JB,

I'd be very happy to see idti as the engine for acer's new product(s). You or Rob may be able to answer this question since I'm not really all that knoweldgeable about processor architecture, but is it possible that IDT's scaled down C6 is the next generation processor to run smart appliances? I interpreted Acer's press release to mean that the next wave of "smart appliances" will have the quasi functionality of a computer but be limited to what it exactly can do. It seems to me that IDT could and can produce such a chip that is powerful enough to run a small variety of common functions (ie banking at home, etc, etc,etc.) but just short of being an actual computer. And at an affordable price that the common people can afford-(ie not a luxury but a necessity!)

Am I making any sense with my comments?( I've been up since 4 am PST so my typing is starting to slur).

Let me know if I've hit the head of the nail with my hammer or if I just missed it and smashed a huge hole in the wall.

I'm just impatient with IDTI. Two years is a long time to wait.

I'm going to sleep now. Hopefully, I'll wake up to see IDT release a PR re: ACER!!!
