I just picked this up from a Creative site...

Quote:
Finally, SigmaTel scores another big name for their (theoretically) kick-ass STMP-3600 System-on-Chip solution. After Samsung already took the bait and implemented the 3600 into their relatively-successful YP-Z5 (interestingly-enough, Apple is now considering switching back to SigmaTel for their iPod shuffle range), SigmaTel moves on to Creative. Yeah, that's the company behind the Zen Vision:M, in case you've already forgotten.

Actually, the two parties involved have met a couple of times before already, but it'll still be interesting to see how Creative ends up implementing the 3600 into their own designs.

It would be really funny if Apple did choose SigmaTel. It would be like putting the band back together...

Exactly. That's what made me say, "I have to post this."

How nice it would be if empeg rose from poorly advertised excelence in obscurity to silently take over the entire portable MP3 industry.
