The DaVinci Effect (TI Related)...because each portion of the DaVinci platform works together seamlessly, what has been impossible before now becomes entirely practical, meaning the more products in the market, reaching end users mor quickly, with more features and more functuality........Anyone experience a technology of the calibur?...I've had this on my radar and would appreciate any thoughts.

It only works when you see the money.

There are too many claims as you shared. When you see the money (coming in, not out) then you know you are close.

However it amazes me sometimes how much packaging effort goes into a bad product.

Regarding announcement from Monday
Dec 7, 2005 1:50AM PST

Thanks for the responses all....and points noted. In addition, did anyone catch the latest announcement about the DaVinci technology on Monday??? I saw that new products include two DSP-based system-on-chips, multimedia codecs, APIs and development tools. Apparently this will save original equipment manufacturers months of development time and eventually lower costs..what do you think?
