Eddie - You sound like one of those detached radio general managers I
talked to a few days back. Full of BS but no clue about reality. You
need help and I think I can help you with your fixation on the success
of HD radio but you need to accept that you have a problem. That is
the first step.
Now are you ready to be helped?
Yeah, and the help is coming from Samsung and the other fabs that are
releasing 9 mm form factor low power consumption chips for delivery
sometime
in Q2 of this year. This will permit portable HD devices, integration of
HD
into MP3 players and phones, etc.

And... I am not a general manager, although I have been one in the past;
I
work with listeners to find their needs and feelings regarding radio.

Eddie - You're still in denial. When it raises the prices up another
$100.00 for an MP3 player consumers will wisely pass that option up.
No demand....no HD. It really is that simple.


Actually, the idea is to add more features to a player, phone or other
device at the same price.



What is the current drain of your new doodad? That is the important spec.
