A New Prototype Chip Provides Hope That Portable HD Radio Receivers
Will
Be
on Store Shelves Soon

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.


Maybe it is your bench mark. Most people will compare it to an analog
radio.


Actually, in the real world, they won't. The standard for battery life is
determined by the iPod among today's consumers.


If a HD portable radio is supposed to replace an analog radio why would
you compare it to an Ipod?
