Multiple radios are going to be a very critical part of what we are doing.
In the last three years, the growth in the market for GPS-enabled devices has been very fast.
All indications are that 2006 will be a big year for these types of devices because price points are becoming consumer-affordable.
The ability to do good quality audio as well as the ability to transmit GPS information simultaneously is important. People will use our technology not only for GPS but for music too.
We found that mobile phones and some other devices that were shipping with our GPS chips also had Bluetooth, and it made sense to provide a lower cost, lower power, and size-optimized alternative to having two separate systems.
This is designed for portable navigation systems or handheld GPS receivers, where people can sync to the network server once a week and after that they don't have to work about getting data from satellites. Start-up times will go from 1-to-2 minutes to less than ten seconds.
