Default FM HD in its current form will likely survive it's unlikely AM HD will fail.

In correct. The new chipsets will be considerably less expensive than
the
existing ones. See press releases on iBiquity website.

Not according to Samsung. They predict that the chipsets will be very
expensive indeed.

You are making things up again.



Samsung's words, not mine. You're just playing some kind of joke on
us, right?


Every article I could find mentioned that the chips would be low in energy
consumption and in price. I found nothing referring to higher prices than
existing chipset costs.


I looked around on on the Samsung web site and the only reference I
could find is the original announcement #172.

There is no information on engineering samples of this module. Not a
good sign for its development. There should be at least a projection of
samples by now according to the news release. Looks like more vaporware
to me.

Looks like Eduardo will be pulling that diehard battery cart so far.
