SiG is coming very fast. It will make things like more efficient power amps for cell phones, since the current needed to operate the device goes way down. It also allows the combination of regular digital circuits on the same chip as very good high performance analog circuits, so IF Qualcomm for instance were to try to combine the whole cell phone onto a single chip, this would be the technology that could possibly do that. Not sure the Dell/IBM thing has alot to do with this, unless Dell also announces that they intend to send out every laptop in the year 2000 with an HDR chipset inside so that they just come pre-wired for ISP service the day the person gets their laptop/desktop. This announcement sure is driving the stock markets up, though.....
