Bob re: Sigma
Do you really want this for Cube? Maybe Sigma is screwing Cube out of PC DVD just like ESS did China VCD. But PC-DVD revenues have been a minor part of Cube's revenues to date. However, even with the announced Sigma wins, I expect Cubes PC-DVD revenues will continue to grow, but not nearly at the rate Divicom will. PC-DVD is a commodity, Cube shouldn't spend a lot of resources here, but take whatever sloppy leftovers they can get mindful of the margins.
