Yup, the RealMagic that is referenced in the article is VERY conspicuous. Somebody is clearly holding conversations (what appear to be high level conversations) with the press, and is referring to Sigma as RealMagic--the link is not the first time that I have seen this happen. Wouldn't it be great if Sigma is in the Panasonic (Matsushita) unit AND also a Microsoft unit? sigmadesigns.com Sigma states: "We will be highlighting our DVR and Set-Top-Box products at the Panasonic Press Room (Press Rooms #19 & #20) during this year's PC Expo in New York. We will be directly across from the PC Expo Press Room. Come by and check us out!" Asian Sources states: "Based in part on the number of preliminary orders and the buzz they created at recent trade shows, digital video recorders (DVRs) will be hugely popular when they debut in the fall, International Data Corp. says in its latest study." asiansources.com

So now that the Sigma/Panasonic (Matsushita) relationship is becoming clearer... what is the potential for Sigma being in the next generation Nintendo (code name Dolphin)? " First, Matsushita will develop, manufacture and supply to Nintendo a DVD disk drive for incorporation into the Dolphin hardware unit." "Second, Dolphin's technology will be integrated into various Matsushita or Panasonic branded DVD consumer electronic products, enabling consumers to play movies and music as well as Dolphin games published by Nintendo and Nintendo's third party publishers." "Third, the Matsushita and Nintendo strategic alliance will enable the two companies to explore various ways of extending Nintendo's Dolphin technology and Matsushita's DVD technology to other products." nintendo.com
