Apple has been doing chipsets a long time, and I'm pretty sure they're keeping up to date in other developments in the industry. I'm also pretty sure that they aren't going to use somebody else's... especially when Apple's are really quite good. Moki's comments and the Racyer patents seem to hint at Apple putting some computing power into the chipset, which makes some sense when you realize that that is the part of the silicon Apple actually controls -- as opposed to the CPU which they just buy from somebody else. I'm dubious about putting DSPs into the system, but if it is along the lines outlined in the Racyer patents then it gets much more interesting... especially if they do some work to make them easier for the developers to program & controller.</strong><hr></blockquote>
That reminds me.
Programmer, I found some weirdness in the databases that related to the Raycer patents, involving another 2 or 3 (or maybe 5 or 6) patents. Not sure where I should post the info, or if I should. It's all very strange..... <img src="confused.gif" border="0">
