digEcor™ and eFlyte Sign Letter of Intent to Provide Games on digEplayer XT™ For Portable In-flight Entertainment
SPRINGVILLE, Utah - April 4, 2006 - digEcor™ announced today that it has signed a Letter of Intent with eFlyte to offer customers eFlyte games on its new digEplayer XT portable IFE player.
The world's first self-contained, portable video on demand (VOD) entertainment unit pre-programmed with movies, television shows, cartoons, videos and music, as well as airline destination information, promotions and advertising. The unit will now come pre-programmed with selected games - some at no charge to the airlines and other more complex games at a small charge. "We are delighted that eFlyte has chosen to team with digEcor to make games part of the entertainment package available on the digEplayer XT," said Brent Wood, CEO of digEcor. "The cutting-edge design, ease of use and wide variety of entertainment choices on the digEplayer XT will make the passenger's flying experience better than ever. The games that our new platform can handle are far more challenging than the simple games currently found on other players." In addition to regular games, the digEplayer XT will support gaming offered by eFlyte, the terms of which will be negotiated between eFlyte and the airlines. DigEcor will not participate in gaming revenues generated by use of the eFlyte gaming programs. "Over 26 airlines have chosen the digEplayer model 5500," added Mr. Wood. Several airlines are ready to announce their selection of the digEplayer XT soon. While the new digEplayer XT has an 8-inch screen, is thinner and lighter, has a more powerful battery, and a larger hard drive than the 5500 model - its costs will still be very competitive.
