JGoren, on DSPs, and further to Maurice's post: DSPs are what Mq said, and the electronic wizardry is converting digital bit streams to analog streams, i.e., which make it audible and comprehensible as human speech, and back. Engibous' strategic repositioning of TXN to get out of PC chips and memory and into DSPs was quite the call. TXN made some announcements about six weeks ago about new generation DSPs working in conjunction with a new software platform the result of which, it was said, would accelerate new features (mmedia, data) into wireless. Thread tried to dope out at that time whether this constituted a threat; I believe that we tentatively concluded that it did not (because of nature of DSP as necessary complement to voice/data transmission via CDMA). But the tech heavyweights on the thread did not, as I recall, weigh in on that discussion.

Regards, JG. Probably hotter in NYC metro area than Dallas this weekend. Steven
