Texas Instruments is seeking to develop new markets for digital signal processors as demand slows from cell phone handset makers such as Nokia, Ericsson and Motorola. In September, Texas Instruments said it expected those customers to ship 400 million to 435 million handsets, after originally estimating 435 million. "I think over time Texas Instruments will be able to make the transition into this market," said Gerard Klauer Mattison analyst Jack Geraghty, who rates TI shares a "buy." "They're still gaining market share for DSPs used in digital cameras, personal digital assistants and switches for cellular phones. And their long-term prospects are good." TI's main competition is Broadcom, the largest maker of chips for cable set-top boxes.
