Hmmmm. No mention of HD????

How can that be? Could it be that it has already joined AM stereo and FM quad in the dustbin of history???

Excerpted from http://www.fmqb.com/Article.asp?id=331120

At the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), Frontier Silicon launched its new Chorus 2i baseband receiver SoC (system on chip), which allows Internet radio capabilities and other streaming options for WiFi radios. The chip allows manufacturers to produce radios that can receiver Internet, DAB and FM stations, using WiFi and connections.

“With audio content increasingly becoming available on-line, audio receivers must embrace WiFi connectivity to avoid obsolescence within a few years,” said Steve Evans, VP of digital audio for the British electronics company. “While the majority of audio products today rely on broadcast technology, we are now in the transition decade where consumers will increasingly demand access to digital content from the Internet. This chip will accelerate the introduction of the new generation of home audio systems by bringing Internet radio and streaming into mass market radios and audio systems.”
