FM HD in its current form will likely survive it's unlikely AM HD will fail.

     Alright then the amount of time the radio plays. That comment 
     didn't quite fit in with semiconductor chip sets. 
 
     So can you point me to a HD portable that runs off batteries? 
     Far as I can see there are none. 
 
    Your reading comprehension really bites, doesn't it? I have said 
    multiple times that there will be a minimum of two and as many 
    as 4 low power consumption HD chips shipping in Q1 of 2008; 
    these will enable portables and boom boxes of all sizes and we 
    should see the first in Q2 or Q3 of 2008. 
 
    Nothing wrong with my reading comprehension since I did not read 
    those posts bozo. The posts I read spoke of portables back in 
    2006. 
 
   Nobody with any actual knowledge thought there would be portables 
   in 2006. 
 
  Not true. The availability of portables was predicted well before 
  2006. 
 
  Snip  
 
 That's correct. The marketing bozos don't realize that HD, DRM or other 
 digital modes will require a constant processing load in order for the 
 receiver to function. This means there will be a constant demand for 
 power from the batteries. One way that semiconductors can save power is 
 by shutting down circuits from switching when they are not needed but 
 that can't happen here. 
 
 I don't expect someone like Eduardo to understand the technical details 
 of the hurtles that need to be overcome for HD portable development. 
 
 I expect Eduardo to have the first HD portable though. This portable 
 will be held in one hand and his other hand will be used to pull the 
 small cart with a diehard car battery to power it walking the streets of 
 LA.

How's Eduardo ever going to hold the required AM-loop and FM-dipole 
antennas?
