The only car manufacturer I know of that is promoting HD radio is BMW.
I
have heard the BMW commercials on AM radio as my source but I don't
know
if it is an option or standard or any other details. Could be just
promotional BS. I'm not interested enough to follow up on it. I already
waisted my time on the Samsung site looking for vaporware.


My X5 has HD. Third generation and marvelous. Takes FMs in HD to and
beyond
the useful analog contour, and AMs on clean frequencies beyond the onset
of
noise on analog. During the storms two weeks ago, I could get KNX HD for
news well into Riverside County, while the analog signal was unlistenable
due to the lightening and atmospherics.

Samsung does not promote the HD chip to consumers. It has certainly spent
a
lot of time with iBiquity and its shareholders, though.

I'm not talking about promoting. If you visit the Samsung semiconductor
site they have announcements for all chip developments. All I saw were
analog radio on a chip for AMBCB and FMBCB.

The chip was widely promoted at the CES.

Show me a link so I can read about it then.

Does it's existence on the web make it real?

The fact is that Samsung has worked with iBiquity on the chip, and they
announced its development and availability schedule at the CES to the
interested parties. There are two more single chip 9 mm low power
consumption chips from other fabs accepting orders now, too.

The new Colby PORTABLE HD Radio has only 5 hours of battery life - so
much for your low-power HD chipsets.

There is no radio with the new chipset yet. The chips will ship in quantity
in Q2 of 2008 and there should be stock in stores by the end of Q3 of this
year.

9 mA is almost 4 times the current draw of XM's best chip, and that only
lasts 3 or 4 hours.

Eduardo is probably lying again - the new Coby portable HD radio, with
a battery life of 5 hours, and which comes with an external AM-loop
antenna, probably uses the new "low-power" (ha, ha) chipset.

The new chip is not going to be in receivers at retail for 6 to 9 months.

No one is going to want them - what a waste of resources. Either
radio, or HD Radio will be dead by then.

You mean the chips that were supposed to ship last spring, then last
summer, then last fall, then the 1st quarter of 2008 is now going to
ship in 2nd quarter of 2008. I don't think so.
