Sam, Re: “I hear that Synaptics owns about 15% of Foveon. Can you confirm this? Do you know how Foveon is doing lately? An IPO would certainly get SYNA's stock rolling.”

Looking back at my notes (not memory- gg) , 15% is what GG has stated. I believe National Semi has an even larger stake in Foveon. According to the discussion on the Gilder board, not fast enough for most of those folks. Gilder has written a new book , “The Silicon Eye” about Foveon, which is to be released shortly. Gilder’s association with Carver Mead over the years has influenced many of his technology investment ideas. I had the great opportunity to sit at the same table as Carver during Gilder’s Telecosm conference two years ago. This year the Foveon folks presented again, and their blown up photo exhibit was excellent. One of Gilder’s staff has a Foveon equipped camera, and she swears by it.
