Not according to Samsung. They predict that the chipsets will be very

Samsung developing new chipset for HD Radio
Thursday, May 10, 2007 at 9:49 AM

Samsung said they will introduce a new low-power, low-cost chipset for HD
Radio receivers. These new chipsets will be an important step in the
development of portable HD Radios.


Samsung figures that samples of the chipset will be available before the end
of the 2007 - and production anticipated for the first quarter of 2008.

The low-power, high-performance chip will be capable of supporting all
current and planned HD Radio technology features. It is being designed and
manufactured using advanced technology and features a System-in-Package
(SIP) module and a CMOS, mixed-signal single-chip tuner.

Target HD Radio applications include: mobile phones, portable media players,
portable navigation devices, table radios and home audio-video components.

If HD Radio is able to integrate into mobile phones and portable media
players before satellite radio does, then we have no one to blame but
ourselves.

Samsung's words, not mine. You're just playing some kind of joke on
us, right?

Every article I could find mentioned that the chips would be low in energy
consumption and in price. I found nothing referring to higher prices than
existing chipset costs.

I looked around on on the Samsung web site and the only reference I
could find is the original announcement #172.

There is no information on engineering samples of this module. Not a
good sign for its development. There should be at least a projection of
samples by now according to the news release. Looks like more vaporware
to me.

Looks like Eduardo will be pulling that diehard battery cart so far.

SiPort was also shilling for a low-power HD chipset, but no word
anymore from them - must have given up.

It will definitely be expensive in the beginning. The only way it will
not be expensive in time is for that chip to become a commodity with a
very large volume.
