RE: "PCOAC was just released" not Thread, CORRECTION: it appears it has not been launched: Sorry, one of the rags had said NSM "launched" their chip and Mercury had said "announced." ("Announced" can mean anything, but "launched" usually does mean the product has been launched!) I don't think "successfully integrated" is the quite the same thing as launched! Here's more information: National Semiconductor expects to have its new chip on the market by next summer. National Semiconductor Corporation(R) (NYSE:NSM) today announced it has successfully integrated all the semiconductor content for an information appliance onto a single chip. Previously dubbed "PC- or Information-Appliance-on-a-Chip," National's Geode(TM) SC1400 is the first member of a family of silicon and system solutions under National's new Geode brand. The Geode SC1400 is designed to deliver an optimal Internet experience for the interactive set-top box market - providing full web-browsing functionality together with state-of-the-art digital video.
