Fresh kids out of college know current technology, have the lowest starting salaries ...
Know the current technology???? Show me one engineer that just graduated that can do "system level" design. There is an ever-increasing gap between what is taught in school and actual implementation of engineering methods. There will always be a need for older, more experienced engineers.
This will NOT be a competitor to OMAP. OMAP is a chip that contains an ARM925T RISC, C55x DSP, and just about every peripheral you can think of (USB, MMC, Memory Stick, UART, Bluetooth, etc).
TI is planning on producing a chip that combines into a single chip the software, baseband technology, applications processing, power management, radio frequency and embedded memory that typically require separate processors.
How hard could it possibly be to create a program that checks the database of "published" articles before you submit it to the front page??????????????

First of all, Verizon and Sprint are launching / have launched CDMA 1XRTT networks, not GPRS/GSM networks.
Second, implenting 1XRTT (144 kbps) for Sprint and Verizon is a much simpler and cheaper upgrade. It consists of installing an extra card into the base station and minor upgrades to software.
Verizon is already testing CDMA 1X EV-DO, which allows download speeds of up to 2.4 Mbps. Sprint and Verizon will be head of the rest of the pack in speed, performance for quite a long while.
Also, lets not forget about 802.11b!!! This technology will soon be offered by the wireless carriers to supplement their data services in various "hotspots."
After reading this post I became very depressed. I recently (3 months ago) purchased a 50" Toshiba HDTV set from Best Buy which I was quite happy with until I read the article.
Even though I knew that Best Buy's return policy was limited to 30 days, I decided to print the article and show it to one of the managers at Best Buy in hopes of convincing him to let me return it. Sure enough, after reading the article he allowed me to get a FULL refund.
>> TI has officially invaded Intel's territory, having landed its OMAP chip in HP's Jornada 928.
I would hardly call the cell phone and handheld market "Intel's territory." The cell phone market already dominated by TI (60%+ market share), while Motorola has a much stronger presence in the handheld market with its Dragonball processor. In fact, TI has signed up 9 out the top 10 cell phone manufacturers to use its OMAP platform.

Yeah, except for the fact that attachment sizes are limited to 10MB! How in the world do you plan to get the data up there in the first place?

What if we don't want to store their data? Can you imagine how many contacts you would have if you stored a business card for every hand you shook?
This concept could be easily extended to include the copying of protected video and audio as well.

I am a RR customer in Houston, TX and have been using Kazaa for the past six months with no problems whatsoever.
Thats great! When do they start deploying it in places where people live?

1GHz RAM!!!!! Where can I find that? :-)
Yes, I do work for TI.
