you shold try doing business with TI and you will realize that they have a real deep problem. I tried to buy OMAPS and it took no less than 5 differnt management groups to decide which market segment I fit into so they could talk to me, then nobody could figure out how to price it, then when they did price it (from 3 differnt groups) they were all differnt. While Ti has at times good technology, they are totally confused as to how to run their groups. Without the 1 or 2 major customers to just deliver stuff to (wihtout sales), they are lost. If they do not completely reorganize and start getting with the 21st century, they will go away fast.
