Last month I saw a nice four function calculator in a blister pack in a hardware store listed @ $2.95, long ago these were well in excess of $100. Not saying we'll see cell phones in blister packs going for that price, but the trend is in that direction and this is another step in that direction, IMO. But, I'll bet there are at least 33x ($100/$2.95) as many calculators sold at $2.95. Plus, what if you could invest in the company that got paid a royalty on all the latest calculators and supplied the chip for most of them?

I agree completely that eventually ASPs will come down. But that wasn't the point. What I was writing about was the suggestion that the radioOne Zero IF announcement was the reason for the recent stock price decline due to implicit, imminent, significant shrinking of ASPs. I respectfully disagree. I don't believe radioOne Zero IF means imminent, significant shrinking of ASPs. Nor do I believe that announcement is the reason for the stock price. I was simply offering a different, positive slant on the same article, FWIW. Regards
