Do I base my decisions on Dennis? I suggest you read some of my posts on this thread going back more than a year. I base my decision on: 1) No chip even sent to fab yet 2) Constant hype from company over the course of 1.5 years 3) Constant disappointment from company There are at least a dozen facts that support each of the above points. The largest being press releases saying the chip would be released last year and Sierra with projected $40 million in revenue by the end of this year (now projected at zero). Dennis knows more about the internals of Innovacom than you or I. You can ignore his opinion but why ignore their consistent track record and the looming competition. Even if Innovacom does get a chip out, why would anyone in their right mind use a chip from a shaky start-up when companies like Sony and C-Cube will have fairly cheap codecs?
