LAS VEGAS, Jan 7, 2000 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Company Joins New Secure
Digital (SD) Association
Formed by Matsushita, Toshiba, and SanDisk e.Digital Corp.
(OTCBB:EDIG) announced today that its portable Internet music player
design will be one of the first to feature compatibility with the new,
Secure Digital (SD) Memory Card announced in August 1999 by SanDisk,
Toshiba, and Matsushita, best known by its Panasonic brand name.
e.Digital is also an inaugural member of the newly-formed SD
Association announced during a Matsushita/Toshiba/SanDisk press
conference yesterday at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2000.
Fred Falk, president and chief executive officer of e.Digital, said,
"We are happy to be part of the newly-formed SD Association, as one of
its stated goals is to provide improved protection for copyrighted
content, including but not limited to music files. The SD Memory Card
is another valuable tool we can use in our endeavors to offer our OEM
customers designs that will support SDMI standards for secure Internet
music." He added, "For years we have built compatibility into our
designs for SanDisk memory products, which have become the de facto
standard for portable devices."
Nelson Chan, senior vice president of marketing for SanDisk added, "We
are very proud of the SD Memory Card, especially its security features
which are becoming more and more important to our customers. Digital
security is being pursued on many levels, and the SD Memory Card is
there to support these efforts in portable devices of all kinds." He
continued, "We are pleased to have e.Digital join the SD Association as
an inaugural member, as they are one of the first to incorporate
compatibility for SD Memory into a portable product design."
e.Digital's portable multi-codec Internet music player design is
available for licensing by consumer electronics manufacturers and other
OEM partners. The flexible design can be adapted to customer
specifications and includes support for multiple music codecs,
removable memory, and security features. The design is SDMI compatible.
