Still waiting for those quotes Eduardo. If you got time to BS in other
threads you can post a quote backing up your claims.

As for SiPort and CES, there are over 400 hits on Google citing
articles describing the product; here is a Radio World quote from

SiPort Unveils Single Chip IC for HD-R

by Leslie Stimson, 1.24.2008 Leslie Stimson is the News Editor and
Washington Bureau Chief for Radio World.


SiPort's HD Radio chipset was an interesting highlight of this
month's CES,
though it wasn't out on the floor. What I saw in the company's
suite in
the
Hilton was pretty interesting.

The semiconductor company displayed what its engineers say is a
single-chip
solution for the portable market to invited attendees.

In an exclusive interview, SiPort Vice President of Engineering
Aiman Kabakibo told me his company's chip consumes roughly 120 to
125 mW of power.

The chip, in development since 2005, can also support DAB and DAB+,
RDS and
the FM subcarrier-based MSN Direct signal in addition to HD Radio
and Terrestrial Digital Multimedia Broadcast.

"In order for us to achieve the lowest power [consumption] and
footprint
we had to start with a clean piece of paper and do this from the
ground up so we could optimize for power," he said.

The company displayed two prototype MP3 players with integrated FM
HD-R
receivers using its chip.

A company spokesman said SiPort expects to launch its chip with
major
customers this summer.

Thanks for the link.

OK, now I'll explain what this is to you. It is a thing called
vaporware. Why do I call it vaporware? Let's take this one step at a
time.

According to Leslie Stimson's article:

"SiPort¹s HD Radio chipset was an interesting highlight of this month¹s
CES, though it wasn¹t out on the floor. What I saw in the company¹s
suite in the Hilton was pretty interesting."

It is not out on the floor because it is not a product yet and is still
under development. This is typical behavior when you are trying to
convince someone of a product that's not ready. It's called high
pressure sales talk. You can't do this out on a exhibition floor
effectively. You should understand this tactic.

Leslie Stimson's article:
"The semiconductor company displayed what its engineers say is a
single-chip solution for the portable market to invited attendees."

What to make of this statement? Pretty vague isn't it. My best guess is
they just showed IC packages that you can see old picture of on the net.
I would not take this statement to mean he saw something working because
it is just to easy to say so.

Leslie Stimson's article:
"A company spokesman said SiPort expects to launch its chip with major
customers this summer."

The rest is nearly meaningless fluff talk by SiPort except for this last
line, which means it does not exist yet. Will it ever exist? Maybe this
summer or maybe not.

This company does not have its own fabrication facilities and will
contract with a firm such as TSMC to make the parts. This will probably
cost millions of dollars and they are most likely looking for financial
backing. That's what is going on in the hotel suite.

Now, Eduardo tell me again how crow tastes.
