SigmaTel, Inc. announces that by Fall 2002, the D-Major audio product line will overtake all competition and become the market-leading provider of audio decoders for MP3 flash players. With a solution that is feature-rich and low-cost, SigmaTel is currently in the design stage with four of the top six MP3 player makers

`Look for then to is kinda like our 'expect''
`````````````````````````````````````
from their site -

SigmaTel offers a wide range of mixed-signal integrated circuits, or IC's, that convert analog signals found in the physical world, such as music and voice, to the digital signals required by computer processors.

IMHO ` Their compitition is TexasInsturment DSPs and Cirrus SOCs - remember how Actel's FPGA's claimed to be in like 80% of all mp3 players... SigmaTel is another intigrated circuit builder that if, imho, were providing a better solution we would be working with them instead of TI/Actel - It says ther are working with 4 top makers... we could be one, but I doubt it, because it all boils down to programmability for feature-sets - and i didn't see video AAC,QDX - IBM/EMMS etc,. where firmware ends MOS begins... lol
