HD radio application specific integrated chip sets are yet to be found

There was a bogus press release by iBiquity last May stating that both
Samsung and SiPort were sampling HD IBOC application specific chip or
chip set at that time. I can then find several articles by technical
news sites that all appear to stem from this one bogus iBiquity press
release but that's about it.

You will notice that wherever this news is mentioned that there are no
part numbers mentioned. This is a very good indicator of the press
release being pure marketing BS.

The SiPort web site still looks like a shell site with no news about an
HD chip or chip set.

http://www.siport.com/

A search of the Samsung site just today indicates no news of this
development either.

An application specific IBOC chip or chip set is still vaporware as far
as I can tell so feel free to go search the links above.

No secret here. Ibiquity lacks honesty with many of their public
announcements. The latest lie concerns "HD" radio prices breaking the
$100 barrier. What they don't mention is that many retailers are
trying to get rid of them with drastic price reductions, rebates,
etc. The Sony XDR-S3HD which was selling for $200 is now $49 in many
stores. Radiosophy is selling their radio at half price just to
unlioad them. These are not the signs of a successful product in spite
of what Eduardo thinks.

Really? Hell, for that price, I'd buy one, new in the box, of course,
just to try it out, and maybe use it for a kitchen radio or something.
I wouldn't pay a cent more than that, though.

I don't suppose you could tell me where these $49 Sony radios are?
Please?

I sure can. I bought one at Best Buy here on the East Coast marked
"CLEARANCE" for $49. There were three of them. There is still one
left. Would you like to see the receipt?

"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."

Yea, it seems the SiPort chipset is dead - the supposed one from
Samsung still needs a power-brick. LOL! Everythig about HD Radio is a
lie - Struble wants to get his fraudulent IPO of fthe ground, then
beat it the hell out of Dodge.
