Who's building them into receivers now? *Coby? Give me a break. *Sony?
They can't sell what they’ve already made and have a history of making
products with technology nobody wants. *Who Eduardo? *Why doesn't the

likes to make "forward looking" announcements and exagerates anything

low power HD radio receivers?

Samsung is the biggest name that I saw. Of course, the largest consumer
electronics company in the world is meaningless to you.

"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). But Samsung engineers at CES say a second-generation
chipset due in 2009 will be about 40 percent more power efficient and
then a third-generation chipset due about a year later will use even
less energy."

Samsung's HD chipset has only 2 hours of batery life - LOL! Of course,
no announcement about this vaporwear chipset in any HD Radio products.
