"Samsung Announces General Availability of HD Radio(TM) Module
Solution"
"Samsung's advantages are that we have our own chipset solution, a low-
power, high-performance baseband chip (SHDR 200A) which is based on
based on iBiquity's Cayman core, and a companion, cost-effective, low
power, RF front end chip (the SHDR 100A)," said S. G. Hong, Senior
Vice President, Samsung Electro-Mechanics. What is more, Samsung has
comprehensive field and design experience with dozens of Japan and US
basedCustomers, he added."

BUT:
"HD Radio"
"Until now, portable HD Radio receivers have been unavailable because
the chipsets needed by this technology required too much power to be
practical for a battery-operated device. However, in January 2008 at
the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas iBiquity unveiled a
prototype of a new iPod-sized portable receiver. It is based on a new
chipset developed by Samsung. Although portable, it is still a
relatively power-hungry device (it will run on an average set of
alkaline batteries in about two hours, according to an iBiquity
engineer)."

There were a rash of articles today, as usual, touting the new Samsung
"low-power" chipsets, so it appears to be yet another iBiquity lie.
Geeezzz, Bob!
