Samsung is the biggest name that I saw. Of course, the largest consumer electronics company in the world is meaningless to you. "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." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HD_Radio Samsung's HD chipset has only 2 hours of batery life - LOL! Of course, no announcement about this vaporwear chipset in any HD Radio products. |
