Who is backing HDR? When is the role out Greg, I have never been very interested in that end of the picture. I can't help you.

Greg, it's a foregone conclusion that there are amazingly bright, powerful competitors out there who will seize any opportunity to move into areas in which Q plans to operate. The only thing protecting Q is superiority of its technology, and in particular the superiority of its proprietary technology. If Q's IPR does not cover features which give HDR an inherent advantage over possible competing technologies, no one can expect Q to enjoy an inherent advantage, or any protection from powerful competition. However, I remember Dr. J. saying "other technologies can't compete" with HDR. Frankly, at this point I don't understand why, or whether the HDR advantage is for mobile applications only. We need a lot of enlightenment on this. -- idler.
