Very interesting. Does this scenario (i.e., video transfer between mobile phones and portable video devices) relate to your previous speculation of Samsung being our ``large unannounced Asian customer``?

Are cell phones going to be the major portal device for secure digital content for other diverse protable devices, such as laptops, automobile systems, PDAs, and mobile media players? Qualcomm and Texas Instruments ``developing competing wireless chips designed specifically to receive and process video signals more efficiently`` is surely a good sign of the interest in the area. Besides this interesting Ittiam find, is there any evidence that e.Digital has a foothold in this area?

And let`s not forget this possible link:
