SPRINGVILLE, Utah February 17, 2010 – Hawaiian Airlines signed a new four year contract extension with leading handheld inflight entertainment provider digEcor, Inc. Since 2004, Hawaiian passengers have enjoyed the digEplayer 5500. Starting in the next few months, passengers will be able to rent the digEplayer XLP.

digEcor’s President Brad Heckel commented, “The implementation of the digEplayer XLP is the first step in a longer term strategic partnership between Hawaiian and digEcor. We are dedicated to providing our clients with a robust IFE solution including flexible hardware, low cost content, and revenue generative programs. These customer benefits are a result of the continuous improvement programs, such as Lean Manufacturing and Software Development, that we have implemented.”

The first phase of the new agreement includes the replacement of approximately half of Hawaiian’s current digEplayer 5500 inventory, with the remaining stock being replaced in phase two. Also, the digEplayer XLPs will be initially offered on longer, premium routes.

Fully committed to revenue sponsored entertainment, the agreement also includes provisions to implement new revenue generative programs such as shopping and advertising. “Hawaiian has one of the most impressive and well oiled IFE rental programs that we have seen in the industry. Currently, the revenue just from the rental program makes the digEplayer program one of the best ancillary revenue programs that Hawaiian has inflight. The addition of our new programs will further increase the profitability of the program for Hawaiian.”

Content Administrator Jed Thompson noted, “Our close relationship with the studios allows us to pass content cost savings to Hawaiian and our other customers.” Hawaiian’s Vice President Louis Saint-Cyr added, “The wide range of inflight content choices that we are able to provide our customers through our digEplayer program is one of the great reasons our customers love our IFE program.”

“With the downturn in the marketplace, we have taken the opportunity to engineer new product offerings and build flexible content applications focused on the financial and logistical needs of our customers and the airline industry,” observed Heckel.

One of the bigger surprises at this year’s WAEA Conference in Palm Springs was the alliance between digEcor and Shanghai Lefeel Media Technology Co., Ltd. The result of this collaboration is a series of new handheld product offerings: 7” and 10” touch screen entertainment units and new services to go along with them. Boasting up to 20 hours of battery life the players should see service introduction in 2010. The contractual partnership between digEcor and Lefeel also includes a curser-driven, new-player development project. A curser-based unit has been a concept that Brent Wood of digEcor has envisioned for a number of years now. digEcor and Lefeel have also partnered with other entities in the development of these new products. “We have made the process of consulting with airlines, flight attendants, and passengers alike a high priority in our product development. We appreciate the help of our airline partners that provided valuable feedback during various steps,” said digEcor President Brad Heckel.

On the services front, digEcor plans to make inflight shopping a reality on a major carrier in December. They noted that the ancillary revenue to be gained from purchases is very important to their airline partners. Furthermore, a banner-type advertising service will be implemented, as well as, gaming and gambling applications, similar to what is available on the Internet today. Not solely focused on the aircraft, the digEcor people have hinted at developing other ground-based airline applications.

A surprise announcement also included the unveiling of a new PMA-based service from digEcor. The company has garnered FAA approval to offer PMA repair for other IFE vendor hardware. We think this might be a first in our industry!

From our perspective this is a new marketing posture from digEcor, not only are they expanding their service base but they are branching out to include higher value, new technology products and applications and in the process are developing new markets for their services. The IFExpress team came away from the WAEA feeling that we saw a new and evolving digEcor.

Over the past year, we’ve reported several times about digEcor and product prototypes and enhancements. Well, all of their hard work and time has come to fruition again as digEcor announced last week the release of the digEplayer XLP, the third generation digEplayer (a comparison of the players can be found on their website). With an increased battery life at a record setting 16 hours, the XLP is designed to provide airlines with longer flight segments an affordable, lightweight, and flexible IFE platform.

We caught up with President Brad Heckel and asked him a couple of questions. When asked what airlines could expect with this player besides the battery life, Heckel responded, “The XT has had one of the brightest and sharpest screens in the industry. After considerable research and testing, we found that we could increase the brilliancy of the screen even further by upgrading to an LED backlit screen. As an added benefit, the screen is lighter and more power efficient. When we field tested the screens, both flight attendants and passengers gave rave reviews.” So what are your clients and airlines telling you about the player, we asked? “We’ve had very strong interest in the XLP from a number of airlines spanning about every continent and we expect to see some deals close in the near future.” “The XLP has a number of similar features to the digEplayer XT,” he added, “which include the credit card swipe, exterior battery indicator, dual audio jacks, and Power over Ethernet content loading. We did however add an external DC jack for powering without a battery.”

We also got the inside scoop on some further developments at the Utah-based, portable IFE manufacturer. Expanding its wide variety of available content, digEcor now offers current documentaries from well-known news source CNN. We were impressed with acclaimed documentary offerings such as “Revealed” depicting the personal lives of some of the world’s greatest thinkers, champions, and leaders, which have been flying on seven of digEcor’s customers since May of this year. Content already available through digEcor includes Sony, Buena Vista, Warner Brothers, Fox, Universal, and a host of Independent and Regional suppliers. “Our IFE business is divided into two segments. One is the award winning hardware and the second is desirable, high-quality content. We have teams devoted to continuously enhancing and improving both of those offerings. Our content team works hand-in-hand with studios and distributors worldwide to procure airline requested content direct and reduce the cost by encoding in-house,” remarked Heckel. With a new portable offering that reaches the long haul airline demographic and increased content options, the next few months should prove to be very exciting for the portable pioneer as the industry prepares for the WAEA show in October. For more information on the digEplayer XLP, you can visit digEcor’s website. (Ed. Note: Readers, you should note that this new portable player product seems to be designed perfectly for the so-called, “imbedded IFE” system.)

SPRINGVILLE, Utah July 1, 2009 – Addressing a growing need to support longer flight segments, handheld market leader digEcor announced the release of a new product today. After months of development, testing, and implementing feedback from airlines, the digEplayer XLP is now available to airlines worldwide. The “XLP” stands for “Extra Long Play.”

“Our development team has long sought to address the increasing desire for a player with an extended battery life. We took this opportunity to not only provide a device with 16 hours of continuous video playback, but also added several other features to enhance the overall user experience,” commented President Brad Heckel.

The screen has been upgraded to an LED backlit screen which increases the brilliancy of movies, yet is lighter and more power efficient. Lead engineer Glade Hulet added, “Every aspect of the digEplayer has been optimized for the in-flight experience. Meaning, passengers and flight attendants are using a device that has them in mind in every detail.”

Building on the architecture of the digEplayer XT, the digEplayer XLP sports a similar case design; however, it has been modified to fit the more powerful battery. The unit comes in a sleek black case and provides space for corporate branding on the shell. “One of our more popular features is the external battery status indicator which greatly simplifies a flight attendant’s job. The unit also supports in-seat powering via a DC jack and Power over Ethernet content loading,” commented Hulet.

The unit can support 100s of hours of movies, TV shows, music, music videos, and games. Further, the new LED backlit screen is twice as bright as other products in the market. After testing the screens inflight for several months, a flight attendant wrote, “They are such an improvement with regards to the clarity of the screen and menus. Please pass along my appreciation.”

Heckel concluded, “We are excited to add a new product to our family of handheld devices, especially one that addresses an important need in the industry. Keep watching in the coming months for even more exciting releases.”

SAN DIEGO, CA, – March 16, 2009 – e.Digital Corporation (OTC: EDIG), a leading technology innovator of dedicated portable entertainment systems and patented flash memory-related technology, today summarized recent court action related to business litigation between the Company and digEcor, Inc.

On March 13, 2009 the U.S. District Court for the District of Utah issued a partial ruling on the parties’ Cross-Motions for Summary Judgment. As part of the ruling, the Court granted summary judgment in favor of e.Digital on digEcor’s claim that e.Digital was in breach of non-competition obligations in an agreement between the parties. Concerning the alleged non-compete provisions, the Court held “that California law applies to the 2002 NDA. Further, the court holds that Paragraphs 1, 4, 5 and 6 of 2002 NDA are invalid under California law because they refrain e.Digital from lawfully competing with digEcor.” This holding vindicates e.Digital’s longstanding position that it is free to conduct its lawful business without non-compete restraint or obligation to digEcor.

The Court also concluded that e.Digital failed to deliver certain batteries to digEcor, a claim that the Company has never denied. e.Digital has maintained an accrual of $80,000 for such estimated obligation as more fully discussed in the notes to its annual and interim financial statements. The Court further ruled that e.Digital did not breach a certain performance provision of the 2002 contract between the parties and that digEcor was not obligated to negotiate a revenue sharing arrangement under the same agreement. The Court did not grant summary judgment to either side on the issue of the timeliness of the 2006 delivery of video players. This and other matters related to the parties’ motions, as more fully described in the Company’s regulatory filings, remain to be resolved by future court rulings or at trial.

While decisions of the Court may be subject to appeal, e.Digital is pleased with the Court’s ruling finding the non-compete provisions of the 2002 NDA unenforceable as a matter of law. e.Digital will continue to offer its proprietary portable eVU™ entertainment system to the IFE and other industries.

The bottom line is… we will keep this issue short because the story is still developing. This past week, Utah courts delivered a ruling on the Digecor vs. eDigital lawsuit which is far more complicated than it appears on the surface and deserves more space than we can devote to it here, therefore, we will provide links to dig deeper – you can Google the rest.

The eDigital V.S. Digecor court battle has an initial ruling and the summary resulting Court Ruling. While we have not had time to dig deep on this subject we wanted our readers to get the story first. Among the findings were issues that pertained to judicial jurisdiction and a NDA decision that purportedly prevented eDigital from selling in the IFE arena. The eDigital news release came in from Robert Putnam, Sr. VP who told us, “Attached, please find today’s press release regarding recent court action in the e.Digital/digEcor business litigation that vindicates e.Digital’s longstanding position that it is free to conduct its lawful business without non-compete restraint or obligation to digEcor.” 

Obviously, there were sales in the balance here and based on eDigital’s past views and the court outcome; they will take a more aggressive posture on sales and promotion in the future. Further, we believe eDigital has a few new products that are itching to see the light of day. 

We asked Digecor for a statement and they said; “Digecor will be issuing a position statement in response to the recent court decision between Digecor and eDigital in the forthcoming week. We note that this case is not decided on some claims and it would be improper to comment until the rulings are completed. ” Look forward to their side of this developing story – coming soon.

There you have it, and as an old newspaper feature writer once told us, “There must be a story in they’re somewhere… but if there isn’t, there should be one!”
