Tuna,, stay cautious and be nimble. Save some money for when the trend is clearly back to a bull market. I have been doing well lately trading only the days when it is clearly green and red. Long on green days and short on red ones. It could be a while before we see the return to the bull. We will see if the rally was a relief rally or did a bottom occur. I have a feeling it was just a relief rally. I think we may be 6mos away from the end of the bear. (At least average bear market is 18mos.) We have about 11 months in right now. Hopefully we get continuous interest rate lowering. Good luck. Cray

Texas Instruments DSPs Power New Internet Audio Player From Sanyo TI's Programmable DSPs Enable Support for Multiple Audio Formats And SDMI-Compliant Security DALLAS, Jan. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Texas Instruments Incorporated, (NYSE: TXN - news; TI) today announced that its programmable digital signal processors (DSPs) are being used in Sanyo's new SSP-PD7 Portable Digital Memory Player. Powered by TI's DSP, the new Sanyo player is completely SDMI compliant with support for multiple formats. The PD7 also features Liquid Audio's Secure Portable Player Platform (SP3), ensuring the secure distribution of digital music to the portable digital audio device. (See ti.com for more details.) TI's ultra-low power TMS3205409 DSP provides a Multi-Decoder System enabling the Sanyo PD7 to support both mp3 and Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) formats, two of the more popular audio compression technologies. Capitalizing on TI's power-efficient DSPs, the Sanyo PD7 provides advanced features and up to 5 hours of use on a single AAA battery. Balancing powerful features and processing with advanced battery management, TI DSPs offer the most complete system solution for Internet Audio applications. ``Sanyo's premier offering in the digital audio arena, the PD7, is a logical step toward the future of portable music,'' said Gary Hodge, VP/Sales and Marketing, Audio/Video Group at Sanyo Fisher Company. ``It was designed to meet the requirements of today and be flexible enough to survive the introduction of new standards in the future. Texas Instruments offers a programmable solution that not only satisfied our immediate design needs, but also future-proofed the PD7 to incorporate new formats and features as needed.'' Using the Sanyo PD7, which is currently available on The Sanyo Store Web site (http://www.store.sanyousa.com), consumers can easily download audio files from the Internet through a USB port and load them onto an included removable and re-writable MultiMedia Card, storing up to 60 minutes of content. ``To capitalize on consumer demand for portable Internet Audio players, consumer electronics manufacturers have sought cost-effective solutions that enable them to bring products to market quickly,'' said Jorge Kittl, Internet Audio business manager at TI. ``As Internet Audio formats continue to evolve, devices also need the flexibility to adapt to changing standards. Sanyo's decision to design the PD7 around TI's programmable DSP insures against product obsolescence.'' TI's DSPs are the overwhelming choice for use in portable Internet Audio players, with more than 70 products designed around TI chips. In addition to AAC and mp3, TI DSPs support all the latest digital music formats, including Windows Media Audio (WMA), ePAC, Dolby® Pro Logic®, Dolby Digital 5.1, QDesign QDX, ATRAC3 and AudibleReady software speech codec ACELP®.net from VoiceAge. TI's DSPs support digital rights management (DRM) technology from InterTrust and Microsoft, as well as Liquid Audio's SP3. TI also supports the broadest range of digital storage media.
