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.

d'Eduardo,

A Key New/Expanding High Technology Marketing Concept :
Always Selling-Up at No Extra Cost :
* For Businesses the Continued Process of Up-Grading
your Technology to Stay Competitive and In-the-Game.
* For Individual Consumers : Having All the Latest Bells
and Whistles -aka- Staying Ahead of the Want-to-Bees.

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

David - That Is Very True ~ RHF

A Key Metric for Many is : Power Usage = Operating Time.

When they can make a Moto RAZR size "DooDad" that is
Truly an All-in-One Device and will run/play for a full 24 Hours
{All-Day} on a single charge : Then they will have an All-Day
Every-Day portable device that many/most Consumers will
think/know they : Got-To-Have-It { I Want/Need It Now ! }
