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

Alright then the amount of time the radio plays. That comment
didn't quite fit in with semiconductor chip sets.
So can you point me to a HD portable that runs off batteries?
Far as I can see there are none.
Your reading comprehension really bites, doesn't it? I have said
multiple times that there will be a minimum of two and as many
as 4 low power consumption HD chips shipping in Q1 of 2008;
these will enable portables and boom boxes of all sizes and we
should see the first in Q2 or Q3 of 2008.
Nothing wrong with my reading comprehension since I did not read
those posts bozo. The posts I read spoke of portables back in
2006.
Nobody with any actual knowledge thought there would be portables
in 2006.
Not true. The availability of portables was predicted well before
2006.
Snip
That's correct. The marketing bozos don't realize that HD, DRM or other
digital modes will require a constant processing load in order for the
receiver to function. This means there will be a constant demand for
power from the batteries. One way that semiconductors can save power is
by shutting down circuits from switching when they are not needed but
that can't happen here.
I don't expect someone like Eduardo to understand the technical details
of the hurtles that need to be overcome for HD portable development.
I expect Eduardo to have the first HD portable though. This portable
will be held in one hand and his other hand will be used to pull the
small cart with a diehard car battery to power it walking the streets of
LA.

How's Eduardo ever going to hold the required AM-loop and FM-dipole
antennas?
