Article in today's Wall Street Journal about Intel and toys they are developing, heres interesting part: Few new toys become major hits. But Intel, which earned $6.1 billion last year on sales of $26.3 billion, doesn't expect a huge payoff from the low-margin toy business. Rather, the Santa Clara, Calif., company wants to accelerate the pace of innovation in toys and other devices that attach to PCs -- stimulating demand for the chips that account for the bulk of its business. It expects to stimulate the market further -- with toys that include speech recognition and Internet connectivity. "The whole peripheral category is going to explode going forward," says Ronald Whittier, senior vice president of Intel's content group. "This is all connected computing for us. If there will be a billion connected computers, there could be 10 billion connected peripherals." I wonder if this is part of what EDIG is working on for them.
