Analog & Digital Chips On The Same Silicon

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the put-'em-together dept.

jukal writes "Forbes.com writes: "Intel Corp. Monday announced plans to put some functions of analog and digital chips onto the same piece of silicon, its latest push into the communications semiconductor industry.", "which will be available early in 2004, could lead to a single-chip hand-held device that offers cellular phone, wireless-data-network and other connection services.", so, I quess this will be a competitor to the Texas Instruments' OMAP chip?"

    I want a phone smaller than my already tiny Sanyo 6200 (Sprint Dual band)

    Or, even better, a phone the same size, but with a bigger screen and battery.

    Seriously, this phone is bad ass, and the "smallest dual-band phone in North America"

    It has a picture of my girlfriend on it ;P

    Eeek. That must make it into the top 10 of worst moderations in /. history. The comment is +5, Insightul.

    When I submitted that article, I thought I should write about Intel's slowness related to wireless/radio things or not, but then I decided to leave it out. They are behind, it's a fact. But still, I think it's news that they are now entering the game with muscle.

    I couldn't agree more. Effective crapflooding is all about lameness. The more text you add, the more slashdot has to pay.

  5. Sad news ... Stephen King dead at 54 by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic


    I just heard some sad news on talk radio - horror/fiction writer Stephen King was found dead at his Florida home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure the entire slashdot community will miss him, even if you're not a fan of his work there's no denying his contribution to popular culture. Truly an American icon, he will be sorely missed.

    Right on. The mods here have become very closed-minded lately (in the last six months or so). I don't know what has changed, but it sucks.
