re PortalPlay
I agree: investing in some widget-maker who's doing well because nobody's offered his big client a better/cheaper/smaller/faster/nicer widget is scary. This company's business, as I read, come mainly from AT&T, no? They've been handling some functions for AT&T and probably were hired by Apple because they already had it down.
What happens when T works out how to do it cheaper? Ouch.
Take care,
