What is the specific timeline for the SDMI specification?
SDMI has two target dates. The first addresses the immediate market demand for portable devices in order that they may be manufactured in time for the holiday season. SDMI completed the first specification on June 30, 1999 and published it on July 13, 1999 after a final editorial review. The long-term specification, which will address the entire delivery chain, is targeted for initial public review in the second quarter of 2000.
