondern auch Intel und Texas Instruments zusammenarbeitet?

HI LEUTE,

ein bisschen Spekulation (!!!):

COMDEX: Gmate to debut Linux PDA next month

LAS VEGAS - Gmate Co. Ltd. plans to put on sale its long-awaited Linux-based PDA (personal digital assistant) in December, the company announced at Comdex Fall.

The Yopy PDA made its first public appearance at the CeBIT trade show in Germany last year and at the time the company said it was aiming to launch the product in late 2000, although an ongoing development project with Linux programmers around the world led to the delay of the commercial launch.

At the same time as this work was going on, developers at the company`s headquarters just outside of Seoul, South Korea, also redesigned the Yopy to come up with a folding-type design, much like a clamshell type cell phone, that has a 3.5 inch reflective LCD (liquid crystal display) panel in the upper half of the device and a 40-key keypad occupying the lower half. The display has 240-by-320 pixel resolution and the device packs 64M bytes of main memory.

Based on Intel Corp.`s StrongARM processor, the machine runs the ARM Linux operating system and X Windows. This gives users access to thousands of applications developed to run on X Windows and a standard platform on which new applications can be developed, said Lee Sang Don, general manager of Gmate.

Preinstalled software applications will include a Web browser, MP3 player, simple image editing software, e-mail application, address book and scheduler. It will be able to synchronize data with Microsoft Outlook and Lotus Notes.

The Yopy will first go on sale in South Korea in December and sales in the rest of the world will follow as soon as distribution deals have been finalized, Lee said. It will cost 490,000 won (US$380) in South Korea and the company is hoping to sell it for about $450 in the U.S. An additional CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) modem that clips onto the back of the device and supports the high-speed CDMA2000 system will also be available for about 200,000 won.

It measures 4.0 by 2.7 by 0.6 inches (10.2 by 6.9 by 1.5 cm) and weighs 5 ounces (140 grams). Battery life is better than 12 hours, according to Lee, and about 8 hours when the CDMA module is in use. To prolong battery life, the modem module has its own supplemental battery pack.

Gmate, in Pundang, South Korea, can be reached via the Web at http://www.gmate.co.kr/.





Vielleicht ist das das erste Produkt auf Linux-Basis, in dem OBJX-Technologie drin steckt ?? ( MP3-Player, Multimedia-Functionality,..)

Nur so ein Gedanke. Reine Spekulation !

An TheCooleWickerl

Betrifft SPAZ.
Die gleiche Frage habe ich mir auch gestellt.
Ich war seit fast 2 Jahren long in den Spazen; dass sich da allmählich Enttäuschung breit macht, ist wohl verständlich.
Vor allem wenn in einer relativen Aufschwung-Phase der Treue-Wert aufgrund schlechter Zahlen noch weiter absackt.
Aber so ganz abgeschrieben habe ich sie dennoch nicht.

Meine Entscheidung: Ich habe mich von zwei Dritteln meiner (ziemlich vielen) Spazen getrennt und umgeschichtet.
Teilweise in OBJX, teilweise in EBNK, teilweise in deutsche Werte.

Es gibt viele bekannte Börsensprüche, die hier passen:
"Never fight the trend"
"Nicht alles auf ein Pferd setzen"
"Hin und her macht Taschen leer"
...

...

Und der bekannteste: Schaun mer mal!

Ich habe so das Gefühl, das Volumen beginnt größer zu werden.

Vielen Dank im Voraus,

[hermann22]

Hallo Brummbär,
für amerikanische Kurse kann ich Datek (www.datek.com) nur empfehlen. Du machst dort einfach ein Konto auf, ohne jemals Geld zu schicken oder die Papiere einzureichen und Du bekommst kostenlos "Streaming-Real-Time-Kurse" + "Times and Sales".

Und falls Du dann doch mal in den USA traden willst, kannst Du die Papiere ja immer noch abschicken.

Den Zugang halten die für Dich offen und die Real-Time Kurse bleiben. Sehr zu empfehlen !! Probiers doch einfach mal aus.

Bei deutschen Kursen kann ich leider nicht helfen.

Hi Herrmann,

vielen Dank für deine Hilfe!

Btw, DataPlay (Partner von iObjects) entwickelt interessante Produkte:

Z.B.:

DataPlay USB Player/Recorder:


 Compact and portable
 Use any USB-compatible computer to record & playback everything digital.


Magiceyes mkivki:


 Portable multimedia player
 MP3 player , PDA
 2D Game, Voice Recorder, Digital Still Camera, PC Camera
 Portable TV

“ With 250 MB and 500MB capacities, Dataplay is clearly front and center as a pioneer in the area of micro-optical storage technology aimed at Digital Audio. Because of its size (about the size of a matchbook cover), its performance (1 MB/sec transfer rate) which allows it to record and transfer data faster than a CD, and its low power consumption which makes it an ideal platform for battery powered portables, demand is expected to ramp quickly for consumer digital audio appliances based on Dataplay technology. iObjects is the first company to do technical integration of the Dataplay drive for Cirrus Logic based platforms through Dharma. Companies licensing Dharma hardware platforms through Cirrus Logic and iObjects will have immediate ‘out-of-the-box hardware support for Dataplay integration in their Cirrus Maverick based products. Through software, Dadio will additionally provide device specific optimizations for Dataplay digital audio appliances. The iObjects/Dataplay partnership is one of the exciting things happening in digital audio in 2001.”

- wurden von uns fragen gestellt, die er jetzt noch nicht beantworten darf?

"11/27/01 - OBJX - Informational Update:

Dear Investor to Investor readers:

I have been spending time lately trying to pull together new information on Interactive Objects, Inc. It is not so easy to find since the company keeps most of its information closely held. I am still waiting for Dennis Tevlin to find the time to give his answers to the list of thirty questions I sent him a while back. He recently told me it was on the back burner because he is working very hard and doing a lot of overtime on business for Interactive Objects. That’s okay with me and we shall have to be patient for the answers to be forthcoming when his schedule allows him the time to do the questions justice.

It is interesting to note that Interactive Objects appears to be more than contemplating a name change to FullPlayMedia.com. This was recently speculated on due to a mention on the CES website as follows:

Interactive Objects, Inc., now Fullplay Media Systems, provides software engineering, industrial design, and manufacturing services to leading technology companies. iObjects specializes in developing next generation entertainment media devices, from portable MP3 players to personal video recorders, and licenses custom hardware configurations, operating systems, and product designs to OEMs."

http://www.cesweb.org/exhibitor_dir/eims_exhibitor_details.a…

The following information from “WhoIs” seems to back up the information on the CES 2002 web site, although Dennis Tevlin has refused to verify it when asked, and stated that he did not comment on third party information. I would assume that he is working on something that will be an official announcement at some time in the future. Since this is hardly a heavily guarded secret.

Hi,

http://news.moneycentral.msn.com/ticker/article.asp?Feed=BW&…

Trans World Entertainment/FYE and Interactive Objects Launch New In-Store Multimedia Station
October 24, 2001 2:01:00 PM ET

BELLEVUE, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 24, 2001--Interactive Objects `iObjects`(OTC:OBJX), a leading designer of embedded software and hardware solutions for digital media appliances, and Trans World Entertainment Corporation TWMC, the nation`s largest mall-based specialty music retailer, today announced the launch of Trans World`s new Listening and Viewing Station (LVS) system at its flagship FYE store in Rockefeller Center, New York City.

The LVS system connects multimedia preview stations within any single store location to a Microsoft XP server that provides access to all of the songs and videos from the store`s catalog of titles. Using Windows Media 8 technology to store and stream content, songs and videos can be accessed and previewed from any device at any time. The system will roll out to 21 stores in 5 major markets across the U.S. by the end of November and is part of an overall strategic initiative to re-brand the Company`s 730 mall-based specialty stores and its web site under a single, unified brand, FYE (for your entertainment). The additional stores are scheduled for a phased rollout beginning in 2002.

The LVS device, which was designed by iObjects, is one of the first to support Microsoft`s Windows Media 8 technology; incorporating both WMA audio and MPEG level 4 video playback. The device contains a UPC bar code scanner and content recognition software that matches bar code data with the content`s metadata stored on a server. Shoppers simply scan any CD or DVD in the store to access a particular song or video. The LVS device also features a proximity-based recommendations engine that helps guide customers to similar content in the area surrounding the device.

"This system represents a major breakthrough in distributed media systems design," said Dennis Tevlin, president and CEO of iObjects. "We have created a low cost, state of the art system that can gracefully evolve to incorporate new features and services such as Microsoft`s .NET-based technologies. The LVS system represents the vanguard of a new type of multimedia experience in retail, hospitality, exhibition and in-seat entertainment. Trans World is at the forefront of this revolution."

The re-branding initiative is the result of an 18-month in-depth analysis of the changing entertainment marketplace, the technology revolution and the emerging wired lifestyle, as well as extensive customer research. It is designed to drive sales and build brand equity by increasing the number and consistency of customer touchpoints and increasing efficiency in advertising and marketing functions. FYE will create a more relevant shopping experience for consumers, expanding product selection across the entertainment spectrum.

"Our objective is to leverage our expertise in music and entertainment to build long-lasting relationships with our customers, said Trans World vice president of marketing, Mark Hogan. "Our partnership with innovative technology companies such as iObjects helps move us closer toward achieving our goal of broadening our customer base while fully realizing the benefits of a multi-market, multi-channel strategy."

Trans World Entertainment/FYE and Interactive Objects Launch New In-Store Multimedia Station
October 24, 2001 2:01:00 PM ET

BELLEVUE, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 24, 2001--Interactive Objects `iObjects`(OTC:OBJX), a leading designer of embedded software and hardware solutions for digital media appliances, and Trans World Entertainment Corporation TWMC, the nation`s largest mall-based specialty music retailer, today announced the launch of Trans World`s new Listening and Viewing Station (LVS) system at its flagship FYE store in Rockefeller Center, New York City.

The LVS system connects multimedia preview stations within any single store location to a Microsoft XP server that provides access to all of the songs and videos from the store`s catalog of titles. Using Windows Media 8 technology to store and stream content, songs and videos can be accessed and previewed from any device at any time. The system will roll out to 21 stores in 5 major markets across the U.S. by the end of November and is part of an overall strategic initiative to re-brand the Company`s 730 mall-based specialty stores and its web site under a single, unified brand, FYE (for your entertainment). The additional stores are scheduled for a phased rollout beginning in 2002.

The LVS device, which was designed by iObjects, is one of the first to support Microsoft`s Windows Media 8 technology; incorporating both WMA audio and MPEG level 4 video playback. The device contains a UPC bar code scanner and content recognition software that matches bar code data with the content`s metadata stored on a server. Shoppers simply scan any CD or DVD in the store to access a particular song or video. The LVS device also features a proximity-based recommendations engine that helps guide customers to similar content in the area surrounding the device.

"This system represents a major breakthrough in distributed media systems design," said Dennis Tevlin, president and CEO of iObjects. "We have created a low cost, state of the art system that can gracefully evolve to incorporate new features and services such as Microsoft`s .NET-based technologies. The LVS system represents the vanguard of a new type of multimedia experience in retail, hospitality, exhibition and in-seat entertainment. Trans World is at the forefront of this revolution."

The re-branding initiative is the result of an 18-month in-depth analysis of the changing entertainment marketplace, the technology revolution and the emerging wired lifestyle, as well as extensive customer research. It is designed to drive sales and build brand equity by increasing the number and consistency of customer touchpoints and increasing efficiency in advertising and marketing functions. FYE will create a more relevant shopping experience for consumers, expanding product selection across the entertainment spectrum.

"Our objective is to leverage our expertise in music and entertainment to build long-lasting relationships with our customers, said Trans World vice president of marketing, Mark Hogan. "Our partnership with innovative technology companies such as iObjects helps move us closer toward achieving our goal of broadening our customer base while fully realizing the benefits of a multi-market, multi-channel strategy."

Email from Dennis Tevlin on new LVS kiosk rollout:

I don`t know why it took a month to get to my email, but it is better late than never. It is useful information on the LVS rollout:

Subj: Trans World and iObjects launch new in-store system
Date: 11/28/01 1:42:09 PM Eastern Standard Time
From: [e-mail]
To: [e-mail]
Sent from the Internet (Details)

Greetings,
Today we announced the launch of the new Trans World multimedia preview station (LVS) at Trans World`s flagship FYE store in New York City. The new system, which was designed by iObjects using our Dharma media platform, will roll out to 21 stores in 5 major markets across the U.S. by the end of November and is part of an overall strategic initiative to re-brand the Company`s 730 mall-based specialty stores and its web site under a single, unified brand, FYE (for your entertainment). The additional stores are scheduled for a phased rollout beginning in 2002.

We are extremely excited about this product as it represents the leading edge of distributed media systems and showcases iObjects` design capabilities. The LVS system is one of the first to be Microsoft .NET ready and will incorporate new .NET services as the they come online.

It`s also the first to non-PC product to use Microsoft`s Windows Media 8 technology, allowing for the streaming of both WMA audio and MPEG level 4 video. The entire system is fully integrated with Microsoft`s new XP operating system, using XP-based content servers to store and stream songs and videos within each store, and to connect with a back end operations center via a wide area network.

The system also incorporates iObjects` new Media Manager software system. This allows multiple devices on a single network to decode audio and video on the fly. Each device contains a UPC bar code scanner and iObjects` content recognition software that matches bar code data with the content`s metadata stored on a server. Shoppers simply scan any CD or DVD in the store to access a particular song or video. The LVS device also features iObjects` new proximity-based recommendations engine that helps guide customers to similar content in the area surrounding the device. In order to measure and improve the system`s return on investment, the device supports advertising and promotional inserts, and connects with the store`s point of sale system to track browser to buyer conversion, and measure the impact of promotional messages on average transaction size and customer closure rates. For easy in-store maintenance, the device is powered directly through its network connection and is completely self-enclosed.

Once again, iObjects has demonstrated its rapid time to market design capabilities and the advantages of its Dharma platform technology. We were able to design and deploy this system in less than 6 months from the date of our original agreement, and provide a purpose built system that offers advanced functionality and increased reliability at a lower cost. I am also pleased that iObjects was able to essentially come out of nowhere to win what is being viewed within the industry as the premier retail kiosk deal in the US. Many companies focus their entire business on this market. The core system, which iObjects retains the rights to resell, is applicable to a plethora of commercial applications including retails kiosks, in-seat entertainment systems, museum and exhibit hall kiosk systems, on demand AV systems in hotels, and commercial media subsription systems in retail and hospitality.

So,
und jetzt das hier:
Microsofts Visionen für das traute Heim

Bill Gates träumt schon länger von elektronisch bis unters Dach ausgerüsteten Häusern, die ihren Bewohnern die Wünsche quasi von den Augen ablesen. Für die Verwirklichung dieser Vision existiert bei Microsoft seit Februar 2001 die Abteilung eHome. Bisher werkelte sie eher im Verborgenen. Nun hat eHome-Vizepräsident Mike Toutonghi in einem Vortrag die Ziele seiner Abteilung geschildert -- und warum Windows XP zu ihrer Verwirklichung ein großer Schritt sei.

Die Quintessenz lautet: Der PC soll das ganze Leben durchdringen. Seine Möglichkeiten sollen so erweitert werden, dass er als ganzheitliches System der Unterhaltung dient, der Kommunikation und der Bequemlichkeit. Dabei soll die Technik vor allem einfach zu handhaben sein und sich vollständig den Bedürfnissen ihrer Benutzer anpassen.

Immer mehr Menschen würden heute mit einem PC nicht nur arbeiten, sondern auch beispielsweise Fotos betrachten, Aufgabenlisten schreiben, ihren Kalender führen, Musik hören, CDs brennen und DVD-Filme betrachten. Dementsprechend landeten PCs öfter auch in Wohnzimmern. Heute schon gebe es in sechs Prozent der Haushalte ein Heimnetzwerk, 68 Prozent davon für den privaten Gebrauch und nicht, um damit zu arbeiten.

Windows XP schaffe die Voraussetzung dafür, dass sich weit mehr Heime als die bisherigen sechs Prozent vernetzen. Mit dem Betriebssystem sei dies so einfach, wie es sich die Kunden wünschten, meint Toutonghi. Die Welt der Medien werde immer mehr digital. Insgesamt würde dadurch vieles leichter, doch wir befänden uns noch in einer frühen Phase der Entwicklung, in der für die Anwender noch vieles kompliziert sei. Windows XP sieht er als einen Meilenstein für die weitere Entwicklung an. Es sei stabil, einfach zu handhaben und eigne sich gut für die Bearbeitung und Wiedergabe digitaler Medien.
Inzwischen hätten Menschen die Wahl zwischen einer Fülle elektronischer Geräte. Bei allen Chancen, die damit verbunden seien, bestünde laut Toutonghi die Gefahr einer "technologischen Überlastung". Darum sollen sich die Entwickler bei Microsoft um die Gewohnheiten und Wünsche der Menschen kümmern. Es könnte so beispielsweise vielleicht einmal ein Adressbuch geben, das überall zur Anwendung kommen kann, wo es gebraucht werden könnte: In einem E-Mail-Programm, am Telefon oder beim Messaging. Also ein Adressbuch, das "einfach nur ein Adressbuch ist".

Zukünftig will Toutonghi nicht nur an Windows feilen. Wichtig sei auch eine Kooperation mit Partnern aus der Industrie, um mit ihnen zusammen ein "vielfältiges Ökosystem der Geräte" zu schaffen. Dabei ginge es nicht um Schnelligkeit. Die Verbraucher würden ihre vorhandenen Gerätschaften nicht einfach gegen völlig neue austauschen. Deshalb ginge es eher darum, Geräte zu entwickeln, die die Brücke schlagen zwischen heutiger und zukünftiger Technologie.

...und zum Schluß noch eine etwas ältere, jedoch noch nicht so bekannte Sache:
iObjects sings new tune - Tech startup inks 5-year deal with Cirrus Logic

2001-04-23
by Cydney Gillis
Journal Business Reporter

BELLEVUE -- So the rock `n` roll career didn`t work out.

After eight years at Microsoft Corp., guitarist and songwriter Dennis Tevlin isn`t too worried.

In late 1999, Tevlin, 41, retired from Microsoft to take a break -- and play nightclub gigs in Seattle with a 4-year-old alternative rock band, Banbury Cross.

When the band broke up last year, Tevlin moved on, taking over in July as the new president and in October as chief executive at Bellevue-based Interactive Objects Inc.

Tevlin is now leading iObjects, as the company is known, to fame and fortune as one of the nation`s rising superstars in the field of digital audio.

Five-year-old iObjects is an engineering firm that designs hardware and software for digital music players. That includes two handheld players the company helped create last year --the I-Jam WinJam and the Iomega HipZip.

This year, the company is rolling out its first hardware product: ``Darwin,`` a digital audio receiver due out this summer.

The first product of its kind, Darwin combines a CD player and an Internet radio in what looks like a stereo component, except that it connects to a PC via an electrical circuit or an ethernet running on phone lines.

To be priced at $299, Darwin will not only play but encode (or capture) music files in MP3, Windows Media or just about any other format -- it`s up to the consumer, Tevlin says.

The receiver is built on Dharma, a complete digital audio development platform (or circuit board) ``stacked`` with iObjects` audio operating system.

``All of our product names have some kind of inner meaning,`` Tevlin laughed. ``Dharma orders the universe, Darwin is the evolution of the species.``

Microsoft, Cirrus on board

Because of the platform`s versatility -- and the fact it`s ready to rock on creating other products -- Tevlin said manufacturers are starting to jump on board.

One of them is Microsoft, which not only ``graduated`` Tevlin but five other iObjects` managers and board members. In March, Microsoft executives were the first to debut a working prototype of Darwin at the Redmond software maker`s annual Windows Hardware Engineering Conference in Anaheim.

Also in March, iObjects started design work on in-store kiosks for Trans World Entertainment Corp., which owns and operates 730 Record Town, Camelot, and Disc Jockey and other mall music stores.

Tevlin explained the kiosks will make it possible to scan any CD or video package in the store to hear songs or view a clip from that item.

And, today, iObjects is announcing it has signed a five-year deal to sublicense its Dharma board to Austin, Texas-based Cirrus Logic, an audio chip maker whose products run some 80 percent of today`s digital music players, including the Diamond Rio.

``Rather than having to ... custom develop everything,`` Tevlin explained, a manufacturer ``can now (use Dharma) and be 80 percent done.``

``Within 3 months,`` he added, ``they can have a product on the market`` where normally it would take 12.

With other deals the company has in the works, that means Dharma could be running everything from car stereos to home receivers this time next year, with iObjects collecting royalties on each product sold.

``It`s a very good business model in terms of high-margin royalty,`` said Stan Corker, an analyst who follows iObjects for equity research firm Emerald Research of Lancaster, Pa.

For its long-term growth potential, Corker rates iObjects as a ``buy.``

From design to dominance

Before Tevlin`s arrival, iObjects` future was not so bright. In fact, the company nearly failed with an Internet business model.

In 1995, the company started out to write a type of commercial Web software, which turned out not to have a revenue stream.

In what Microsofties call a ``skunk works`` or personal project, engineer Mark Phillips -- iObjects` chief technology officer -- then stumbled across an idea to reinvent the company ``Mark was the kind of kid who when he was 12 years old was taking apart (personal digital assistants),`` Tevlin laughed. ``You can see a whole history of every handheld device that`s ever been created if you go over to Mark`s house. It`s like a museum.

``So he started taking apart these early MP3 players and (realized) you couldn`t put software on it,`` he said.

Phillips set out to change that by writing a software program to play MP3 music files on Microsoft`s Windows CE operating system for handheld devices.

When he demonstrated it to Microsoft, the company asked him to develop another player for its then brand-name Windows Media format.

In 1999, Microsoft bought Phillips` work, which became the media player in the Pocket PC released last year.

That led in January 2000 to a new lease on life: iObjects released a new portable MP3 platform that became basis for MP3 players made by I-Jam and Iomega.

After he took over last July, Tevlin explained, ``Mark and I dreamed up this idea of having this multipurpose platform and then had the brainstorm of selling it to Cirrus Logic.``

Back in business

Today, the company is humming with business -- and the hijinx of happy times.

On a recent tour of iObjects` offices -- 7,500 square feet of space in the Factoria area -- Tevlin showed off a floor-to-ceiling wall of Mountain Dew soda cans stacked in one engineer`s office.

In another office stood a Christmas tree, complete with blinking lights and wrapped gifts. Next door, in Phillips` office, a small Sony Vaio notebook computer displayed a live video feed of those entering the room.

``In (the science fiction novel) `Dune,` you`re not supposed to have your back to the door,`` Phillips said.

In a product testing lab, with a Darwin playing some blues guitar in the background, Tevlin explained that the unit may not produce all the highs and lows needed for symphony music.

But, in most cases, said Tevlin, who played in rock bands throughout college and considers himself an audiophile, it`s hard to tell the difference with today`s music.

``I like to think of this as the re-emergence of the consumer electronics industry in the United States,`` Tevlin said. ``What you see now is a transition, where companies like Palm, TiVo and Rio are the hot companies in these new emerging categories.

``The key thing,`` he added, ``is software.``

Hi Herrmann,

die 30 Fragen durften wir leider nicht vorher lesen.

Von Kathy: "Questions for Dennis Tevlin were forwarded to him"
http://www.megastockchat.com/objx/message.asp?msgser=347&

"I have sent a list of 30 questions for Dennis Tevlin to answer as he has time. I will post them as soon as he returns them with his well thought out answers.

I had a large list of questions received from places as far away as Italy, Spain, Germany and around the country. It took me some time to clean them up and weed out the duplicates, but I think they cover a pretty large area.

Kathy"

Ich kann dir meine Fragen anbieten
1. Microsoft appear to be a very important partner for iObjects. However, I have the impression that the co-operation is much more intensive than the public thinks. Which projects were completed in the last six months, and which projects are currently being worked on?

2. The combination of audio and video compression seems interesting. UMTS will be introduced in Europe next year. UMTS is comparable with the Japanese FOMA, and is to be used for the mobile downloading of pieces of music, videos and pictures. Will iobjects raise itself to this challenge?

(Die 3. Frage war nicht so treffend)

oder frag einfach Kathy [e-mail].

Gruß,
Brummbär

Btw, habt ihr euch Wickerl`s Beitrag genauer durchgelesen. Offensichtlich wird der Name "iObjects" bald in "Fullplay Media Systems" geändert?

[hermann22]

Hallo Brummbär,
vielen Dank für die Aufklärung. Das mit den 30 Fragen ist irgendwie an mir vorbeigegangen. Aber jetzt ist klar, warum ich die 30 Fragen nicht finden konnte.

Deine beiden Fragen finde ich sehr interessant. Gerade im Hinblick auf UMTS kann man schon Phantasie entwickeln. Dies würde ja 100% passen. Aber davon sollten wir vielleicht nicht träumen. Daran arbeiten sicherlich noch andere und grössere Unternehmen. Aber wenn ..., wäre das der totale Wahnsinn.

Was die vermeintliche Namensänderung betrifft, bin ich mal gespannt, ob die tatsächlich kommt und wie das dann verkauft wird. Es könnte schon sein, dass da noch andere Veränderungen anstehen. Es ist jedenfalls wirklich sehr geheimnisvoll, was sich bei OBJX so abspielt. Aber OBJX ist bisher noch nie mit vorschnellen Veröffentlichungen oder der Anheizung von Gerüchten nach aussen getreten, sondern hat immer eine sehr zurückhaltende Öffentlichkeitsarbeit mit sachlichen Press Releases verfolgt. Ich finde diese Art des Arbeitens gut, denn so macht sich das Unternehmen nicht so sehr angreifbar.

Lassen wir uns überraschen. Ich glaube, die Überraschungen werden positiv sein und die Geduld wird sich auszahlen.

Grüsse

Hermann

2. I-Jam war einmal ein wichtiger partner, ist diese zusammenarbeit noch intakt?
3. IBM wird als Partner genannt, ist diese beziehung eingefroren?
4. MP3 stirbt langsam, welche chancen sieht Dennis für Dadio und
5. wie sieht Dennis die weitere Zusammenarbeit mit iOmega? wird es weitere projekte geben? gibt es hoffnung?

somit fehlen dir nur noch 22

PS: halte aktuell alle 4 werte, konnte aus techn. gründen nicht verkaufen

[TheCooleWickerl]

servus Gulliver,

wenn ich den chart anschaue und mit deiner aussage "mind. 1,20" im hinterstübchen,
dann könnte die konsolidierung bis $1 (nächster widerstand)gehen.


du sagst "ende nächsten jahres ist bei erfreulicher weiterentwicklung
auch bei weitem mehr drin!" wieviel könnten es werden 10, 12, 20...?

wickerl

[Gulliver]

servus wickerl,

ne, die bäume wachsen nicht in den himmel.

fundamental ist in hinblick auf aktienanzahl/voraussichtliche gewinne ein ziel von 5 dollar auf 12 monatssicht drin - werd nach vorlage der quartalszahlen 4 - 01 genaueres sagen.

ist echt schon interessant wer sich hier bei kursanstiegen meldet: leute wie fargate und der spazyhardcorefan andy geben inhaltlose kommentare von sich und pushen was das zeuch hält.

leute macht euren eigenen thread auf - hier will ich denkanstöße kriegen und kein thekengejohle. macht doch einen eigenen thread auf!

[hermann22]

Also wenn ich die EDIG News richtig verstehe, heisst das, dass EDIG im Prinzip die gleiche Technik wie OBJX entwickelt hat, nämlich mit einem portablen Gerät direkt von einer Audioquelle ohne PC im MP3 Format aufnehmen zu können.

Doch anders als OBJX hat EDIG bereits einen Lizenznehmer für diese Technik gefunden und das entsprechende Gerät scheint auch schon verfügbar.

Also hat EDIG gegenüber OBJX in diesem Bereich einen entscheidenden Vorteil.

Liege ich mit den obigen Aussagen richtig? Falls nicht, bitte ich mich zu korrigieren.

Falls es sich doch so verhält wie oben beschrieben - könnte es dann nicht sein, dass die EDIG-Hype weiter geht und OBJX wieder unter Druck gerät??


Danke vorab für Eure Meinungen

Einziger Vorteil von MicroOS ist wohl der "Voice Recorder", iObjects hat wiederum "digital audio encoding on portable mp3 players, PDAs, cell phones and other digital audio devices und der Kunde ist

Handheld-Startup Pogo tritt gegen die Giganten an

Spinoff von Razorfish hat acht Millionen Euro Risikokapital

MÜNCHEN (COMPUTERWOCHE) - Der britische Hersteller Pogo Technology, ein Spinoff der inzwischen gschlossenen Londoner Razorfish-Niederlassung, will sich mit seinem gleichnamigen Handheld inen Platz im heiß umkämpften Markt für Taschencomputer ergattern. Dem Unternehmen ist es nach eigenen Angaben gelungen, über acht Millionen Euro an Risikokapital zu erhalten, um eine anfängliche Stückzahl von 5000 "Pogos" zu produzieren. Der Hybrid aus PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), Handy und MP3-Player kann im Internet surfen sowie E-Mails abrufen und versenden. Das Gerät, das für den GSM-Mobilfunkstandard ausgerichtet ist, wiegt mit 230 Gramm etwas mehr als herkömmliche Handhelds. Zum verwendeten Betriebssystem macht der Hersteller keine Angaben. In Großbritannien soll das Gerät für 481 Euro in den Handel kommen. Als Vertriebspartner konnte Pogo den Distributor Carphone Warehouse gewinnen. Das Weihnachtsgeschäft verpasst das Razorfish-Spinoff jedoch knapp: Pogo soll erst Ende Januar 2002 bei Carphone erhältlich sein. Ob es der britische PDA auch in andere europäische Länder schafft, ist noch unklar.

MP3 Players Let the Music Go On and On and On


It`s not as flashy as the new Apple iPod MP3 player, but if you are planning a music marathon, the latest
version of the Remote Solution player, PBJ100, with 540 hours of storage, may go the distance.

The original player, developed in cooperation with Compaq, has been upgraded with a 30- gigabyte hard
drive that can hold about 7,500 songs, or approximately three weeks` worth of music without a repeat.
Software has been upgraded to allow listeners to browse through their music while listening. The player
maintains its original size, 6 by 3 by 0.9 inches, and six button controls on a silver, black or translucent
blue case. The PBJ100, which costs $665, is available only on the Web, at www.mp3factorydirect.com.

A spinoff company called Pogo Products (www.pogoproducts.com) will soon release the RipDrive, an
MP3 player with less storage — 300 hours of music — that can also record directly from a microphone,
tape or record player (remember those?), without ripping to MP3 format first.

The new player will have a price between $400 and $500 and can also be used as an external drive to
transport any kind of data to another machine. Roy Furchgott

Hi,

für diesen DVD-Videoprozessor gibt es leider noch keine Vereinbarung zwischen Cirrus Logic und iObjects.


"Prozessoren / Wirtschaft

Cirrus Logic übernimmt zwei Halbleiterunternehmen

Für 157 Millionen Dollar Verstärkung im Wireless-LAN- und DVD-Bereich eingekauft

23. Juli 2001, 12:31 Uhr

Von Dietmar Mueller

Chiphersteller Cirrus Logic will für über 150 Millionen Dollar in Aktien zwei kalifornische Halbleiterunternehmen übernehmen. Es handelt sich um die Firmen Sharewave, einen Hersteller von Chips für Wireless Home Networking-Anwendungen mit Sitz in El Dorado Hills, und Luxsonor Semiconductors, einen Hersteller von DVD-Chips in Fremont. Beide Übernahmen im Wert von rund 92 Millionen Dollar (Sharewave) beziehungsweise um die 65 Millionen Dollar (Luxsonor) erfolgen durch Aktientausch.

Die Akquisitionen wurden von den Vorständen der beteiligten Unternehmen bereits gebilligt und sollen nach Abwicklung der gesetzlich vorgeschriebenen Genehmigungsverfahren im August abgeschlossen werden.

Sharewave wurde im September 1996 gegründet und hat eine eigene, Whitecap genannte Wireless-LAN-Technologie auf der Basis der Standards IEEE 802.11 und IEEE 802.11e entwickelt. Das in privater Hand befindliche Unternehmen wird unter anderem mit Kapital von Cisco Systems (Börse Frankfurt: CIS), Intel (Börse Frankfurt: INL), Microsoft (Börse Frankfurt: MSF), Philips und Softbank (Börse Frankfurt: SFT) finanziert.

Luxsonor ist ein Hersteller von DVD-Videoprozessoren und Audio/Video-Halbleiterlösungen. Cirrus rechnet sich in diesem Bereich große Wachstumschancen aus, stehe doch die massenhafte Ablösung von Videorekordern in Haushalten durch DVD-Player kurz bevor. Luxsonor unterhält Niederlassungen auch in Taiwan, Hongkong und China."

A Digital Double Take
By Arik Hesseldahl

Digital music may turn out to be one of the best things to happen to the hard-drive industry.

It wasn`t long ago that firms making hard drives physically small enough to fit into a pocket, but with
enough capacity to hold several gigabytes of data, were too expensive to appeal to a wider range of
consumers. But companies like Creative Labs , Archos Technology and, lately, Apple Computer have brilliantly ridden the digital
music-player trend by building players around those same small hard drives.

Most players, such as those in SonicBlue `s Rio line, rely on flash memory chips to
store the music. That means they have no moving parts, and the music doesn`t skip if
the player is suddenly moved or jarred during use. Hard-drive-based players have a
spinning platter inside them, however, and so have to be built for shock resistance
and with skip protection by adding flash memory as a buffer. Yet, depending on
which models you compare, hard-drive-based players tend to hold more music.

The latest to join the hard-drive camp is e.Digital , which announced its Treo 10
player this week. It incorporates a 10-gigabyte hard drive, which is sufficient, the
company says, to store about 3,000 songs. That may sound like a lot, but serious
music collectors with huge numbers of CDs will probably never find a player that
allows them to achieve that ideal notion of carrying around an entire CD collection.
But it should give them a decent start.

Anyone who follows the various segments of the consumer electronics industry can`t help but notice the similarity in names between this
player and the forthcoming wireless handheld device--simply called Treo--from Handspring . Still, there should be little confusion in the
minds of consumers. Handspring is the second-largest maker of personal digital assistants based on the Palm operating system; it sells its
products through major retailers. E.Digital, on the other hand, is a small San Diego-based company that sells its products through its online
store.

The Treo 10 player works with Microsoft Windows-based PCs and connects via the USB connection port. It ships with software called
Music Explorer to help keep track of a massive music collection, along with a another program called MusicMatch to aid in lifting tunes
from music CDs to the hard drive. E.Digital is selling the Treo 10 for about $250.

Neue Produkte
-------------


1. *** Mpio DMG: der Marathonläufer ***

Mit dem Mpio DMG haben wir unser Sortiment um einen speziellen MP3-Player erweitert. 20 Stunden spielt der Player, ohne dass einmal die Batterie (Typ AA) gewechselt werden muss. Ein echter Marathonläufer, das macht ihm kein anderer MP3-Player nach.

Der Player überzeugt auch in anderer Hinsicht: So ist er schon von Haus aus mit 128 MB Speicher ausgerüstet - das sind 2 Stunden MP3-Musik auf kleinstem Platz.
Wer noch mehr Musik auf den Player laden will, kann ihn mit einer optionalen SmartMedia-Karte erweitern. Maximal können so total 256 MB auf dem Player untergebracht werden - 4 Stunden mit MP3 oder 8 Stunden im WMA-Format.

Eine weitere praktische Funktion ist das integrierte Mikrofon. Dank diesem Mikrofon kann der Player auch als Diktiergerät verwendet werden. In wichtigen Meetings, Sitzungen, in der Schule oder an Uni-Vorlesungen können so einfach Texte aufgenommen werden und später auf dem Player abgespielt oder am Computer weiterbearbeitet werden. Dort stehen die Daten im weit verbreiteten .wav-Format zur Verfügung.

Weitere Merkmale: hintergrundbeleuchtetes Display, schneller USB-Anschluss (4 Mbps), Software für Mac und Windows. Der Player ist in drei Farben (blau, gold, silber) erhältlich.

Preis und Verfügbarkeit: Der Mpio DMG ist ab sofort lieferbar. Preis: Fr. 499.00. Beachten Sie auch unsere Weihnachtsaktion: Player + 128 Zusatzspeicher für Fr. 599.00.

2. *** Wieder im Sortiment: Archos Jukebox / Recorder ***

Ab nächster Woche können wir die MP3-Player und den MP3-Recorder von Archos wieder anbieten. Verschiedene Modelle stehen zur Auswahl: Der 6 GB- und 20 GB-Player, sowie der Recorder mit 6 GB-Festplatte. Damit können direkt - ohne PC - Musik als MP3 aufgenommen werden. Die Archos-Player besitzen einen Akku und lassen sich am Computer als USB-Harddisk anschliessen.

Die neuen Preise: Player 6 GB: Fr. 489.-, Player 20 GB: Fr. 679.-, Recorder 6 GB: Fr. 579.-.
Lieferbar voraussichtlich ab nächster Woche.

Bestellungen: http://www.k55.ch/shop/


3. *** Philips Expanium 401: MP3-CD-Player für Mini-CD ***

Klein aber fein: Der neue Philips Expanium 401 MP3-CD-Player ist zwar ein CD-Player, aber klein - so klein, dass er nur 8 cm-CDs liest. Auf einer kleinen CD (185 MB) finden mehr als 3 Stunden Musik Platz, und man den Player problemlos überallhin mitnehmen, eben weil er klein und leicht ist.

Der Philips Expanium liest praktische alle CDs, die 8 cm gross sind. Gewöhnliche Audio-CDs, selbstgebrannte CD-R oder CD-RW mit MP3- und mit AAC-Dateien stellen kein Problem dar. Auch UDF-CDs werden unterstützt: Damit kann eine CD ganz einfach durch Drag- und Drop erstellt werden.

Dank einem Antischock-Speicher (100 Sekunden bei MP3/128mbps, 45 Sekunden bei Audio-CD) kann der kleine portable Player problemlos zum Joggen oder bei anderen sportlichen Aktivitäten verwendet werden. Im Ohrhörer ist eine Fernbedienung integriert, damit kann der Player einfach bedient werden.

Preis und Verfügbarkeit: Dier Philips Expanium 401 ist ab Lager lieferbar.
Preis: Fr. 349.00.

Bestellungen: http://www.k55.ch/shop/

Wir werden oft gefragt, warum wir das Konkurrenz-Modell von Freecom nicht anbieten. Der Freecom verfügt leider über einen viel zu kleinen AntiSchock-Speicher (nur wenige Sekunden), so dass wir dieses Gerät nicht empfehlen können, und nur den Philips Expanium in unserem Sortiment haben.

4. *** Aiwa MM RX-400: MP3-Player mit Radio ***

Endlich: Der neue Aiwa-MP3-Player besitzt ein eingebautes Radio - erstaunlicherweise sind heute sonst praktisch keine anderen MP3-Player mit eingebautem Radio erhältlich. Der FM-Tuner des Aiwa MM RX-400 ist nicht einfach ein zusätzliches Feature, sondern ein komfortables Radio. So lassen sich bis zu 20 verschiedene Radiostationen fest programmieren, und ein automatischer Suchlauf sucht in Kürze die besten Sender.

Betrieben wird der Player mit einem Akku, was kosten- und umweltfreundlich ist. Mit einer einzigen Ladung lassen sich bis zu fünf Stunden Musik spielen, danach muss der Akku wieder geladen werden. Der aktuelle Batterie-Ladungszustand wird auf dem übersichtlichen Display angezeigt.

Auch der MP3-Player lässt sich sehen. Neben MP3-Dateien spielt er auch AAC-Dateien ab. Die Musik wird über den schnellen USB-Anschluss auf den Player überspielt, Software für Windows (ab Win98) liegt dem Gerät bei. Die Software wie auch der Player lassen sich einfach bedienen, die Bedienungsanleitung (auf deutsch) muss nicht zwingend beigezogen werden.
Von Haus hat der Aiwa MM RX-400 32 MB Speicher eingebaut, diese lassen sich mit einer Multimedia-Karte auf bis zu 96 MB erweitern. Damit können je nach Komprimierung rund 90 Minuten bis zu drei Stunden Musik gespielt werden.

Preis und Verfügbarkeit: Der Aiwa MM RX-400 ist ab Lager lieferbar.
Preis: Fr. 399.00.

Cirrus Logic Completes Acquisition of Stream Machine

Adds MPEG-2 Video Recording to Digital Entertainment Focus

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 10, 2001--Cirrus Logic Inc. (Nasdaq:CRUS - news),
the premier supplier of high-performance analog and DSP semiconductor solutions for consumer
entertainment electronics, today completed its acquisition of Stream Machine Company, a leading
supplier of MPEG-2 video recording technology.

This acquisition strengthens Cirrus Logic`s ability to provide Total Entertainment (Total-E(tm)) solutions
for next generation, networked home entertainment applications. Stream Machine`s proprietary video
compression technology provides high quality video for multiple home entertainment applications, such
as DVD recorders, personal video recorders (PVRs), digital camcorders and PC video peripherals.

Cirrus Logic issued approximately 5.4 million shares of its common stock and options for privately held
Stream Machine. As a result of this and two previously announced acquisitions that closed in October,
Cirrus Logic anticipates that it will have approximately 83 million shares outstanding at the close of the
December quarter. Tangible net assets of Stream Machine total approximately $2 million. In the
September quarter, Stream Machine`s revenue was under $1 million and operating expenses were
approximately $4 million. Cirrus estimates it will take a one-time non-cash charge in the December
quarter for acquired in-process research and development in the range of $14 million to $20 million
related to the acquisition. The remaining purchase price will be allocated primarily to amortizable
intangibles and goodwill. Based on current Cirrus Logic forecasts, the acquisition is anticipated to be
accretive to pro forma EPS within three quarters following the closing. As previously disclosed, it will
have a dilutive effect of $0.00 to $0.02 per share in each of the next two quarters. Revenue from
Stream Machine products is expected to grow from around $1 million in the December 2001 quarter to
$30 million to $40 million in fiscal 2003, depending on a variety of factors, including continued strong
growth in the DVD market and the rate at which consumers adopt digital video recording solutions for
home use. Long-term gross margins are expected to be greater than 50 percent.

``Stream Machine`s superior digital video recording technologies will play a major role in Cirrus Logic`s
leadership in the new era in entertainment electronics,`` said David D. French, president and chief
executive officer of Cirrus Logic. ``Through this acquisition and those of LuxSonor and ShareWave in
October, Cirrus Logic has become the pre-eminent provider of audio, video and networking
technologies for digital entertainment devices.``

Market research firm Cahners In-Stat predicts that products that use MPEG encoding, such as Personal Video Recorders and DVD
Recorders, will grow dramatically in the next few years. It estimates that PVRs will grow from approximately 520,000 units in 2001 to
more than 11 million units in 2005, and DVD recorders will grow from 540,000 units this year to more than 17 million units in 2005.

Cahners In-Stat also predicts that the total MPEG-2 encoder chip market will grow 135 percent annually, from under two million units
this year to more than 35 million units in 2005, representing a semiconductor market opportunity in excess of $370 million in 2005, up
from $38 million this year.

``Stream Machine products are shipping in digital recording systems, which are manufactured by leading companies including Amoisonic,
Datavideo and Malata. We are also seeing strong design win momentum throughout Japan, Korea and China,`` said Michael L. Canning,
formerly the CEO of Stream Machine and now general manager of the Video Recording Division of Cirrus Logic. ``Cirrus Logic`s
Whitecap(tm) wireless networking technology, developed by ShareWave, supports MPEG-2 video, which enhances the enjoyment of
digital entertainment in the home. In the future, the company`s optical storage technology, when combined with Stream Machine`s video
compression technology, will provide Cirrus with a more comprehensive solution and a superior integration roadmap compared with its
competitors.``

Mr. Canning, who reports to Mr. French, and 42 U.S.-based employees will relocate from their offices in Milpitas, Calif., to the existing
Cirrus Logic facility in Fremont, Calif. Stream Machine will also eventually consolidate its China operations into the existing Cirrus facilities
in Shenzhen and Beijing.

Hi,
Rick, Wickerl,
das sehe ich genau so!

Da tut sich auch was:

Dienstag 11. Dezember 2001, 20:04 Uhr
Neue Streaming-Technik von Microsoft(ZDNet Deutschland) -Microsoft (Frankfurt: 870747.F, Nachrichten) hat einen neuen Service namens "Corona" angekündigt, der Kunden unterbrechungsfrei Streaming-Inhalte empfangen lassen soll. ANZEIGE

Das Besondere: Das Tool kommt ohne Buffer (Zwischenspeicher) aus.

Corona besteht aus einem Set von Softwarewerkzeugen inklusive einem Server mit zugehörigem Player. Der Server könne ab Donnerstag geordert werden, die restlichen Komponenten sollen Anfang kommenden Jahres zur Verfügung stehen. Als Übertragungstechnik kommt das Windows Media Format zum Einsatz.

Der Chef der Windows Digital Media Division, Dave Fester, erklärte. "Sie können sich schon Mal von Buffering verabschieden. Das ist für Content Provider ein geradezu dramatischer Schritt." Fester berichtete weiter, dass man derzeit an einem neuen Media Player arbeite, der möglicherweise auch MP3 unterstützt.

Pikantes am Rande: "Corona" war der Codename der von Erzrivalen Sun geplanten "Javastation II". Die Javastation war für 1999 geplant gewesen, kam jedoch nie auf den Markt. Nun hat sich offenbar Microsoft der Krone (Lateinisch für Corona) bemächtigt.

...und dieses hier:

Dienstag 11. Dezember 2001, 13:41 Uhr
"Corona"- Microsofts neue Video-, Audio-Formate
(tecChannel.de) Unter dem Codenamen "Corona" stellt Microsoft (Frankfurt: 870747.F, Nachrichten) bei der Streaming Media East Conference in New York die nächste Generation seiner ANZEIGE

Windows Media-Produkte vor. Enthalten ist vorerst Server-Software. Entwickler-Tools und verbesserte Codecs folgen Anfang 2002.
Mit den bei der Streaming Media Conference vorgestellten neuen Windows Media-Produkten zielt Microsoft auf Breitband-Benutzer, die digitale Audio- und Video-Streams über das Internet empfangen. Die neue Technologie ist als erste Beta-Version in die "Windows Media Services für .Net Server" gepackt.
Der ersten Beta-Version der Software für .NET-Server sollen Anfang nächsten Jahres ein SDK und zwei neue Codes für Audio und Video folgen. Microsoft verspricht trotz höherer Komprimierung 20 Prozent mehr Qualität verglichen mit dem in Windows XP enthaltenen Windows Media 8. Ein Film der im WMV-8-Format bislang 500 MByte belegt, soll qualitativ besser mit 400 MByte auskommen.
Im Kampf mit anderen Musik- und Video-Formaten wie dem Realplayer von RealNetworks kann Microsoft darüber hinaus einen wichtigen Erfolg für seine proprietäre Technologie vermelden. Chipproduzenten für DVD-Player haben sich laut Microsoft bereit erklärt, die Windows-Media-Formate zu unterstützen. Das würde bedeuten, dass sich DVDs mit WMA und WMV in DVD-Playern abspielen lassen. Unter den kooperationsbereiten Herstellern befinden sich Cirrus Logic, ESS Technology, LSI Logic, ST Microelectronics und die Zoran Corporation (Frankfurt: 898539.F, Nachrichten) . ESS Technologies hat sich bereits die Lizenzen für eine Single-Chiplösung gesichert, wir berichteten .
Durch den Komprimierungsfaktor von WMA wären CDs denkbar, die in den Playern bis zu 22 Stunden lang Musik abspielen. Diese Fähigkeiten bringt bereits die Version 8 von WMA mit, wie Steve Ballmer bereits bei der 2000er-Ausgabe der Streaming-Conference demonstriert hat.
Eines der Kernstücke der kommenden Media-Technologie von Microsoft nennt sich Fast Stream. Microsoft will damit Internet-Streams ermöglichen, die ohne Zwischenspeicherung von Daten auskommen. Welche Internet-Verbindung dafür nötig ist, teilte Microsoft nicht mit. Stattdessen entwirft Produktmanager Jonathan Usher schon einmal das Bild des künftigen Benutzers, der zwischen seinen Internet-Streams zappt, wie durch Fernsehprogramme.
Die verbesserten Codes für Windows Media Audio- (WMA) and Windows Media Video- (WMV) Formate sollen als Stream von kommenden .NET-Server-Produkten kommen. Geplant ist auch die Belieferung von drahtlosen Geräten mit dafür optimierten Audio- und Video-Streams.
Für die Provider von Audio- und Video-Streams bedeutet jede weitere Komprimierung ihrer Inhalte bares Geld. Laut Produktmanager Usher kostet die Content-Provider in den USA die Übertragung von 2 MByte etwa einen Cent.
Details zu Microsoft Media-Codec 8 lesen Sie in diesem Report . Zusätzliche Informationen zum Thema entnehmen Sie den Artikeln DivX - Das MP3 für Kinofilme und Videokompression mit MPEG . Wie Audiokompression funktioniert, lesen Sie in Grundlagenartikeln zu MP3 . (uba)

SONICblue Music Device Advances Its Digital Strategy
By Franklin Paul

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Consumer electronics company SONICblue Inc.(Nasdaq:SBLU - news) on Monday unveiled a high-end home entertainment hub that can store an entire music collection and furthers the company`s thrust into the budding market for digital audio and video entertainment.

At about $1,500, SONICblue`s Advanced Digital Audio Center can become the centerpiece of a music enthusiast`s wired home. It features a 40-gigabyte hard drive that can record up to 650 hours of music.

Through the system, available only via SONICblue`s Web site, music from a CD can be recorded to its hard drive, played back over receivers within the house, downloaded to an MP3 player, or reorganized and burned onto another CD.

Andy Wolfe, chief Technical Officer of Santa Clara, California-based SONICblue, said the new model binds its audio strategy, which includes portable digital music devices such as its Rio line of CD and MP3 players.

``This is a device that take our individual products and ties them all together into a system,`` he told Reuters. ``As you start to build a personal collection of digital music, you can share it in your house, take it to your car, take it to the gym with you or burn CDs for an airplane.

From DVD players to online radio stations, digital entertainment distribution is a area of rapid growth for consumer hardware makers and audio and video content providers, as consumers embrace new technology that allows them to carry personalized music collections and share with others.

Toward that end, the Advanced Digital Music center is equipped with a modem, which will allow it eventually to send and receive music over the Internet. Users can someday buy and download tunes, and ``stream,`` or broadcast, them to others. ``Today that doesn`t mean a lot other than the ability to identify your CDs,`` via an online catalog service, he said. ``But in the future, it is a way to acquire content from the Internet without needing to have a PC involved.``

FACES COMPETITION AND LAWSUITS

SONICblue has made lots of noise this year, its first since it changed its name from S3, amid a strategic switch away from making graphics chips and toward digital entertainment, such as its MP3 players and its recently launched TV recording product, ReplayTV (news - web sites).

Much of that ruckus, however, has been in courtrooms rather than retail showrooms. SONICblue last week sued rival TiVo (news - web sites) Inc. (Nasdaq:TIVO - news), charging it uses technology that infringes on SONICblue`s television recording patents.

Further, SONICblue in October was sued by the major television networks, which claim Replay TV allows users to improperly duplicate and distribute copyrighted material, as well as skip advertisements, thereby robbing the networks of revenues. The networks seek to halt the sale of the recorder.

SONICblue insists that this time around, it expects to avoid that kind of controversy. While the device is technically capable of being a distribution center for digital music, it is limited for now to sharing tunes within the home.

``It is not a Napster (news - web sites) server,`` he said, referring to the popular service that was sued by the music industry for fostering copyright infringement by its millions of global users. ``We have been very careful with this product to try to respect copyright because we believe that an important part of the value of this product is to purchase music on it.``

``We believe we have followed the law, but we still have tried try to make available all of the things that customers do,`` he said.

Despite its legal concerns, SONICblue`s toughest challenge will likely come from its stiff competition, deep-pocketed consumer electronics giants such as Philips Electronics (PHG.AS), Compaq Computer Corp.(NYSE:CPQ - news), Sony Corp (news - web sites).(6758.T) and Microsoft Corp.(Nasdaq:MSFT - news)

Wolfe said the company would etch out its place in the market by providing digital products with that stress compatibility with emerging Internet-based services.

``Old-line consumer electronics companies have gained their market shares through manufacturing efficiency and through expertise of hard goods. That`s no longer the value in these products,`` he said.

Hi,
das Ganze nur noch in Deutsch:

"SONICblue kündigt netzwerkfähigen Festplatten-MP3-Player an


Rio Advanced Digital Audio Center fürs Wohnzimmer


SONICblue hat wieder einen neuen MP3-Player angekündigt, das "Rio Advanced Digital Audio Center", auch unter dem Codenamen Jupiter bekannt. Dabei handelt es sich um ein stationäres Modell mit integrierter 40-GByte-Festplatte, CD-Brenner und der Möglichkeit zur Vernetzung mit SONICblues Netzwerk-MP3-Player Rio Receiver.

Das als Ergänzung zur Stereoanlage gedachte Rio Advanced Digital Audio Center kann auf verschiedene Arten mit Musik oder Hörspielen gefüllt werden. Zum einen kann es Audio-CDs direkt einlesen (10fache Geschwindigkeit) und ins MP3-Format (max. 320 kbps) auf die integrierte Festplatte komprimieren. Die Eingabe von Titelinformationen entfällt dabei weitestgehend, da das Gerät die Kataloge des Gracenote CDDB Music Recognition Service auf seiner Festplatte gespeichert hat und entsprechende ID3-Tags generiert. Zum anderen kann es über die HomePNA- oder eine der drei USB-Schnittstellen mittels eines angeschlossenen PCs mit MP3- und WMA-Dateien gefüllt werden. Auf die 40-GByte-Festplatte passen dabei laut SONICblue rund 650 Musik-CDs.



Digitale Audiozentrale: Rio Advanced Digital Audio Center

Als digitale Audiozentrale soll das Gerät zudem SONICblues portable MP3-Player mit Daten füttern, dank des internen CD-RW-Laufwerks Audio- und MP3-CDs brennen sowie als Datenzentrale für bis zu acht Rio Receiver oder PCs fungieren können. Für Letzteres kann das Rio Advanced Digital Audio Center entweder über einen optionalen USB-Ethernet-Adapter oder über die integrierte HomePNA-Schnittstelle ins Heimnetzwerk eingeklinkt werden, je nach genutzter Netzwerktechnologie. Auch mit dem Internet kann so eine Verbindung aufgebaut werden, beispielsweise um Softwareupdates herunterzuladen. Damit dies auch ohne angeschlossenen PC oder Heimnetzwerk erfolgen kann, bietet das Rio Advanced Digital Audio Center außerdem noch ein internes 56K-Modem.

Die Verwaltung der Musikstücke erfolgt über ein recht großes Display an der Front des schwarzen 19-Zoll-Gehäuses des Rio Advanced Digital Audio Center, zudem wird eine Fernbedienung mitgeliefert. SONICblue verspricht dabei eine einfache und schnelle erlernbare Bedienung, ausgefeilte Suchfunktionen und leicht verwaltbare Playlisten. Neben den Playlisten kann das Gerät auch die vom Nutzer bevorzugten Lieder abspielen, da es sich merkt, welche am häufigsten gehört werden. Über die USB-Schnittstelle lässt sich z.B. auch eine handelsübliche Tastatur anschließen, so dass die vermutlich selten nötige Texteingabe vereinfacht wird.

Noch ist SONICblues neuester MP3-Player jedoch auch in den USA noch nicht erhältlich, er wird erstmals Anfang Januar 2002 auf der Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas vorgestellt. Allerdings kann das Rio Advanced Digital Audio Center laut SONICblue bereits für einen Preis von rund 1.500,- US-Dollar per Internet vorbestellt werden, für eine begrenzte Zeit ist dann ein Rio Receiver (Wert rund 200 US-Dollar) beigepackt. Die Auslieferung der vorbestellten Geräte soll in den USA frühestens Ende Januar beginnen."

Hallo,
die Kurse von OBJX sind zur Zeit nicht erfreulich. Dennoch muss ich sagen das die größeren Orders zwischen 1.3 und 1,36$ abgewickelt wurden. Eine einzige kleine ausgeführte Order zum Schluss genügt um den Kurs zu drücken. Ich schaue mir immer die Orders an bevor ich mich "aufrege" über den Schlusskurs. Heute wird wohl auch nichts berauschendes zu erwarten sein.
Genießt die Feiertage die kommen und ich wünsche allen ein besseres Jahr 2002

Interactive Objects, Inc.
Introduction
The fact that one can mention “Napster” or “mp3” to your average 55-year-old and get a
nod of recognition speaks volumes about the revolution that is underway in the music
industry. Familiarity with these terms underscores the fact that sharing music that has
been digitized and compressed has become a mainstream phenomenon. Of course, if it’s
a businessperson you’re talking to, the next question might be “so how is anybody going
to make money by giving stuff away for free?” Good question…
We’ve got a little secret and we’d like to share it with you. Companies who sell the
products and services that support the revolution are the ones who will be making the
money. It’s the old story of selling bullets in the war or supplies to miners. Interactive
Objects, Inc. (iObjects) is in the business of selling bullets and mining supplies,
metaphorically speaking, to the key players in the digital audio revolution. From where
we sit, we see a big new war brewing on the horizon and a lot of gold in the hills. But
first, let’s lay out why the revolution is occurring and what this means as a business
opportunity.

Market Overview
In the last few years, new technologies have coalesced to provide a superior way to find
and listen to your favorite music. New compression formats such as mp3 1 , and new PC
software programs for encoding 2 (or ripping in the digital audio vernacular) and
decoding 3 for playback, have made it possible to create electronic, portable versions of
your favorite songs that can be played on your PC and shared across the Internet.
Increased bandwidth and access to the Internet, particularly in college dormitories, has
spawned new peer-to-peer networking schemes such as Napster, Gnutella and Scour that
allow people to easily locate and download their favorite songs. Napster alone has
reached over 70 million users. In short order, PCs have replaced stereo systems as the
primary music source in most college dorm rooms.
But with music being perhaps the most universal application in the world, the digital
audio revolution doesn’t stop with the PC – it’s just the beginning. People want music
wherever they are – on the go, in the car or in the home. Plus, despite the fact that better
speaker systems are becoming available for the PC, the PC will never be an ideal
playback system. Already we see new product categories taking off that address this. The
market for portable digital audio players such as SonicBlue’s Rio, for example, will reach
6 million in 2001 and is forecasted to double in volume each year for the next five years.4
These new digital audio players are poised to replace Walkmans as the primary portable
music player technology available.5 Internet Radios are also on the rise as are Digital
Home Jukeboxes 6 , Digital Audio Receivers 7 and Digital Car Stereos 8 . This is why we
believe that in the next 12 to 18 months, digital music playback and recording systems
will revolutionize the market for consumer audio appliances. We also believe that big
brand name consumer electronics such as Sony, Philips, and Panasonic, who are
interestingly not among the leaders in any of these new product categories, are poised to
take a big leap in this new market.
______
1 In addition to mp3, new formats such as Windows Media WMA, Dolby AAC, and Sony Atrac have been introduced which offer superior compression (more music in less space) and better fidelity than mp3
2 MusicMatch Jukebox, Real Networks’ Real Jukebox, and the Microsoft Media Player are the most popular encoders
3 Nullsoft’s Winamp (AOL), Real Networks’ Real Player, and the Microsoft Media Player are the most popular players

Market Entry Into Digital Audio
iObjects entered the market in 1999 when the first mp3 players were coming to market.
Originally, our efforts were more akin to a science experiment than a business project.
We took apart the first players and noted that they were very simple, single state devices
that were run by a micro-controller and DSP. They were closed systems so no software
could be added to improve functionality. This, we thought, was a major limitation as it
meant that more interesting functionality such as having a decent user interface, adding a
play list manager to manage content, getting faster connectivity to a PC, and gaining
support for removable media would be a long time coming. We also foresaw that new
compression schemes that would vie with mp3 and necessitate a multi-format approach
would be coming out, and that new copyright schemes would be required if the record
labels were to be persuaded to join the digital revolution bandwagon. And while there
were some software development tools for embedded systems available on the market,
there was no single, well-integrated solution for digital audio device development.
To explore this opportunity, we began looking at handheld devices that offered a
programmability layer. Specifically, we looked at both the Palm OS and Microsoft’s
WinCE platform. After an evaluation period, we selected WinCE as our platform of

Making Digital Audio Our Primary Business
After successfully developing a media player and selling it to Microsoft, iObjects
refocused its business model on digital audio. Until that time, the company had been a
consulting house that did contract development and which had a small suite of
commercial object software that we licensed and used in our projects. Our success with
Microsoft, however, pointed to a new and more promising direction. What was a skunk
works effort became the focal point of the company.
We immediately began outlining a new product strategy. Just as we had done with the
early mp3 players, we began deconstructing the new WinCE product with our own media
player. If we started from scratch, what would we do? We concluded that, while the
WinCE was an improvement over the existing mp3-only players, it wasn’t really
designed for digital audio. We wanted to create something that combined the cost and
simple characteristics of consumer devices with the programmability of a handheld
computer. We decided, therefore, to create our own platform complete with an
underlying embedded OS, a software application stack for playback and digital rights
management, and a reference design that could be used by OEMs to quickly bring a
product to market.
We focused on creating something that would be low cost, easy to manufacture, and
which provided a re-usable code base for other development projects. To achieve this,
we partnered with companies such as Cirrus Logic for the main processor (Maverick
SOC family), Microsoft for the playback and recording software (WMA), and ARM for
the RISC based processor core.
After nine months of very focused development, we produced a full working model of
our new platform. Armed with a prototype, we announced and demonstrated our new
platform at Cirrus Logic’s booth at the January 2000 CES show in Las Vegas. In
February 2000 we closed our first licensing agreement with I-Jam Multimedia. In June
2000, after additional work to expand the capabilities of the product, we branded the
platform under the name Dadio™ digital audio OS and announced our second licensee in
a deal with Iomega Corp. Iomega’s HipZip™ digital audio player with the Dadio OS
shipped in September 2000.
In November 2000, we announced Dadio’s hardware counterpart – the Dharma™ digital
audio development platform. Dharma is a multi-purpose development platform that
enables the creation of a family of compatible products. Dharma standardizes the key
hardware and software interfaces of a digital audio reference design so that core modules
can be swapped in and out interchangeably.
In January of 2001, Cirrus Logic selected the Dharma platform as the main development
platform for digital audio applications for its new generation of Internet Maverick™
digital audio chips.
Thus, in a little more than a year’s time, iObjects has successfully transformed itself into
one of the key pioneers in the emerging marketplace for digital audio playback systems.

Where We Go from Here
One of the smartest things iObjects did when creating Dadio and Dharma was to
develop the system as a multi-purpose platform for embedded systems. This
means that our platform can be used for any embedded system application
including digital video players, game consoles, PDAs, and other information
appliances.
In the near term, though, we believe the biggest business opportunity (and the
least tapped) is in the consumer digital audio marketplace. iObjects` digital audio
platform, which in its first incarnation has been focused on the portable digital
audio player market, is just as well suited for digital jukebox, digital car stereo,
digital audio receiver, Internet radio applications, and even retail kiosks for music
store content sampling or distribution. This offers the company a great
opportunity to expand its business.
This development has led to a number of new business opportunities. In Q1 2001,
iObjects successfully signed major contracts with the following companies based on its
versatile platform technology. These contracts include:
•Trans World Entertainment (NASDAQ: TWMC) selected iObjects to develop a
multimedia entertainment system with listening and viewing stations for its nearly
1,000 retail locations as part of its new eWorks initiative
•The Japanese conglomerate Nikko Electronics announced a licensing agreement
to produce an entire line of digital audio products and serve as iObjects’ primary
contract manufacturing partner
•Taiwanese based SSI Computer announced an agreement to license our
technology for their new digital audio product line including portables, car stereos

iObjects is the first company to offer a single interoperable hardware and software
solution for the entire range of digital audio products. We believe this will be our
key competitive advantage in attracting the major consumer electronics
companies into this space and becoming a mainstream platform in the industry.
Building On Our Success
Building on the success of our Dadio and Dharma based digital audio reference
designs, in March of 2001 the Company announced its intention to introduce and
distribute a new line of products under the iObjects brand name. These products
will complement the Company’s custom OEM development work and will open
up a whole new set of business opportunities.
Darwin™ is the first product of its kind to combine a multi-codec CD player with
an Internet radio, while providing access to content stored on a desktop PC
jukebox or local network. Access your PC`s digital music library, receive
streaming Internet radio, or encode a new CD into your collection from any room
in your home using Darwin.
Darwin was developed in collaboration with Microsoft and was introduced by
Microsoft’s Digital Media Division VP, Will Poole, during his keynote at Microsoft’s
WinHEC 2001 Developer’s Conference. Darwin has been met with great enthusiasm

Competition
The industry for digital audio products is very fragmented. On one side are the upstarts
in the portable market who are currently beating out the more established consumer
electronics companies who are now entering the market. On the other side are lots of
technology companies, big and small, involved in the value chain of creating these
devices. In the vast middle, the big CE and PC manufacturers are searching for solutions
to compete effectively against the upstarts. This is where the iObjects solution comes in.
We are uniquely positioned to provide the tools, both hardware and software, that can
enable these companies to come to market quickly with a highly competitive product.
Our approach allows the unused parts of a computer to be stripped out. Consumers
therefore get exactly what they need for the device to operate properly, nothing more,
nothing less. For high volume consumer applications where cost is a key factor for
success, a fixed-purpose embedded system offers OEMs a distinct and sustainable
competitive advantage.
iObjects also faces competition in the form of in-house development efforts within the
CE and PC companies. The problem, or the opportunity from our perspective, is that
most hardware oriented OEMs don’t have sufficient software development experience,
much less embedded systems development experience, to quickly produce affordable,
feature rich, and extensible products. Each new product effort, therefore, becomes a
one-off engineering exercise. This is why you don’t see major consumer electronics
companies achieving success in this business yet in a significant way. These companies
have not yet mastered the technology to create mainstream, low cost, digital audio
consumer devices.
In our view, in an emerging business like consumer digital audio, big companies are
better off relying on brand, manufacturing and distribution prowess while using partners
such as iObjects to facilitate being nimble, feature rich and fast to market.
Market Opportunity
The requirement of companies to move quickly and offer superior features is just
beginning to play out in iObjects’ favor. Because the early mp3 players did not utilize or
need software (just a micro-controller and DSP chip as mentioned earlier), OEMs could
easily get into the business without software expertise. The result was that there were
over 75 mp3 players in the market as of 1999. Clearly though, the market couldn’t
support so many players and only a few companies achieved much volume. Things
began to change, therefore, in 2000 with the advent of multi-codec and digital rights
management capabilities. And this is where iObjects’ software expertise has come into
the picture as a key technology asset.
iObjects offers OEMs a compelling value proposition – a better product, for less money,
and in less time. Our core product development is largely done, speeding time to market.
Our product design cost is amortized over a number of deals, lowering costs. The code
base of our product is fully debugged, having been previously ported to a variety of
devices and development environments - it is high quality right out of the gate. Finally,
our product platform is software driven so it can be quickly and easily enhanced. In a
fast moving market such as digital audio, this is a key advantage. Hardware dependent
platforms are far harder and slower to upgrade. Software is comparatively fast and
flexible. Once a company chooses a platform such as iObjects’ Dadio, new features can
be layered on in rapid succession.
This basic logic is quite compelling and it’s the reason why you see many companies
now looking to outsource design and development. Hardware companies are facing the
reality that they don’t have the software expertise in house to do the kind of work that
iObjects is capable of doing and it would take some time to build internally. We therefore
expect the outsourcing trend to accelerate. We also believe that the current market is just
the tip of the iceberg. Now that that the basic formats issues have been resolved and
more effective copyright schemes have been introduced, the entire market for digital
audio products is ripe for rapid growth. iObjects is poised to take full advantage of this
market opportunity. We are the only company that offers a single, integrated platform for
a complete line of consumer digital audio products. We are also the only 3 rd party
licensor that has successfully brought its own product design to market through an OEM.
iObjects has the credibility of delivering real products to real customers, a technical lead
due to our pioneering development efforts, and key partnerships with primary companies
in the value chain such as Cirrus Logic, Microsoft, Iomega and Red Hat.
Management Team
iObjects is led by Dennis Tevlin, President & CEO, and Mark Phillips, CTO. Dennis
oversees the operations of the company, with special attention to charting out and
executing on iObjects’ strategy, vision, and key business development initiatives. Dennis

MSN and Director of Marketing for Microsoft Office. Prior to Microsoft, Dennis held
various marketing and business development positions with ITT Information Systems and
Alcatel NV. In addition to his experience as a technology executive, Dennis has owned
and operated his own record label, produced concerts and events, and performed.
Dennis holds an MBA from Cornell University and a BA from the University of Oregon.
Mark sets the technical vision for the company, including our product, service, and
partnership roadmaps. In addition to responsibility for all product development, Mark’s
special area of emphasis is on firmware integration and the overall architecture of the
Dadio digital audio platform. Mark is an experienced software architect with a keen
vision regarding future technologies. Prior to iObjects, Mark held senior engineering
positions with Saltmine and Metabridge, and was a researcher in the University of
Washington’s Human Interface Technology Lab. Mark earned a BS in Computer

Bogle and Gates. Miller currently serves on several boards, including the Seattle
Biomedical Research Institute and Innovative Research Labs. He holds a BA in
Economics and a JD from the University of Washington.
iObjects currently has 28 full time employees. Collectively our engineering team has
strong skills in the areas of embedded systems, advanced mathematics, mechanical
engineering and human interface design.
Summary
iObjects is strongly positioned in the emerging market for digital audio. As an early
pioneer in this market, iObjects has developed a significant lead and is poised to
capitalize on its position as the market for consumer digital audio products grows.
iObjects was the first company to develop and ship a multi-codec media player. iObjects
was the first company to create a turnkey solution for portable digital audio players and
to successfully license and ship its design to a major manufacturing partner. iObjects is
now primed to become the first company to offer a complete line of consumer digital
audio devices that is built on a common, interoperable platform. We believe this is a
powerful strategic advantage that will be difficult for competitors to overcome.
The iObjects team has the experience, the vision and the talent to achieve its potential.
We believe the future is ours to create.

Hi,
Wickerl,

Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) ist eine Schnittstelle von Microsoft. UPnP soll viele verschiedene Geräte in einem Mischnetzwerk verbinden. (Ein Netzwerk das verschiedene Protokolle nutzt). Universal Plug and Play ist eine Initiative, die von Microsoft und über 80 führenden Technologieunternehmen unterstützt wird. Damit wird unter Windows das Anschließen eines neuen Scanners oder Druckers kinderleicht. Die Geräte werden von Windows sofort erkannt und umgehend kann vom gesamten Netzwerk aus darauf zugegriffen werden.

Die Implementierung von iObjects UPnP erlaubt Benutzern, eine gemeinsame Musikbibliothek zu benutzen und Mittels Stromnetz, Kabel oder über drahtlose Einheiten Mediainhalte über digitalen Audioeinheiten im Haus, Büro, Auto und überall dazwischen zu erkennen und an alle Einheiten zu übertragen.

An der letzten CES in Las Vegas wurde der Prototyp "DAR" vorgestellt. "DAR" wurde von Microsoft, iOmega und iObjects auf der Plattform "Drama" entwickelt. Aber leider sind die Geschäfte mit iOmega vorerst quasi eingefroren.

Vermutlich wurde das UpnP-Modul bereits an Microsoft ausgeliefert und steckt vielleicht u. a. in Windows ME und/oder Windows XP, oder steht bald zum Downloaden zur Verfügung.

Nur noch 9 Tage bis zur Consumer Electronics Show (CES)! (8. bis 11. Januar 2002)



Ausblick für das Jahr 2002:
iObjects ist für mich ein kommender Hochkaräter, eine unentdeckte Perle, wie es unter 1.000ten an der BB nur sehr wenige gibt. Jeder, der frühzeitig so eine Aktie ins Depot nimmt, für den erfüllt sich der geheime Traum aller Aktionäre: Jede Menge Shareholder-Value.

Die CES könnte der Durchbruch für das junge Unternehmen werden. Ich Zweifel keine Minute daran: iObjects hat sich auf ihren ersten Messeauftritt bestens vorbereitet und so mancher Besucher wird mit Begeisterung auf den Messestand von iObjects digitale Musik, Bilder oder Videos Mittels von iObjects entwickelten oder mitentwickelten mobile oder stationäre Geräte hören oder sehen. Nicht nur das normale Fußvolk, sondern auch Manager aus der Elektro-, Musik-, Video-, Museums-, Kunst-, Spiele-, Vergnügungsparks-, Flugzeug-, Handy-, Auto- und Bahnindustrie (und, und...) werden nicht nur auf eine Tasse Tee oder Kaffee vorbeikommen.
Ich habe gehört, dass der Stand direkt neben Cirrus steht. Für gemeinsame Präsentationen ist die örtliche Nähe geradezu ideal - hier die Chips und da die Endgeräte, auch Prototypen
Portable digital audio players (DAPs), Internet radios and digital audio receivers (DARs), Digital home jukebox systems and home media servers (audio, video and imaging), Digital car stereos, Digital media kiosks and download stations, Set top boxes, Digital video recorders and Image viewers.

Dennis Tevlin sprach unlängst davon, das sie derzeitig hart arbeiten - auch an patentierbare Technologien. Ich persönlich spekuliere auf Personal Videoeinheiten und auf eine sehr gute Zusammenarbeit mit Cirrus denn auch da hat sich betreffend Videochips sehr viel getan, eine Bestätigung für eine Zusammenarbeit fehlt jedoch noch.

Ein weiteres Highlight für 2002 wird wohl die Einführung von UMTS in Europa sein. iObjects hat die ideale Software (Dadio) für mobile Einheiten und somit sehr gute Chancen ein UMTS-Lieferant zu werden (IMO).

Von PoGo Produkts werden wir die Produkte auf der CES sehen, vielleicht auch von Nikko, SSI und I-Jam.

Als ich bin sehr, sehr gespannt auf das was iObjects und die CES am 8. bis 11. Januar bringt.

Euch allen ein gesundes, gutes neues Jahr 2002!
Euer Brummbär

Hi,
wie ich es geschrieben habe, Cirrus und Fullplay (heute noch iObjects) arbeiten auch auf der CES zusammen.


Von Dennis Tevlin:

Dear Investor,
Today we announced a name change to Fullplay Media Systems, Inc.. We will officially begin trading under the stock symbol "FPLY" beginning Monday, January 7th, 2002. Next week, we will be launching a number of new products at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. CES is the granddaddy, so to speak, of all major trade shows that cover our industry. For the first time in our history, our Company will have its own tradeshow exhibit booth. Our booth (#3649) will be directly across from Cirrus Logic`s exhibit booth in the main hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVC 1-2). We will also be featured in Cirrus Logic`s press/customer suites on the 2nd floor of the Marriott Suites Hotel which is located just across the street from the convention center.
Fullplay will also be showcasing new products inside of Cirrus` tradeshow booth and in the booths and press suites of numerous other companies (including Microsoft, Pogo!Products, among others).

We are truly excited about 2002. We believe we have the opportunity to grow our business substantially and have positioned ourselves to be at the right place, at the right time, as the market for digital media products grows.

Next week we will be making a number of new product announcements. I will be busy at the tradeshow and will therefore not have the opportunity of sending out investor emails in conjunction with each press release so please be on the lookout for all the Fullplay news!
Also, we will be debuting our new website - www.fullplaymedia.com - on Monday in celebration of our new corporate identity. Check it out! I think you will like what you see.

Here`s a link to the press release that went out today. Thanks for your continued support.

Microsoft preps Windows info appliance
By Rick Merritt
EE Times
(01/04/02, 3:55 p.m. EST)

MANHASSET, N.Y. — Microsoft Corp. is expected to roll out a concept for a Windows-centric
information appliance at the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show. The move comes on the
heels of the company`s successful Xbox launch.

In a second front in its push into the home, the company will detail new home-networking
capabilities embedded in Windows XP. But sources familiar with the plans are split on whether
they will extend the Windows giant`s reach into the consumer realm or simply become the next in
a long line of failed info appliance concepts.

Microsoft chairman and chief software architect Bill Gates will announce a family of
portable devices developed under the code name Mira in his keynote Monday (Jan. 7) at
CES, in Las Vegas. The systems will leverage new terminal-services software that
handles the light work of presenting data on a liquid-crystal display, relying on an 802.11b
wireless connection to a Windows XP desktop PC that actually cranks out the
application-processing work.

Citrix Systems Inc. (Fort Lauderdale, Fla.) uses a similar approach to divide Windows applications
into a presentation piece for simple client devices and a back-end processing chunk for servers
used in a business setting.

National Semiconductor Corp., a longtime champion of information appliances, will show a
reference design for the Mira system based on its Geode processor at CES. A number of
computer and consumer OEMs, including Philips, are expected to show prototype systems
that use Mira software to offer PC capabilities on tablet-size devices. Products will ship in
late 2002 at a cost of $500 to $800.

In the future, Microsoft hopes to provide the terminal-services software to makers of various
home devices that could provide PC and Web features. Microsoft would not comment on its plans
prior to Gates` keynote.

"It`s an interesting model that I think will work very well," said a source familiar with Mira who
asked not to be named. "People will start embracing the Mira concept in a wide variety of
devices, like set-tops, Tivo video recorders and so on. The kitchen PC becomes realistic
and not expensive with this approach."

Another source was more skeptical. "The concept is valid. It`s a way of extending the PC
experience to multiple sites over 802.11, but my suspicions are the customers will be limited to
early-adopter types," he said.

Microsoft would say only that Mira was developed and will be sold by its Embedded and Appliance
Division, which was reorganized about two months ago under Todd Warren.

A separate Microsoft group named eHome has been prototyping products and developing software
to help link various devices across different home networks. That group is initially exploring
ways to intelligently route audio files between PCs, home stereos and other devices over
a variety of home network types using both new software and features present in the
recently launched Windows XP but not publicly described before.

Microsoft is said to have OEM partners ready to adopt the new home-networking
software. The company is believed to be debating whether to actually certify systems using that
software and brand them with an eHome logo.

"Gates is passionate about this. He was passionate about the Xbox last year, and this is his thing
for 2002," said another source familiar with the company`s consumer plans who asked not to be
named.

The source said the eHome and XP software would perform functions similar to the Sony Visca,
launched several years ago. The Visca was an infrared-based switch box the size of two large
paperback novels that allowed various Sony-made consumer systems to talk to each other. The
eHome and XP software would work across multiple vendors` systems and multiple
home-networking types.

By contrast, the Mira systems could address one of the problems that has plagued information
appliances: the lack of the full feature set offered by PCs. However, due to the 802.11b links,
these systems still face significant limits. For instance, they are not expected to be capable of
running PC games software or streaming audio or video.

One source said the bill of materials for a Mira system could be half that of a notebook computer.
Still, at expected prices of $500 or more, Mira boxes will be nearly as expensive as buying a
second PC. On top of that, users would have to pay $130 or more to set up an 802.11b network.

"There has not been a compelling product for the consumer that takes us beyond the PC," said
Mike Polacek, vice president of information appliances at National Semiconductor (Santa Clara,
Calif.). "Still, National has 50 to 60 new consumer systems being developed, some by companies
with marquee names and others that are small firms you have never heard of. So I`m convinced
this is still going to happen."

Polacek would not discuss the Mira project prior to the Gates speech, but he did say his group
has witnessed the downfall of other devices in this area such as the I-Opener from startup
Netpliance Inc. and the Audrey from 3Com Corp. "Consumer marketing is a tricky business, and I
don`t know if Microsoft has any more information on this than the others," Polacek said.

Indeed, several years ago Microsoft used CES as a platform to launch its consumer PC interface,
called Bob, which quickly flopped.

Separately, a spin-off from former PC maker Zenith Data Systems used the Citrix technology
several years ago to launch a handheld Windows tablet for business users which depended on a
wireless link to a desktop PC. That product also failed, though analysts said wireless connections
have become much cheaper and offer more bandwidth today.

Despite Microsoft`s checkered history in the consumer market, Gates is expected to claim
leadership in consumer electronics based on sales of some 1.5 million Xbox videogame consoles, a
feat he will claim in his CES keynote represents the most successful launch of a consumer
product ever. The company hopes to follow up that launch with a number of products that will
carry the logo of its eHome Division and be based on Microsoft software or reference designs.

Hi,
Wickerl,

ich gebe dir Recht, das riecht sehr stark nach Big News. Fullplay Media Systems könnte auf der Mehrzweckentwicklungsplattform Dharma aktiv bei der Entwicklung der Produktfamilie "Mira" mitgeholfen haben.
Lese bitte hier "Details über Fullplay Medias (iObjects) Dharma", und du wirst viele Übereinstimmungen feststellen:

Dharma in detail

Ordering the Universe of Digital Media

In Hindu, the word Dharma stands for the principle that orders the universe. For iObjects, Dharma is the inspiration behind a new platform that integrates the most common digital media applications and hardware subsystems into a single design.

Dharma is a multi-purpose development platform that enables the creation of a family of compatible products. Dharma standardizes the key hardware and software interfaces of a digital media reference design allowing core modules to be swapped in and out interchangeably. Dharma can therefore support a family of microprocessors, and integrate virtually any storage solution including flash memory, spinning media and CD/optical disks.
Dharma enables designs using either battery or line power, and can support a wide range of wired and wireless communications technologies including Ethernet, TCP/IP, 802.11, FM transceiver, 1394 FireWire, and Bluetooth. Dharma also supports rich user interface options, including HTML and bitmapped designs, as well as output to a variety of displays including LCDs, TV, and personal computers.

Products that Work Together as One

With iObjects Dharma, digital media players are intelligently aware of one another, allowing the automatic transfer of music or spoken word content across devices in the home, in the car, or on the go. Dharma devices stream content to one another through wired or wireless communications protocols. Dharma devices share the same media for easy file transfer and content portability. Together with iObjects Dadio™ OS, Dharma supports all of the most popular codecs including MP3, MPEG-4, WMA, Dolby AAC, Audible and Ogg Vorbis, and will
manage playlists of up to 6,000 hours or 100,000 songs. Dharma also works with Dadio`s integrated digital rights management (DRM) capabilities, supporting both Microsoft`s Windows Media™ and InterTrust`s Rights/PD™ DRM software for embedded systems.

Pre-configured for the Most Popular Applications

Dharma is available in a variety of configurations including the portable stereo, Internet radio, digital audio receiver, home jukebox, digital car stereo, and in-store Retail Kiosks. Dharma includes Dadio software SDKs for each configuration that are pre-tested and integrated into each hardware design. These SDKs greatly enhance an OEMs ability to evaluate, design and manufacture a final product. Because the SDKs are built on a common
code base and modular hardware architecture, they offer OEMs the flexibility to mix and match functionality in each product category. Dadio SDKs speed OEM market entry and provide a solid base for future development.

Brummbär

Hi zusammen

Eigentlich bin ich etwas überrascht das Tevlin die Namensänderung so kurz vor der CES vollzogen hat.Ich hoffe das wir bald auf die neue Homepage zugreifen können.Was mir persönlich noch fehlt ist eine Information über die zweite Hälfte der Finanzierung,warum kam es nicht dazu ?
In den letzten zwei Monaten ist es etwas still um "Full Playmedia"geworden,was aber nicht bedeuten muß das Tevlin die Ideen ausgegangen sind.Vielmehr glaube ich das die Company in Ruhe an etwas ganz neues gearbeitet hat,um es auf der wichtigsten Messe des Jahres vorstellen zu können.
Warum nicht mit MSFT `?

Am Freitag standen zwei 100 000 Blöcke im bid,unwahrscheinlich das ein Zocker 260 000$ in einen OTC Wert steckt der in den letzten Wochen eigentlich recht gut gelaufen ist.
Alles in allem sehe ich sehr optimistisch in die Zukunft,die letzten Zahlen haben verdeutlicht das FPLY auf dem richtigen Weg ist.

Hi Leute,

hat die Vereinbarung von MSFT mit den DVD-Player-Herstellern Auswirkungen auf FPLY (OBJX) ???????????

Monday January 7, 3:00 am Eastern Time

DVD players to use Microsoft music technology

SEATTLE, Jan 7 (Reuters) - Microsoft Corp. (NasdaqNM:MSFT - news) on Monday said four makers of DVD players would start supporting its digital audio technology, letting users play disks with up to 250 hours of music and extending the software giant`s reach farther into the living room.

Electronics companies Panasonic, Toshiba Corp. , Apex and Shinco will make DVD players capable of playing Windows Media Audio (WMA), a ``compression`` technology that shrinks digital music to a fraction of its original size without much loss of quality.

Until recently people using WMA, or the popular MP3 format, have had to listen to compressed music on a computer or special digital music device because most regular CD players cannot play the compressed songs.

Electronics manufacturers have been enabling new CD players to recognize a variety of formats and play discs containing 10 to 20 hours of music.

The Microsoft deals will enable new DVD players to play music recorded on recordable DVDs, high capacity disks that can store about six times more data than CDs. The players are starting to break into the mass consumer market as prices come down.

``This is going to make Windows Media content very broadly available to people in the living room at high quality,`` Microsoft digital media unit group manager Jonathan Usher said in an interview.

``Many millions more people have CD-bur??? DVD burning is on the upswing,`` Usher said.

Microsoft will have a close relationship with Panasonic, which would use Windows Media technology in a range of its consumer devices, including CD players and digital music gadgets, Usher said.

Bundled MoodLogic personal music management software cleans up ID3 tag information, generates and shares one-click playlists based on music tastes, auto classifies music and recommends songs.
16 MB SDRAM Buffer stores your music in memory and stops the hard drive from spinning during playback - delivering up to 12 minutes of electronic skip protection, while also saving battery life and speeding up navigation.
Quality Accessory Package includes a set of comfortable, over-the-head Rio headphones and a custom carrying case that lets you view and access the unit while providing protection.
Bundled RealJukebox® and iTunes(TM) music management software ensures that your Rio Riot is PC or Mac compatible out of the box.
MP3 and WMA playback lets you listen to the most common file formats and is upgradeable to other emerging digital standards through software releases. SONICblue also plans to add support for the Audible spoken audio content service into the Rio Riot in a future release.
The first of many new Rio audio products for SONICblue in 2002, the Rio Riot will be showcased in SONICblue`s product display at this week`s Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, Nevada. SONICblue`s CES display can be found at booth #2927 in the Central Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center.

CES: DVD-Player lesen Memory Sticks

Samsung Electronic will auf der CES vier DVD-Player vorstellen, die auch Memory Sticks verarbeiten können. Bei den vier Geräten handelt es sich um den portablen Player DVD-L100 mit LC-Display (ab April auf dem US-Markt, 1300 US-Dollar), den DVD-Audio-/Video-Player DVD-921M (ab Mai, 300 US-Dollar), den DVD-/VHS-Kombi DVD-V2500 (ab Mai, 350 US-Dollar) und den DVD-Video-Player DVD-P721M (ab April, 250 US-Dollar). Nach Angaben des Unternehmen sind dies die ersten Modelle weltweit, die in der Lage sind, Memory Sticks auszulesen.

Allerdings können die Player selbst anscheinend nichts auf die Speicherkarten schreiben. Vielmehr will Samsung PC-Nutzern die Möglichkeit geben, Audio- und Bild-Daten vom PC mittels Memory Stick in einen DVD-Player zu transportieren, der diese dann auf dem Fernseher beziehungsweise über die Stereoanlage wiedergibt. Alle vier Player sollen MP3-Files und Digitalfotos wiedergeben können, genauere Angaben machte Samsung bislang nicht.

Welche Formate die Geräte zusätzlich unterstützen, die statt auf Memory Stick auf CD-R/-RW vorliegen, hängt vom Player ab. So sollen zwar alle Memory-Stick-DVD-Player, wie die offizielle Bezeichnung lautet, MP3- und WMA-Dateien von Disc abspielen, aber nur einige Modelle auch Bilder im Photo-CD-Format anzeigen können: Bislang scheint dazu nur der DVD-P721M in der Lage zu sein.

CES: Microsoft propagiert den "Extended PC"

Zu Beginn seiner Eröffnungsrede auf der Consumer Electronics Show (CES) stellte sich Bill Gates erst einmal hinter Intel-Chef Craig Barrett, der bei seinerKeynote den PC als "Zentrum des digitalen Universums" bezeichnet hatte. Barrett habe erkannt, worum es gehe: Die endgültige Aufhebung der Trennung von Computertechnologie und Unterhaltungselektronik. Der erste Schritt in diese Richtung seien MP3-Player gewesen, der nächste dürften Produkte (wie Sonys Wireless AV/IT Gateway) sein, die es ermöglichen, den PC überall im Haus zu benutzen.

Das Endziel ist nach Meinung des Microsoft-Vorstandsvorsitzenden aber der "Extended PC", der 24 Stunden am Tag läuft und auf dem Microsofts kommendes Beriebssystem Whistler sein Werk verrichtet. Diese Entwicklung habe für die Anwender gleich zwei Vorteile, meinte Gates: Einerseits könne der PC so als ideale Schaltzentrale im ganzen Haus agieren, andererseits sei das kommende Windows perfekt auf den Multiuser-Betrieb abgestimmt. Schließlich habe man bei Microsoft erkannt, dass die wenigsten Rechner nur von einer Person alleine benutzt werden. Bei Whistler werde man daher das ewige Log-In/Log-Out-Prozedere beenden: Alle User sind angemeldet, die Aktionen der Benutzer, die gerade nicht am PC arbeiten, treten jeweils in den Hintergrund.

Anschließend demonstrierte Gates den PC der Zukunft, auf Whistler ausgerichtet, entsprechend mit "User-Select"-Knöpfen ausgestattet und drahtlos mit eigens entwickelten Geräten verbunden. So wurde neben einem elektronischen Bilderrahmen, der als Diashow die Fotos der Lieben zeigt, noch ein Radiowecker vorgestellt. Letzterer bezieht nicht nur drahtlos seine Playlist und ganze Terminplanungen vom Rechner, sondern alle Inhalte wie Lieder und Sprache. Auf diese Weise ließen sich laut Gates extrem preiswerte, da dumme Endgeräte herstellen – eine Vorstellung, die der Unterhaltungselektronikindustrie nicht unbedingt schmecken muss und manche an das klassische Rechenzentrum im Gewand der Unterhaltungselektronik erinnern mag.

Erst, wenn alle Geräte miteinander kommunizieren und ihre Daten untereinander abgleichen, ohne dass es den User interessieren müsse, wie dies im einzelnen funktioniert, sei das Ziel – "Extreme Entertainment" – erreicht. Hierzu arbeite Microsoft an einem verbesserten Treibermodell, das "universal plug & play" ermögliche. Wer zukünftig eine Digitalkamera via USB mit einem PC verbinde, erhalte beispielsweise gleich die Möglichkeit, die auf der Kamera enthaltenen Bilder auf den Rechner zu laden. Einen Klick später könnten diese dann schon via Internet auf Omis digitalem Bilderrahmen erscheinen.

Zu den Vorstellungen von Microsoft und Bill Gates über die weitere Entwicklung in der EDV-Welt siehe auch Bill Gates präsentiert Microsofts Spielkonsole Xbox und Pocket PC Plus - die PDA-Zukunft laut Microsoft sowie Microsoft steigt bei digitalen Videorecordern ein. (nij/c`t) / (jk/c`t)

Microsoft will Fernseher und PC verheiraten

Microsoft-Chef Bill Gates wird am Montag zur Eröffnung der Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas ein "Media Pad" präsentieren. Es soll Computer und Fernseher zusammenbringen, will der News-Dienst CNet aus "gut unterrichteten Kreisen" erfahren haben. Mira, so der vermutliche Name des drahtlosen Gerätes, ist eine Mischung aus Pocket-PC, Internet-Terminal, Fernbedienung und aufgemotztem Joystick. Es soll einen eigenen Bildschirm enthalten, um beispielsweise Menüs darzustellen, und als zentrale Fernsteuerung für Fernseher, PC und die Spielkonsole Xbox dienen; das ganze soll im Rahmen von Microsofts eHome-Strategie mit dem Terminal-Server und .NET-Techniken arbeiten.

Microsoft integriert eigenes WMA-Format in DVD-Player

Seattle (Reuters) - Vier Hersteller von DVD-Playern wollen nach Angaben von Microsoft
in ihre Geräte eine Technologie des US-Softwarekonzerns zum Abspielen digitaler
Musikstücke integrieren. Auf neuen DVD-Playern von Panasonic, Toshiba, Apex und
Shinco könnten künftig auch Musikdateien abgespielt werden, die im Microsoft-Format
Windows Media Audio (WMA) auf
DVDs gebrannt wurden, teilte
Microsoft am Montag auf der
Consumer Electronics Show in Las
Vegas mit. Ähnlich dem MP3-Format
können mit WMA Musikdateien auf
einen Bruchteil ihrer ursprünglichen
Größe komprimiert werden. Sie
können auf Computern oder speziell
ausgerüsteten Geräten aus der
Unterhaltungselektronik abgespielt
werden.

Mit Hilfe von MP3 passen - je nach Qualität - zehn bis 20 Stunden
Musik auf einzelne CDs. Auf einer DVD, die sechs mal mehr Daten
aufnehmen kann, lassen sich nach Angaben von Microsoft mit der WMA-Technologie bis zu 250 Stunden Musik
speichern. DVD-Player haben sich inzwischen auf dem Massenmarkt etabliert. DVD-Rekorder sind erst im vergangenen
Jahr auf den Markt gekommen.

"DVD-Brennen ist offensichtlich auf dem Vormarsch", sagte Microsoft-Manager Jonathan Usher. Durch die Vereinbarung
mit den DVD-Player-Herstellern hielten Windows-Media-Inhalte mit hoher Qualität Einzug in die Wohnzimmer. Mit
Panasonic sei zudem vereinbart, die Windows-Media-Technologie in eine Reihe weiterer Geräte zu integrieren, darunter
CD-Player und andere digitale Abspielgeräte. Panasonic gehört dem japanischen Konzern Matsushita Electric Industrial.

``Car audio enthusiasts and mainstream consumers alike are eager to enjoy their digital music collections wherever and whenever they travel,`` said Michael Townsen, vice president of marketing for Mobile Entertainment at Pioneer Electronics. ``We`re supporting WMA in our car stereo systems so our customers can easily listen to hour after hour of their favorite CD-quality digital music whenever they hit the road.``

``This is what everyone has been waiting for: the ability to play back nearly a full day`s worth of your favorite music in your car, on a single CD, without ever hearing the same song twice,`` said Dave Fester, general manager of the Windows Digital Media Division at Microsoft. ``Leading car stereo manufacturers are putting digital music fans in the driver`s seat by building WMA support into their new systems.``

The new car stereo systems include these:

-- AIWA`s CDC-MA01. This in-dash CD player supports WMA and MP3 files. It
offers a front-panel input jack that allows portable audio devices such
as digital audio players and portable CD players to play through the
car audio system. The AIWA CDC-MA01 is available at a suggested retail
price of $349.95.
-- Blaupunkt`s San Jose MP41 and the MP3000. The San Jose MP41 and
Blaupunkt MP3000 are powerful CD receivers with outstanding music file
management, including an eight-layer directory and a wireless remote
control. The Blaupunkt MP3000 also offers CD changer compatibility. The
San Jose MP41 is $399 and the MP3000 is $339 (U.S.).
-- Kenwood`s Excelon KDC-X959 reads WMA, MP3 and conventional CD audio
files and has significantly increased file and folder access speed,
creating near-CD-speed access times when searching folder files or
going from file to file. It also features Organic Electro Luminescent
(OEL) display, which can show and store 40 consumer-created images or
a consumer`s 5-second MPEG movie. It has a manufacturer`s suggested
retail price of $700 (U.S.) and will be available this April.
-- Pioneer`s DEH-P9400MP, DEH-P8400MP, Pioneer Premier DEH-P940MP and the
Pioneer Premier DEH-P840MP will offer WMA support for CD-R playback in
2002. Each of these models includes OEL information displays including
up to 32 bytes of file names and will be available in March at most
consumer electronics retailers.


Because WMA offers CD-quality sound at half the file size of MP3, it is enjoying broad support in many consumer electronic devices. More than 100 devices now support Windows Media from portable audio devices to CD players, home stereo components, new car stereo systems and now, as also announced today, DVD players.

CONSUMER ELECTRONICS SHOW

Moxi, Mira und der Potter-Gates

Sechsstellige Besucherzahlen, 2000 Aussteller und zahlreiche Hightech-Premieren: Die "CES" ist alles, was die Cebit Home einmal werden wollte. Heute beginnt die Leistungsshow - mit Tamtam und Fun, Technik und Billy Gates als Hightech-Harry-Potter.


REUTERS

Zauberhaft: Bill Gates - wie immer für jeden (werbenden) Spaß zu haben - als Harry Potter


Die Hightech-Branche wittert Frühlingsluft. Gestern trommelte Apple lauter, als man das seit Jahren (oder "Würfeln") gehört hatte und konnte seinen Fans zudem wirklich etwas bieten: Der neue iMac spaltet zwar die Gemeinde, die sich zwischen "echte Innovation" und "Nachtischlampen-Design" noch nicht so recht festlegen mag, ist aber tatsächlich die erste mutige Innovation seit dem (glorios gescheiterten) Cube. Volltonig trompetet da Steve Jobs, mit dem neuen iCube werde Apple "einmal mehr" die Welt der Computer verändern.

IN SPIEGEL ONLINE

· Messeauftritt: Gates mimt den Zauberlehrling (08.01.2002)

· Kartellverfahren: Schlappe für Microsoft (07.01.2002)

· Apple-Neuheit: "Halbkugel mit Flachbildschirm" (07.01.2002)




Solche Töne gehören zum Geschäft, seit sich Händler auf Märkten schreiend um die Gunst der Kunden bewerben. Und da sich (zum Glück) nicht jedes Unternehmen eine eigene "Expo" leisten kann oder mag, gibt es Veranstaltungen wie die CES, die Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Die ist das, was die Cebit Home immer werden wollte: Eine echte Neuigkeitenmesse für Wohn-, Arbeits- und Kinderzimmer-Hightech. In diesem Jahr, hoffen die Experten, soll sie zum frühesten Impulsgeber für einen Aufschwung werden, den die Hightech-Branche dringend braucht.

Wichtigster Hilfsmotor bei dieser steilen Bergauffahrt dürfte, das ist spätestens seit dem Weihnachtsgeschäft klar, der DVD-Player werden - in allen möglichen Varianten und Kombinationen mit anderen Geräten. Überhaupt scheint sich die Aufmerksamkeit des Publikums ein wenig weg vom PC und dem Fernseher zuzuwenden - ein Unterschied, der allerdings immer stärker verschwimmt.


Verhalten optimistisch: Bitkom-Chef Bernhard Rohleder


Denn zur "Killer Application" in Sachen digitales Wohnzimmer könnte die "Multimedia Home Platform" MHP werden, ein Standard, auf den sich die führenden Anbieter im letzten Jahr einigten. Der soll nun gewährleisten, dass der Fernseher von Anbieter A auch reibungslos mit dem Amplifier von B und der Trockeneisnebelmaschine von C harmoniert. Denn 2002 soll - wenn es nach dem Willen der Hersteller geht - das Jahr sein, in dem jeder Haushalt sein eigenes, multimedial aufgemopptes Kino bekommt.

Auf der Protz- und Prestigeebene locken hier große TV-Screens und brillante Projektoren, kombiniert mit Dolby-Sorround-Anlagen, die das Wohnzimmer zum Erlebnis-Kino und die Nachbarn zu Feinden machen. Technisch interessanter und tatsächlich zukunftsweisend ist das Maß, in dem mit MHP der Traum von der "Konvergenz" aller Medien ein Stückchen wahrer wird: Bald schon, so scheint es, löst ein einziges "Wohnzimmer Entertainment"-Gadget Stereoanlagen, Fernseher, Videorecorder und selbst zum Teil den PC ab, denn auch die seit fünf Jahren vor sich hinkrebsenden Web-TV-Geräte und Surfterminals erleben ein Revival.

Das ist nur logisch, mausert sich doch - bisher vor allem in den USA - das gute alte Fernsehkabel zur vielleicht besten Alternative zum DSL-Anschluss. Ähnliches haben die Entwickler bald auch für die Nutzer von Satellitenschüsseln im Gepäck: Auf der CES werden aber wohl noch keine serienreifen Produkte für diese Klientel zu haben sein. All diesen Produkten ist jedenfalls die Philosophie gemein, dass, wenn man schon über die TV-Buchse surft, am Besten doch gleich auch vor der Flimmerkiste sitzen sollte.

Revival des Web-TV?


AP

Steve Perlman: Dem Ex-Web-TV-Mann gelang im Vorfeld der CES mit "Moxi" der öffentlich meistbeachtete Wurf


Das findet zum Beispiel Steve Perlman, seines Zeichens einer der Väter der weitestgehend erfolglosen Web-TV-Technik. Mit "Moxi" holt er noch einmal aus, und anscheinend gelingt ihm damit ein weit besserer Wurf: Die in zwei Jahren Entwicklung entstandene Kiste will Audio, Video, TV und Internet verschmelzen, alles können - und das auch noch gut.

Moxi ist ein Set-Top-Box-Software-Konzept, das für die Integration verschiedener "Dienste" sorgen soll: Auf der Basis des freien Betriebssystems Linux integriert die Software die bisher von einer Set-Top-Box erfüllte Funktion für den Fernsehempfang mit Multimedia-Anwendungen von der 80 Gigabyte großen Festplatte oder dem DVD-Laufwerk. Ebenso möglich sind E-Mail, Internet und andere klassische Computeranwendungen.

Das System kann mehrere Signale gleichzeitig unterstützen, so dass Nutzer in verschiedenen Räumen darauf zugreifen können. "Es nimmt alle digitalen Medien und bringt sie nicht nur zu Ihrem PC, sondern auch zu Ihrer

"Moxi": Perlmans Set-Top-Box will alles können, und dann noch gut


Fernseh- und Audioanlage", erklärt Perlman. Sein Unternehmen will die Hardware nicht selbst produzieren, sondern stattdessen die Technik an Lizenznehmer verkaufen. Die Investorenliste deutet darauf hin, dass Moxi möglicherweise keine Fata Morgana wird, sondern wirklich bald in den Regalen liegen könnte: Zu den Investoren von Moxi gehören AOL Time Warner, Cisco und Echostar Communications.

Eine wichtige Rolle im Rahmen der CES dürften zudem Camcorder, Digi-Kameras und andere Gegenstände des "digitalen Lifestyles" spielen. Große Sensationen sind dabei kaum zu erwarten, doch nachhaltiger und wichtiger sind am Ende wirklich all die kleinen, nun erschwinglichen Dinge, die Einzug in immer mehr Haushalte finden. Das reicht von der preiswerten, kleinen Digi-Kamera nebst kinderleichter Bildverarbeitungs-Software bis hin zum GPS-Tracking-Sicherheits-System für Kinder.

Bereits im Vorfeld trommelte auch Bill Gates - im Versuch, dem Dauerkonkurrenten Apple ein wenig die Schau zu stehlen - für sein jüngstes Baby: "Mira" ist ein Monitor - und mehr als das. Microsoft, erneut in den
EPA/DPA

"Mira": Microsoft trennt den Monitor vom PC und macht diesen so innerhalb des Hauses portabel


Gewässern der Hardware-Anbieter fischend - trennt den Monitor vom Computer und macht ihn so portabel. Innerhalb des Funk-Hausnetzwerkes ist der jeweilige Arbeits- oder Surfplatz so frei wählbar: Eine Erweiterung des Konzeptes der "Web-Tablets". "Moxi" und "Mira" machen klar, wohin der Zug der technischen Entwicklung geht: "Convergence" und "Convenience" sind die Zauberworte der diesjährigen CES - Konvergenz und Bequemlichkeit.

Early Adopters mögen weiterhin die Versuchskaninchen der Industrie bleiben, die die jeweils neuesten Gadgets auf Prestigewert und Brauchbarkeit erproben. Wirtschaftlich relevante Trends hingegen werden von "ganz normalen" Menschen gesetzt: Erst wenn eine Technik sich so durchsetzt, dass sie auch von nicht technikaffinen Kunden gekauft wird, ist sie lukrativ. In Deutschland, schätzt Bitkom-Chef Bernhard Rohleder, gingen im Weihnachtsgeschäft zwischen 700.000 und 800.000 DVD-Player über die Ladentheke.

Die Consumer Electronics Show findet vom 8. bis zum 11. Januar in Las Vegas statt.

Cirrus Logic Selected by Motorola Broadband as a Wireless Technology Provider for the Motorola Evr-8401 Enhanced Tv Viewer

LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 8, 2002--Consumer Electronics Show--

Cirrus To Supply Wi-Fi (802.11b)
Wireless Networking Technology For New Motorola Device That Allows Personal
Interaction With Internet Content

Cirrus Logic Inc. (Nasdaq:CRUS - news) today announced that Motorola`s Broadband Communications Sector has named it a wireless technology provider for its new EVr-8401 Enhanced TV Viewer. Whitecap(TM)2, the Cirrus Wi-Fi(TM) certified IEEE 802.11b wireless networking technology, will be available for Motorola`s EVr-8401 Enhanced TV Viewer, beginning in 2002. The Motorola EVr-8401 wirelessly connects to either a Motorola DCT5000 family advanced-interactive digital set-top or a stand-alone cable modem for an ``always-on`` high-speed broadband connection.This connection enables the EVr-8401 to offer users a second screen for accessing Internet content relating to the TV programming they are watching. Users are able to casually view content from the Internet on the EVr-8401, while they and those also in the room continue watching the TV programming -- uninterrupted and in full-screen video.

Cirrus`s Whitecap2 network protocol was designed to meet the home-user`s wireless networking needs. For example, Whitecap2 technology incorporates important home-oriented benefits, including support for high-fidelity entertainment content (such as MPEG-2 video and CD-quality audio), built-in resistance from common household interferers such as microwave ovens and cordless phones, and consumer ease-of-use features.

``As the world`s largest provider of set-tops, Motorola is a significant player in the digital entertainment market. We are pleased to have been selected as a wireless connectivity technology provider for Motorola`s EVr-8401, a unique product that will help redefine the TV-viewing experience,`` said Amar Ghori, general manager of Cirrus Logic`s Wireless Networking Division. ``A key piece of the Cirrus vision is to create connectivity solutions for digital entertainment products. The EVr-8401 gave us the opportunity to put these solutions in place.``

``Cirrus` focus on easy-to-use, leading-edge home networking technology is a good fit for our EVr-8401 Enhanced TV Viewer,`` said Dan Moloney, senior vice president and general manager of Motorola Broadband`s IP Systems Group. ``Whitecap2 technology offers broadband network operators a strong technology option for wireless networking. Features like protocol support for quality of service (QoS) will help ensure that subscribers can enjoy streaming media without skips and pauses due to RF interference.``

Wi-Fi, based on 802.11b, is the industry standard for wireless networking at 11mbps. Whitecap2 technology includes Wi-Fi, and adds several industry-first features that differentiate it from other wireless networking solutions. Chief among these innovations is the Whitecap2 protocol`s support for quality of service (QoS). QoS allows high-bandwidth content such as MPEG-2 videos and CD-quality audio to be streamed without skips and pauses, allowing for a much more satisfactory user experience. Unlike data-only transfers, audio and video content requires the sophistication of QoS, which Whitecap2 technology handles in the most consumer friendly way.

Cirrus wireless networking technology has built-in resistance to common household interference. Whitecap2 uses Forward Error Correction (FEC) to thwart household noise and increase available usable throughput, and uses Channel Agility to enable the network to automatically switch to a new, jitter-free channel when interference on the first channel becomes too pervasive. Whitecap2 technology also enables superior signal range, covering more of the house at maximum bandwidth, and performing through obstructions.

Furthermore, Whitecap2 technology is the earliest incarnation of IEEE 802.11e wireless LAN functionality. IEEE802.11e will allow both home and business users to operate on the same standard and add multimedia functionality over simple data throughput. Significant elements of Whitecap2`s QoS enhancements have been incorporated into the 802.11e draft specification, putting Cirrus at the forefront of bringing 802.11e to market and satisfying the special needs of the home.

Cirrus` Wireless Networking Division will be holding technology demonstrations of Whitecap2 at the Consumer Electronics Show at booth No. 3439 Central Hall or Booth No. 11710, South Hall 3 (Wi-Fi Pavilion) at the Las Vegas Convention Center.

CES: Windows CE.NET in den Startlöchern

Microsoft hat auf der CES in Las Vegas Details und weitere Tools sowie Evaluation-Kits zu Windows CE.NET veröffentlicht, das bislang unter dem Codenamen Talisker bekannt war. Mit dem Internet Explorer 5.5, Windows Media 8 und DirectX 8 soll es Multimedia-Anwendungen besser unterstützen als sein Vorgänger. Außerdem wird sich das System an Funknetze mit Bluetooth und IEEE 802.11 anbinden lassen. Von Microsoft als "robustes Echtzeit-Betriebssystem für Smart Devices" bezeichnet, soll es als Betriebssystem und Entwicklungsplattform für Handhelds, Smart Phones, Settop-Boxen und beispielsweise Kassenterminals dienen.

Die spezielle Microsoft Shared Source License for Windows CE ermöglicht den Einblick in Teile des Systems und in zusätzlichen Quellcode, etwa in die Implementierung der Treiber für USB und Bluetooth oder in die der Protokolle Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) und Universal Plug And Play (UPnP). SOAP dient dem Austausch von Datenobjekten; mit UPnP entdecken sich Geräte gegenseitig, etwa eine Kamera den Fotodrucker. Microsoft spricht von dreimal mehr veröffentlichten CE.NET-Code-Zeilen als bei Windows CE 3.0.

Für Entwickler ist das .NET Compact Framework vorgesehen, das Visual Basic .NET und Visual C# .NET unterstützt; Visual Studio .NET benötigt die neuen Smart Device Extensions. Ein Platform Wizzard kennt konkrete Hardware-Konfigurationen und hält Profile für unterschiedliche Anwendungen und Gerätetypen wie Handhelds, Smart Phones oder Web-Pads bereit.

Neben Windows CE.NET bietet Microsoft noch zwei weitere Embedded-Betriebssysteme an: Windows XP Embedded lässt sich für die jeweilige Anwendung zurechtschneiden und etwa vom Internet Explorer befreien. Windows CE for Automotive ist -- nomen est omen -- für den Einsatz in Autos gedacht und soll demnächst auch einen .NET-Nachfolger erhalten. (hes/c`t)

Ich frag mich , ob wir hier im Board die einzigen sind die das Potenzial von Fullplay erkennen.
Der Kurs bewegt sich nicht und auch die Umsätze sind mau !

Überseh ich was oder ist was faul , der Kurs sollte meiner Meinung nach längst über 2$ sein !

servus Diamond23,

das frage ich mich auch!
das liegt wohl daran, dass unser baby noch nicht so bekannt ist?
der messeauftritt wird hoffentlich FPLY bekannter machen.
vielleicht kommen die big news noch (MSFT + CRUS + X + Y + Z)

klick mal hier: http://www.fullplaymedia.com/
und dann auf "partners", ergibt -> "The page cannot be found"

auf dieser seite konnte ich vorgestern noch alle bekannten (die alten) partner anschaun

werden z. zt. neue eingefügt?

wickerl

[Gulliver]

also,

an partnern wurde ja ne ganze menge aufgeführt, bspw. ibm, die wohl nur hardware wie z. b. server stellen, vielleicht muss da auch einiges gerupft werden, was da aufgeführt wurde,

tja der kurs: sieht charttechnisch sehr solide aus, aber zeigt einige verschnauftendenzen!

sind jetzt mit 22 mille bewertet - wo ist der faire preis?! sagts mir!!!

hab probleme die kooperation mit transworld zu beziffern, könnte ne million unterm strich für q4 rausspringen, vielleicht auch plus minus null - who knows

nächstes jahr 4 mille gewinn (reiner schätzwert) mit kgv 10 macht fairen kurs von 2,8

aber: otc ist immer risikoanlage mit mächtigem abschlag zu nasdaq, die investors wollen facts (verdientes geld) sehen, bevor sie rechnen und gegebenenfalls investieren.

Öffentlicher Betatest gestartet


Napsters neuer Anlauf


Von Axel Postinett


Napster gibt nicht auf: Der Chef der Onlinemusikbörse, Konrad Hilbers, hält an seinem Ziel fest, im 1. Quartal 2002 mit einer neuen, kommerziellen Version der Tauschbörse starten zu können. Das erklärte Hilbers am späten Mittwoch bei einer Konferenzschaltung anlässlich der Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.





DÜSSELDORF. Zunächst werde nur der US-Dienst gestartet. Möglichst bald sollte aber speziell große Märkte wie Deutschland, Frankreich und Großbritannien folgen. Napster war wegen ungelöster Probleme mit dem Urheberrechtsschtuz voriges Jahr vom Netz gegangen, nachdem die Tauschbörse von mehreren Musikfirmen erfolgreich vor Gericht verklagt worden war. Ein geplanter Neustart musste wegen ungelöster technischer und Lizenz-Probleme mehrfach verschoben werden.

Am heutigen Donnerstag wird nun mit 20 000 ausgesuchten Nutzern die abschließende Beta-Testphase der neuen Napster-Software gestartet. Nach Meinung von Hilbers ist das jetzt der Durchbruch. Das Fehlen einer sicheren Software sei der wichtigste Grund für die großen Musikfirmen gewesen, Napster Lizenzen zum Musikvertrieb zu verweigern. Doch so einfach scheint die Sache dann doch nicht zu sein: Erst vor wenigen Tagen hatte Hilbers noch gefordert, dass der Kongress in Washington zumindest übergangsweise verbindlicher Lizenz-Preise festlegen müsse (ähnlich den Abgaben, die heute Radiosender bezahlen müssen), falls Industrie und neue Vertriebsinintiativen wie Napster keine Einigung über Vertriebslizenzen erzielen könnten.

Die Zeit für Napster wird knapp

Jetzt hofft Hilbers aber wieder, dass bis zum Ende der Testphase auch die Verhandlungen um die Musikrechte mit den großen Musikfirmen Universal, Sony, Warner, Emi und BMG abgeschlossen werden können. Dabei ist er auch zuversichtlich, dass die angepeilten Preise von 5 bis 10 Dollar pro Monat für 50 Musikstücke gehalten werden können.

Die Tester können kostenlos unter rund 110 000 Musikstücken von unbekannteren Künstleren auswählen und diese auf ihre Computer herunterladen und mit anderen Mitgliedern des Rings tauschen. Mehrere Indepentents (kleine, unabhängige Musikfirmen) hätten Napster die entsprechende Genehmigung erteilt. Ziel ist es, sowohl die software zu testen, die die Nutzer später auf ihre Computer laden werden als auch die dahinter liegende Abrechnungs- und Verwaltungssoftware. Zugleich ist der Sicherheitsaspekt von großer Bedeutung. Das System muss sicherstellen, dass sämtliche Tauschoperationen der Mitglieder exakt erfasst und abgerechnet werden können und, dass nur zuvor lizensierte Musikstücke im System getauscht werden können.

Das System wird familientauglich

Die Software soll ein komplett neues Layout erhalten haben und neben der Musiktauschfunktion auch Chatfunktionen sowie einen Instant Messenger enthalten. Des weiteren sollen zahlreiche Funktionen zur Verwaltung der Musikarchive integriert werden.

Mit jedem Napster-Konto können laut Hilbers bis zu vier Unter-Konten verwaltet werden, um das System familientauglich zu machen. Über eine Eltern-Funktion können dann auch Nutzungsrechte beschränkt werden, sicherlich schon ein Vorgriff auf den für später geplanten Tausch von Videos über Napster. Die Nutzung einens Napster-Kontos soll von mehreren Computern aus möglich sein. Der Haken dabei: Wird auf zwei Rechnern das gleiche Lied heruntergeladen, wird es auch zweimal berechnet. Dieses Problem sei noch nicht gelöst, so Hilbers. Auch das Brennen von Musik auf CD ist noch nicht abschließend geklärt. Kleinere Labels erlaubten auch den Vertrieb von kopierbaren MP3-Files, bei den Musik der großen Anbieter müsse das eigens entwickelte ".nap"-Format verwendet werden. Hier ist eine Kopie oder ein Übertragen auf einen tragbaren Musikspieler beispielsweise nicht erlaubt. Um eine hohe Qualität der Musikdateien zu gewährleisten, will Napster alle Dateien zunächst einmal selber zur Verfügeng stellen, sozusagen in das Netz einspeisen. Im Laufe der Zeit werden sich, sozusagen nach dem Schneeball-System, diese Dateien dann immer weiter auf den Rechnern der Nutzer vervielfältigen.

Das alte, unregulierte Napster hatte in seinen besten Zeiten schätzungsweise über 40 Millionen Nutzer. Wieviele den neuen, kostenpflichtigen Service nutzen werden, ist völlig unklar. Hilbers geht aber davon aus, dass Napster eine "signifikante Größe" erreichen werde. Allerdings, räumt er ein, gehe es darum, die Kreditkarte zu zücken, würden die Leute halt zurückhaltender.

Die Zeit für Napster wird knapp. Wollte die Tauschbörse zunächst noch als Pionier Zeichen setzen, gerät sie mittlerweile immer mehr ins Hintertreffen. Der Musikmarkt im Internet ist zuletzt nach langer Stagnation in Bewegung geraten. Neben Realnetworks mit RealOne ist Ende vergangenen Jahres auch Pressplay online gegangen. Hinter RealOne steht Musicnet, die Vertriebsplattform der Musikfirmen Emi, Warner und BMG, Pressplay wird mit Inhalten von Sony Music und Universal bestückt, aber auch Emi hat mit Pressplay bereits Vertriebsverträge abgschlossen. Auch zahlreiche Websites mit Musik unbekannterer Künstler wie www.vitaminic.de oder www.emusic.com behaupten sich noch im Markt.

servus,
würd mich auch interessieren!
ich vermisse:
- neue aufträge!
- neue kunden!
und, und...

[Fargate]

Der Kurs wird wirklich langsam beunruigend. Entweder gibt
oder gab es auf der Comsumer Show soviel Neuigkeiten
das der Markt immer dünner wird oder die Aufträge und Umsätze sind doch nicht so wie man es sich gedacht hat.
Bei 1,20 $ sollte man lieber die Reisleine erst mal ziehen.
Da die nächsten Zahlen erst in 4 - 5 Wochen kommen
müssen wir genau den Kurs verfolgen.

Hi,
nur keine Panik, die Aufträge kommen schon!

Cirrus Logic First in Industry to Demonstrate Multiple High-Quality Video Streams Over Wireless Home Networks

LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 10, 2002--Consumer Electronics Show--

Synergy Between Recent Acquisitions

Positions Cirrus as the Leader in Wireless Home Entertainment

Cirrus Logic Inc. (Nasdaq:CRUS - news) today reinforced its leadership position in wireless home entertainment with the announcement of the Wireless Spigot(tm) reference design -- a manufacturing platform enabling the rapid development of inexpensive consumer devices that support multiple, high-quality video streams on wireless home networks.

Cirrus Logic pioneered the home media center, a next-generation personal video recorder (PVR) that incorporates streaming and networking functionality to let families enjoy time-shifting and other PVR benefits on any television in the home. The Wireless Spigot receives networked content from the home media center and translates it back into an analog signal so that it can be enjoyed on an ordinary television.
Cirrus Logic`s Whitecap(tm)2 802.11b (Wi-Fi) wireless LAN technology provides quality of service (QoS) control on the wireless network, so that high-quality video can be enjoyed on multiple televisions simultaneously wherever they are located in the home.

``The PVR adds to the enjoyment of home entertainment by significantly enhancing the control consumers have over their viewing experience,`` said Michael Canning, vice president and general manager of Cirrus Logic`s Video Recording Division. ``Our new reference design wirelessly extends the benefits of the PVR to every television set in the home and allows all members of the household to select the program of their choice. These are the kinds of compelling capabilities that will accelerate the adoption cycle of the next generation PVR.``

Spigot supports MPEG-1, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 standards to allow consumers to play the widest possible selection of media on their televisions, including MPEG-4 files that have been downloaded over broadband connections. Using an infrared controller and the user-friendly on-screen menu, consumers can conveniently communicate from any location on their network with a central home media server to select the content they want to watch.

The Whitecap2 technology incorporated into the Wireless Spigot is Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11b) certified and offers unique home-oriented benefits, including quality of service (QoS) management, built-in resistance from prevalent household interferers such as microwave ovens and cordless telephones, and superior range for maximum coverage throughout the household. It also offers consumers ease-of-use features such as channel agility, which allows wireless products to automatically change channels when there is competition from other household appliances.

Pricing and Availability

The Cirrus Logic Spigot reference design is included at no charge with the Maestro(tm) Home Media Center reference design, which acts as the server on the home network. The complete Maestro package of designs for the Home Media Center and Spigot is available now for a one-time charge of $25,000 and includes a board, software, schematics, Gerber files, and a bill of materials. It is available with both Ethernet and wireless connectivity.

CES: DataPlay gibt (endlich) Gas





Auf der vergangenen CeBIT präsentierte Imation voller Stolz DataPlay, ein 500-MByte-Format in Größe eines 5-Mark-Stücks. Viel tat sich danach nicht mehr, was die Entwickler offenbar dazu veranlasste, die kleine Disc in der Folgezeit immer wieder als Neuheit zu präsentieren -- so auch auf der aktuell in Las Vegas stattfindenden Consumer Electronic Show.

Doch gerade, als man sich damit abzufinden begann, auf der CES nicht mehr als die Wiederholung einer Wiederholung zu sehen, kommt dank der Firma Evolution Bewegung in die Sache: In der neuen Südhalle des Messegeländes präsentiert das in North Carolina ansässige Unternehmen nicht nur einen Dataplay-Audio-Player und vorbespielte Medien, sondern sogar den Prototypen eines entsprechenden Video-Players.

Der portable Musik-Player, der Mitte Februar für etwas über 300 US-Dollar auf den amerikanischen Markt kommen soll, unterstützt die Audio-Formate AAC, MP3 und das noch recht unbekannte QDX. Um bei der Masse an speicherbaren Musikstücken (ueber 11 Stunden MP3 in guter Qualität) die Übersicht zu behalten, werden auf dem hintergrundbeleuchteten LC-Display mit einer Auflösung von 128 × 64 Pixel Informationen wie Interpret, Titel, Spieldauer und Restspielzeit ebenso wie das Audio-Format und die verwendete Bitrate angezeigt.

Das Gerät besitzt einen USB-Anschluss und ist selbst in der Lage, die Daten auf DataPlay-Leermedien zu schreiben. Hierbei muss es sich aber nicht unbedingt um Audio-Files handeln, das Gerät kann auch als externes Laufwerk für den PC dienen. Insoweit ist die Bezeichnung als Audio-Player also falsch, wurde von Evolution aber selbst gewählt.

Die DataPlay-Leermedien sollen mit 500 MByte Kapazität in Kürze zum Preis von fünf bis zehn US-Dollar auf den amerikanischen Markt kommen, langfristig strebt man einen Endkundenpreis von zwei US-Dollar an.

Zur Überraschung aller präsentiert Evolution aber auch schon vorbespielte Medien des Labels Virgin. Diese sind kopiergeschützt, zudem beherrscht der Player Digital Rights Management. Folge: Auf den vorgeführten DataPlay-Scheiben befanden sich tatsächlich mehrere Alben der jeweiligen Künstler, obwohl es so schien, als handele es sich nur um ein Album. Käufern soll damit die Möglichkeit gegeben werden, die weiteren auf dem Datenträger vorhandenen Stücke später gegen zusätzliche Gebühren freischalten zu lassen. Hierbei erhält der Nutzer einen eigenen Code für jedes erworbenene Album.

Noch mehr Aufsehen erregt in Las Vegas jedoch der Dataplay-Video-Player, von dem auf der CES funktionstüchtige Modelle zu bewundern sind, auf denen (noch ein klein wenig ruckelig) der Spielfilm "Mission Impossible 2" läuft -- in Microsofts WMV-Format. Passend dazu arbeitet das Gerät mit Windows CE.NET als Betriebssystem.

Als weitere unterstützte Video-Formate gibt Evolution allgemein MPEG-4 sowie ASF an, als Digital-Audio-Player soll das Gerät mit MP3-, AAC- und WMA-Dateien zurechtkommen. Einen Windows-Media-Encoder soll in dem Gerät selbst integriert sein, schließlich ist ein TV-Tuner als Zubehör geplant.

Genaue Angaben über die Markteinführung macht Evolution noch nicht. Sechs bis sieben Monate müsse man aber auf jeden Fall noch warten, so ein Sprecher. Bis dahin werde man den Videoplayer noch weiterentwickeln, weshalb das Unternehmen Aussagen bezüglich der Auflösung des Farb-LC-Displays ebenso verweigerte wie zur maximalen Spieldauer.

Derzeit ist Evolution auf der Suche nach einem Werbepartner, dessen Logo das Gerät später zieren soll. Im Falle des Audio-Players ist dies in den USA der Musiksender MTV. Zudem stehe man in Verbindung mit den Filmstudios, die mit Videos vorbespielte DataPlay-Discs liefern sollen. Natuerlich wären diese wiederum kopiergeschützt. Auf eine Scheibe soll nach Angaben von Evolution rund zwei Stunden Videomaterial passen.

Der Preis des DataPlay-Videoplayers soll letztlich bei etwa 500 US-Dollar liegen, ebenso wie beim Audio-Player sei eine weltweite Einführung geplant. (nij/c`t) / (wst/c`t)

Hallo Leute,

bei Metro ist Wincor-Nixdorf der Lieferant. Siehe unten. Aber bei Rite Aid steht nichts weiter über die Applikation. Nur dass das System (kiosk) auf XP laufen soll. Vielleicht OBJX ?? Wer von euch kann hierzu weitere Infos geben ?

Rite Aid, Metro Cash & Carry Among First to Adopt Microsoft Windows XP Embedded for Next Generation of Retail Point-of-Sale Systems

NEW YORK, Jan. 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- In an important demonstration of industry support for Microsoft® Windows® XP Embedded as the platform for retail point of sale (POS), Microsoft Corp. (Nasdaq: MSFT - news) today announced at the National Retail Federation show that two leading retailers, Rite Aid Corp. and Metro Cash & Carry, are the newest enterprises to choose the recently launched technology platform to transform their retail store systems.

``We are extremely gratified to see the retail enterprise and software development communities recognizing the potential of Windows XP Embedded to revolutionize their in-store systems,`` said Gary Cooke, global industry manager, retail and hospitality at Microsoft. ``The retail industry urgently needs advanced operating system capabilities to accommodate the evolving challenges of customer interaction, store automation and multichannel commerce. Windows XP Embedded enables retailers to migrate to new technologies that will help them realize direct business benefits and gain an advantage in today`s hypercompetitive market.``

At Rite Aid, one of the country`s leading drugstore chains, Windows XP Embedded will be the foundation for the development of multipurpose store systems in 3,600 stores nationwide. This will include 28,000 POS devices, in-store electronic customer prescription applications, kiosks and other innovative technologies designed to enhance the customer experience and streamline business processes.

``We needed an operating system to be able to do many things across the store. Windows XP Embedded will help us to develop a consistent, integrated technology environment across all store platforms, from operating system to development environment to in-store devices, and to create and deploy new applications that will give us an advantage in our industry,`` said Don Davis, CIO of Rite Aid.

Metro Cash & Carry, the world`s leading wholesaler, will implement a single POS solution internationally across its outlets, using software developer Wincor Nixdorf`s Trading Post, the first commercial POS software built on Microsoft Windows XP Embedded. Metro and Wincor-Nixdorf GmbH & Co. have been co-developing pilot applications specific to Cash & Carry`s needs, including in-store and retail back-office software. Metro will begin its installations in Cash & Carry outlets in Spain as early as September 2002.

``The capabilities of Windows XP Embedded allowed us to fine-tune Trading Post to perfectly meet Metro`s requirements, including a modular design, high-integration capability and suitability for international use,`` said Achim Schlangenotto, manager of retail software and services at Wincor Nixdorf.

``Thanks to Trading Post`s component-based architecture, the plug-and-play methodology -- a well-known and highly valued feature in the hardware world -- can be ported across to this software. All together, these characteristics ensure Metro has high levels of investment protection and low operating costs,`` said Heinz Josef Boeck, CEO of METRO AG`s IT subsidiary MGI.

Microsoft Windows XP Embedded, which shipped in November 2001, marks the first time that key technologies required by the new generation of retail point-of-sale solutions have been incorporated into a single, complete embedded offering. Many retailers today are making plans to update their POS solutions and are looking for systems that provide much greater functionality, interoperability and flexibility.

Windows XP Embedded provides retailers with one of the most reliable, flexible and customizable POS solutions on the market, while allowing for full integration with legacy systems and existing hardware. Of particular importance for retailers is that, for retail POS devices, Windows XP Embedded separates the Windows XP operating system into components from which they can pick and choose according to their individual business needs, lowering the total cost of ownership and creating the smallest possible footprint for their POS systems.

Integrated into Windows XP Embedded is a complete collection of mission-critical technologies -- including USB support, dual-monitor display, multiuser login and, in a future release, remote boot and diskless operation -- that anticipate and address the unique demands of the retail environment.


-- USB support enables plug-and-play installation of peripheral devices
such as printers and scanners.
-- Dual-monitor display capability eliminates the need to write custom
software to enable deployment of monitors for both checkers and
customers at POS stations.
-- Multiuser login enables two or more store personnel to be logged in
simultaneously at a POS station -- allowing, for example, a clerk to
ring up a sale in another department, or a manager to override a
transaction while the clerk stays logged in.
-- Remote boot capability allows POS devices to be managed from a central
location and simplifies the deployment of software updates.
-- Diskless operation helps lower the total cost of ownership by
eliminating the need for hard drives -- which contain moving parts
prone to breakdown -- in POS terminals.
-- Small memory footprint means that because the Windows XP operating
system is organized into components, software developers and systems
integrators can build a POS platform using only the components
required. This allows for a POS platform configuration as small as
32 MB of RAM.

Hi,
Rick,

dein aktives Mitsuchen (-spekulieren) nach möglichen Fullplay Media Systems Inhalten macht mir Spaß. Oftmals sind in deinen Beiträgen heiße Kandidaten, News, Gedankenansätze für eine gute Information über unser Baby. Vielen Dank dafür.

Jetzt aber zu deiner Frage:
Also, wenn ich das so durchlese, beinhaltet diese News im wesentlichen eine Vereinheitlichung der Kassensoftware der Metro AG mit Trading Post von Wincor Nixdorf

Im September 2002 soll eine Pilotinstallation der Software, die auf Microsoft XP Embedded aufsetzt, in Cash & Carry Märkten des Metro Konzerns in Spanien durchgeführt werden.
Auf Grund der komponentenbasierten Architektur ist das aus dem Hardware-Bereich bekannte "Plug-and-Play" auf diese Software übertragbar. In der Summe sorgen diese Eigenschaften für hohen Investitionsschutz und geringe Betriebskosten.

Trading Post wurde im Mai 2000 erstmals bei den Adler Modemärkten eingesetzt und befindet sich weltweit über 550 Mal im Einsatz. Die Filialsoftware erfüllt bisher die Anforderungen der Segmente Textil und generelle Handelsware. Damit ist die Grundlage für eine Self-Service/Food-Lösung gelegt.

Na ja, leider kein Ansatz für Fullplay Media Systems!

Letter From the CEO and President of e.Digital
SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 16, 2002--This letter is a direct communication from the CEO and the President of e.Digital Corp. (OTC:EDIG - news).

Dear Shareholder:

As we begin 2002 we are pleased to update you about your company`s growing business and our plans and expectations for the new year.

CES

Our participation at the 2002 International Consumer Electronics (CES) last week was very successful. Our products, designs, and technology were featured in both our booth and technology suite and in those of our partners and licensees including Microsoft, Texas Instruments, Eclipse by Fujitsu Ten, Imation, Evolution, EASTECH, and others.

During the show we met with high-profile retailers to discuss terms of distribution of OEM branded and e.Digital-branded products into their retail stores. We also met with OEMs and licensees regarding the branding, bundling, and sale of a variety of e.Digital product designs. We expect to release news about retail availability of OEM-branded and e.Digital-branded products as well as further information about licensing and distribution throughout this quarter.

DataPlay

We were pleased to announce last week that the e.Digital reference design for a DataPlay-enabled digital music player would be incorporated into the Evolution MTV music player. The player was developed and designed by e.Digital, DataPlay, and Evolution and has been branded for distribution by MTV. This product was named one of CNET`s ``Top Products of CES 2002.``

DataPlay is expected to achieve market penetration into traditional CD markets, and has the potential to replace CDs as the preferred media for music content. Annual worldwide sales of CD players are in excess of 30 million units. Under our agreement with DataPlay, e.Digital will collect royalties on players using the e.Digital reference design.

Our design incorporates MicroOS(TM) 2.0 and supports secure content on DataPlay digital media. With three of the five major record labels scheduled to sell secure prerecorded content on DataPlay digital media, this is an important market-differentiating factor.

A variety of DataPlay-enabled products incorporating e.Digital`s technology were featured at CES and were well received. We are very focused on supporting the DataPlay rollout through a variety of OEMs starting later this quarter. We also have advanced DataPlay-enabled product designs scheduled to be launched under the e.Digital label this year.

Automotive Business

We were pleased to announce last week an automotive product developed and designed through our collaboration with Eclipse by Fujitsu Ten. The Eclipse by Fujitsu Ten automotive product (MP-3 Changer) introduced at CES represents the first automotive system incorporating e.Digital`s MicroOS and VoiceNav(TM) technologies. In addition to the design shown at the Eclipse by Fujitsu Ten booth, e.Digital demonstrated an advanced prototype of the product utilizing a beta version of its MicroOS 3.0 which enables music files to be remotely transferred from a PC to the player via 802.11 wireless protocol.

The Eclipse by Fujitsu Ten product is the first of several major opportunities for our technology to be included in next-generation automotive infotainment systems. Infotainment systems are part of the automotive telematics market, which is expected to be worth over $1.1 billion in 2002, and projected to grow 16-fold by 2006. (Telematics Research Group). There is significant interest among several automotive electronics manufacturers and suppliers in e.Digital`s digital data management and wireless infotainment solutions. Automotive infotainment and telematics applications are expected to generate substantial licensing, NRE fees, and royalties for your Company. Each OEM agreement may also include revenue for manufacturing services, warranty services, marketing, customer service, order fulfillment, and technical support services.

In the News

As a result of our participation at CES, e.Digital`s booth and personnel were featured in a segment airing repeatedly on TechTV regarding the future of digital media. Network World, PCWorld.com, TWICE.com, The Evening Standard (London), Tech Live, and CNET.com have published articles on e.Digital and/or our products, and we expect further articles and additional exposure in the media resulting from our showing at CES.

Company News

We are pleased to announce that Chief Operating Officer Jim Collier has been promoted to President and has been appointed to the Company`s Board of Directors, increasing the total number of Board members to seven. Chief Financial Officer Ran Furman has been named Corporate Secretary and Treasurer. Alfred H. Falk remains Chief Executive Officer.

Since Mr. Collier joined the Company last May, he has led initiatives to develop, manufacture, and sell e.Digital-branded and OEM-branded products. His leadership has been important to the successful execution of our business plans and the strategic direction of the Company. Mr. Collier will continue to focus on the development and execution of the company`s strategic direction. Mr. Falk will focus on the continued development of strategic business relationships for the Company. We are pleased to address you together in this letter.

Revenue for the quarter ended December 31, 2001 will show substantial improvement over revenues for the same period last year. Our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2001, is scheduled to be completed and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission before February 15.

We expect revenue from licensing, engineering, and royalty fees to continue to increase with expanded distribution of our own branded products as well as OEM-branded products, some of which are scheduled to come to market this quarter. We look forward to providing revenue guidance later this year as more e.Digital-branded and OEM-branded products are successfully launched to market.

We continue investing in our future through the development of MicroOS 3.0, Music Explorer(TM) 2.0, and VoiceNav as they relate to portable devices, automotive systems, and embedded systems and products. We continue selling and supporting products integrating flash memory, miniature hard disk drives, and Microdrives with our patented technology, and we are pleased to have our technology incorporated by select OEMs into automotive products and DataPlay-enabled designs, with more expected this year.

Retailers had better-than-anticipated holiday sales of all types of MP3 players in 2001 and saw strong and growing consumer interest in these products. Our MicroOS technology, VoiceNav, and our branded products offer unique features and functionality that set e.Digital apart. VoiceNav is proving increasingly popular, providing valuable differentiation in portable devices, and convenience and safety in automotive infotainment solutions. We look forward with you to an exciting 2002 for your Company and the growing industries in which we are involved.

Sincerely yours,


Alfred H. Falk

Jim Collier

Hallo Leute,
der Tag heute ist ein herber Rückschlag für FPLY. Ich habe keine Erklärung dafür. Charttechnisch ist das nicht gut, wenn der Kurs jetzt noch unter 1$ fällt ist nach unten wieder alles möglich. Also, wer kann sich dieses Absacken erklären, zumal es nach der Messe nur abwärts geht? Techroad, hast Du vielleicht eine Meinung dazu?
gruss an alle

[TheCooleWickerl]

servus sarrefranz,

coole bleiben, die gehen schon bald wieder up
- bad news?: hip zip wird nicht mehr produziert
- zocker
- mm
- ?

na, i gib nix her!

[Techroad]

Hallo zusammen!

Für den Kursrückgang gib es eine ganz einfache Erklärung:

MMM = Market Maker Manipulation

Techroad

[Fargate]

Das dies nur auf die MMM zurückzuführen ist kann ich mir nicht vorstellen.Hier muß noch was anderes faul sein in der Firma.
Einen teil sollte man vorsichtshalber lieber geben.
Wenn die Zahlen erst im März kommen sollen finde ich dies auch viel zu spät.
Ein erliches Unternehmen bei diesen wenigen Umsatz kann
doch wohl die Zahlen spätestens 3 Wochen nach Quartalende
bringen.
Das sollte mal zu denken geben.

nur keine Sorge, Technroad hat Recht (IMO)

Fargate = Mock ?

[Brummbär]

Das hatten wir doch schon mal, merke es dir bitte jetzt: Die Abschlusszahlen kommen immer am 30.März 2002!!
Was soll das dumme Geschwätz von dir??

[Rickgoody]

Tja, ich schätze auch, dass Fargate und Mock die gleichen sind. Ist euch schon aufgefallen: Fargate und Mock haben beide mit der deutschen Rechtschreibung Probleme, oder sie kämpfen mit der Tastatur.....

Mal was ganz anderes:
Wer von euch kann mir eine günstige Quelle nennen: ich brauche neue Pocketzips für meinen Hipzip.

Danke schonmal.
Rick

[Fargate]

Ich hab da noch mal nachgeschaut. Die letzten Zahlen kamen am 14.11.01 3 Quartal mit 1.050 $ Umsatz und Minus 0,01
pro Aktie Verlust.
Nun sollen die Zahlen erst am 30.3. also nochmals 6 Wochen später kommen ??
Die Quartalzahlen aus dem 4 Quartal könnten ja da wohl auch
Anfang Februar kommen, oder ?
Den Jahresabschluß kann amn nachschiessen.
Nun schaut euch mal die Aktien Fundamental an.
MACD,Stochstic,Histogramm alles geht steil abwärts.

Die nächsten Unterstützungen liegen erst wieder im Bereich
von 0,80 danach 0,50 $.
Hoffe zwar selber das es so nicht kommen wird, aber alles
ist möglich.
Ich werde heute die hälfte erst mal geben.

[Techroad]

Hi Mock(Fargate)

Du bist wirklich zu blöde es zu verstehen. Die Zahlen des vierten Quartals werden immer erst gegen Ende März bekannt gegeben. Der Grund ist ganz einfach. Neben den Quartalszahlen muss das Unternehmen ebenfalls die Zahlen für das ganze Jahre bereit stellen. Diese Arbeit dauert bei jedem Unternehmen etwas länger.

Bitte verschone uns mit Deinen dummen Kommentaren.

Techroad

[Fargate]

Bin bei 1,05 raus. Die letzten 800 Stück halte ich mal erst.
Werde bei 0,80 mal die erste Rückkauforder reinlegen.

Wenn der Jahresabschluss etwas länger Dauern sollte
kann - aber muss nicht jeder verstehen.
Trotzdem meine ich das die Quartalzahlen wie bei anderen
Unternehmen auch spätestens nach 4 -5 Wochen kommen sollten.

Beispiele am NM gibt es da ja auch genüge wo die Zahlen immer später kamen - und am Ende ?? Metabox,Em TV usw.

[Fargate]

In Berlin heute Minus 17,3 % runter.
Im Dezember wurde ja reichlich in Frankfurt und Berlin
gekauft.
Wenn die nun auch noch alle kalte Füße kriegen sehe ich
schwarz.
Am BB sieht man heute wieder schübe wo Verkauft wird.
Ich nehme an das um 21.30 Uhr der nächste Schub ansetzen wird und heute unter 1 $ erst Schluß ist.

Wer kann das erklären das schon wieder innerhalb von 4 Wochen die Aktie 50 % verloren hat.

[Techroad]

Mock-Fargate!

Du bist der Einzige der es nicht versteht. Die amerikanische Börsenkommission hat ganz genaue Richtlinien bis wann ein Unternehmen die Quartals -bzw. Jahreszahlen präsentieren muss. FPLY unterliegt diesen Richtlinien. Full Play hat in den letzten Jahren immer Ende März die Zahlen für das vorangegangene Jahr bekannt gegeben.

Bei Full Play ist alles in bester Ordnung. Das Unternehmen war noch nie in einem besseren Zustand. Das Jahr 2002 wird ein hervorragendes Geschäftsjahr werden.

Ich bitte Dich nochmals uns mit Deinen absolut dummen und fundamental nicht erklärbaren Bemerkungen zu verschonen.

mock, bitte, bitte verkaufe deine paar scheinchen und
schleich dich vom acker. verschone meine nerven.
so ein dumm-schrott-dukatenkacker kann keiner auf dauer ertragen.

[Fargate]

Ich verstehe euch nicht wie so sollich ein Dukatenkacker sein ?
Ihr verfolgt doch die Aktie wie ich das sehe fast stündlich.
Das fällt doch jedem doofen auf das es in schüben nach unten
geht seit ein paar Tagen.
Genau wie heute in 3 Etappen. Und zum Schluß bis 0,92 $

Jetzt frage ich euch war es ein Fehler vonmir heute bei
1,05 die hälfte zu verkaufen ?
Sicher im nachhinein ist man immer schlauer.
Aber wenn alle Indizien nach unten zeigen und der ein oder
andere wird genau so handeln kann man das keinem Verübeln.
Wenn das so ein bomben Jahr für Full Play geben soll wie
einige fest überzeugt sind dann sind dies doch für euch Kurse wo Ihr langsam Anfangen müst zu Jubeln.
Demnach steht doch die Aktie in 12 Monaten bei 15 $ oder ?
Den rest den ich halte müste nun schon bis 0,30 $ runtergehen erst dann liege ich im Verlust.
Bei 0,80 lege ich aber wieder nach.
Zum Glück ist Montag in den USA Geschlossen !!
Oder Nachbörslich kommt noch eine Meldung von Full Play
das Ihr wieder ruhig schlafen könnt.

Trotz dem wünsche ich allen ein schönes Wochenende.

Brummbär hat eine neue Seite unter FPLY aufgemacht.
Hier kann ein jeder nochmal die Entwicklungen und Produkte
sowie Partner sich anschauen.
Ein Interview mit dem Ceo von Kathy ist auch reingestellt.
Blos blöd das ausgerechnet danach am 18. der Kurs in die Knie geht.
Glaubt Ihm keiner die Aussichten ?
Laut Brummbär soll das 4 Quartal und das 1 Quartal ein
bommben Geschäft sein.
Leider werden wir hier den ersten Akt erst Ende März also
in 9 Wochen sehen. Ob da schon mit Gewinn gearbeitet wird ?

[Fargate]

Heute kann FPLY erstmal in den USA Luft holen.
Leider in Deutschland heute Minus 15 % !
Wo wird in Deutschland die Schmerzgrenze sein ?
Viele sind hier erst bei 1,20 - 1,60 eingestiegen.
Behalten diese die nerven oder verkaufen diese auch erst
mal wieder wenn es morgen in den USA noch weiter bergabe gehen sollte ?

[Techroad]

Passt auf wenn Mock-Fargate seine Position bei $1.05 wieder zurückkauft! :-)))

Hi Fargate/Mock

Ich bin etwas verwirrt. Kannst Du uns ein Update über Deine fundamentale Einschätzung geben?

Ich kann Dir nur eine Empfehlung machen. Vergiss die kurzfristige Kursentwicklung. Du wirst solche Kursbewegungen nie verstehen können. Es gibt zuviele Einflussfaktoren die überhaupt nichts mit dem Geschäftsgang bei Full Play zu tun haben.

Ich verstehe das nicht, was Fargate hier macht und welche Absichten er hat.

In diesem Board sind vielleicht 5 oder 6 Leute aktiv und die Umsätze bei FPLY sind sowohl in den USA als auch hier in Deutschland eher gering.

Das Bashen von FPLY macht also wenig Sinn und hat einen sehr geringen Effekt. Aber vielleicht will er ja auch nur dieses Board kaputtreden.
-------------------------------------

Hier jedoch zwei Fragen an die, die sich ernsthaft mit FPLY beschäftigen:

- Gibt es irgendwelche Berichte über die Qualität und die Wettbewerbsfähigkeit der von FPLY entwickelten Systeme?
- wann sind Lizensierungen der Produkte zu erwarten? Hat jemand eine Meinung dazu?

Ich für meinen Teil erwarte schon irgendwann positive News mit Auswirkung auf die Einkommenssituation von FPLY und entsprechende Kursbewegungen. Das kann ja nicht sein, dass FPLY Systeme entwickelt, die total an der Nachfrage vorbeigehen. Würde mich jedenfalls sehr wundern.

Grüsse und Dank an alle, die uns hier mit fundierten Informationen und Meinungen versorgen.

Hi,
Hermann,

zu deiner 1. Frage "Qualität/Wettbewerbsfähigkeit":

Ausgezeichnet: Iomega Zip(R) 250 USB und HipZip(TM)verbinden Funktionalität mit Design

Genf / Schweiz (ots) -

Wenn es um das Sichern von Computerdaten geht, dann sollten die Laufwerke von Iomega auf keinem PC-Arbeitsplatz ob im Büro oder zuhause fehlen. Die jüngste iF Design-Auszeichnung macht darüber hinaus noch einen weiteren Pluspunkt für Iomega deutlich: Die Iomega Laufwerke sind nicht nur praktisch, sondern auch schön - das befand am Wochenende die Experten-Jury in Hannover.

Die Zeiten, in denen Computer-Zubehör im langweiligen Einheitsgrau produziert wurden, sind spätestens seit dem iMac passé. Mittlerweile wissen die Hersteller, dass zu einer flotten Technik auch ein entsprechendes Outfit gehört. Und das wird inzwischen auch von der Design-Fachwelt honoriert, wie beispielsweise von dem Industrie Design Forum in Hannover. Gleich in zwei Kategorien holte sich Iomega International S.A., europäische Hauptniederlassung der Iomega Corporation (NYSE: IOM), am Wochenende einen der begehrten iF Product Design Awards 2001: In der Sparte "Kommunikation" darf das Zip(R) 250MB USB Wechselspeicherlaufwerk ab sofort das begehrte iF Logo
tragen, das für Produkte bürgt, die neben Funktionalität auch ein außergewöhnliches Design aufweisen. In der Kategorie "Unterhaltungselektronik" überzeugte der kürzlich eingeführte digitale Audioplayer HipZipTM die Jury vom Industrie Design Forum Hannover.

Das Zip(R) 250MB USB Wechselspeicherlaufwerk ist ein kleiner Datensafe für wichtige PC-Daten im Büro oder
Zuhause. Eine Zip-Disk fasst mit 250 MB Volumen jede Menge Dokumente, Finanzdateien, Präsentationen, elektronische Bilder oder sogar Audio-Files. Auf diesem Weg können die Daten bequem zwischen PCs ausgetauscht werden - oder einfach nur in Form einer Sicherheitskopie vor Datenverlust schützen. Wertvolle Dienste leistet das Laufwerk nicht nur in puncto Datenmobilität und -sicherheit: der stromlinienförmige, moderne iMac-Look fügt sich funktional und platzsparend in jedes Büro- oder Home-Office-Ambiente. Der Preis im Fachhandel: DM 429,- inkl. MwSt.

Der neue HipZip(TM) ist ein formschöner, handtellergroßer Audio-Player. Er gibt Musik im MS Media Format und MP3-Files wieder, die aus dem Internet heruntergeladen oder von CD überspielt wurde. Die herausnehmbaren PocketZip(TM) 40 MB Disks können jeweils 70 Minuten digitaler Musik speichern. Er hat einfache, intuitive Bedienungselemente, die auf Menüs im rückbeleuchteten Display erscheinen. Auch unterwegs leistet der kleine Player wertvolle Dienste - sowohl in der Freizeit als auch auf Geschäftsreise: Er ist erschütterungs-resistent und bietet auch beim Joggen noch einwandfreies Musikvergnügen. Auf Reisen können mit Hilfe der HipZip(tm)PocketZip(TM) Disks auch große PC Files transportiert und gesichert werden. Der Preis im Fachhandel: DM 899,- inkl. MwSt.

Das Industrie Design Forum Hannover, bekannt unter der Kurzform iF, ist international eine der Top-Adressen für industrielles Design. Ziel des iF: Pflege und Fortschritt in puncto Industrie-Design. Dafür zeichnet alljährlich eine international hochkarätige Jury im Rahmen der iF-Wettbewerbe Produkte von Unternehmen aus, die durch ihr
funktionales und richtungsweisendes Design auf sich aufmerksam machen.

Schlechte Woche mal wieder für Full Play. Umsätze fast
keine, auch hier nur einige hundert gehandelt.
Warten alle auf Zahlen ?
Das wird noch Dauern und Neuigkeiten kommen auch zur Zeit keine mehr.
