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.

9 mm is the package. It means 9 millimeter square. The number of
connections/pins can vary but the most important aspect is that it has
nothing to do with what is inside it. The thing that determines the
amount of power that is used is the die inside. The die is a piece of
semiconductor material that is the electronic circuitry inside the 9 mm
square package that along with the technology that made it determines
the power used by it.
