Gee, what a thing to hang your hopes on


90% savings in power eliminates the only obstacle to portable HD devices,
and the integrated chip makes very small HD devices practical.


90% savings over the power hogs that have been the table top HD radios
so far means that the HD portable will still suck more power than a
similar analog radio.


But less than an iPod, which is the benchmark here.
