In correct. The new chipsets will be considerably less expensive than the
existing ones. See press releases on iBiquity website.

Not according to Samsung. They predict that the chipsets will be very
expensive indeed.

Samsung developing new chipset for HD Radio
Thursday, May 10, 2007 at 9:49 AM

Samsung said they will introduce a new low-power, low-cost chipset for HD
Radio receivers. These new chipsets will be an important step in the
development of portable HD Radios.


Samsung figures that samples of the chipset will be available before the end
of the 2007 - and production anticipated for the first quarter of 2008.

The low-power, high-performance chip will be capable of supporting all
current and planned HD Radio technology features. It is being designed and
manufactured using advanced technology and features a System-in-Package
(SIP) module and a CMOS, mixed-signal single-chip tuner.

Target HD Radio applications include: mobile phones, portable media players,
portable navigation devices, table radios and home audio-video components.

If HD Radio is able to integrate into mobile phones and portable media
players before satellite radio does, then we have no one to blame but
ourselves.
