Actually do read that Press Release again: The question to me really is, who benefits the most from this design-win? Assuming that Fuji Camera Microelectronics Division did the design using Zoran's design tools and library (or at least some ZRAN IP) and the customer Toshiba probably being the fab as well, how do the participants share the added value? My question is, what is left for ZRAN besides the prestige??

ZRAN up 22% today, 60% for the last week. Who said the small caps were hurting.

Zoran...

They do DVD software decoding.
They do DVD hardware decoding and apparently very well.
They do SVCD decoding.
They are aggressively pricing their decoders.

Hey, have we heard about any design wins from C-Cube on the decoder front lately? Nah, they are a communications company.
