Hmmm, I wonder if they could design one for flatulence also...The possibilities seem endless!!

Gordon, a very interesting development. I like it! I think IDTI would do well to plow the field of fertile thinking by development of "total systems solutions" rather than being strictly a chip maker. I had no idea they were working on a consumer product group or products like the "SnoreKill" noise cancellation product. I think this could be a big winner - it is definitely a huge untapped market. At $89, the unit would fit the category of compulsion buying and stocking stuffers - a product that millions of spouses or housemates would buy as a gift. Hmmm . . . Maybe a piezo electric sensor and speaker coupled to an A/D and D/A into a small amount of buffer memory and a MIPs uP with pattern recognition (to make sure you cancel the right thing) and noise cancellation algorithms?

Are they going to have a similar device for someone who flatuates excessively?

With a 500K/quarter customer for C6/C6+ that would probably indicate actually quarterly sales in the 1MM-1.5MM range and revenues from Centaur in the $80MM-$120MM range. Clear Logic should contribute $20MM-$50MM/quarter next year as well. Add that to $150MM base. With logic and memory continuing to make strides, we could probably estimate the base to grow to $170MM-$180MM/quarter next year. The graphics chip may be a flop: lets say it is and adds $5MM per quarter. I estimate (based on Farhash's conversation with Brian) quarterly revenues of $275MM-$355MM and growing by this time next year. The SnoreKill looks like a real winner. Let's say that adds $5BB/quarter : ). Seriously, these quarterly revenues would translate into huge gains on the bottom line - earnings of between $45MM and $90MM per quarter. I don't really see any need to run hot and cold on IDTI. The company is following through on what it said it would do. Actually, IDTI is farther along that most of us could have hoped. The analysis of future price activity seems hollow - there is almost no volume now, and when IDTI drifts down the stock is snapped up. What we are really seeing is a small company that has yet to emerge on most institutional radars. Next year this is likely to be a $40+ stock.

It is interesting that information about a SnoreKill first entered this thread on 1 April. Such coincidences do legitimately occur, and I suspect such an apparatus could be devised and engineered. Coming from Missouri in my wheelhouse, I will wait with great expectations for this savior of marriages and worse to hit the streets. However, Bill Clinton's delivery from the Devil In Miss Jones was quite enough humor for one April Fool's Day. May the rest of the world be so lucky.
