Also, Apple has never really given a damn about piracy, so the emulation market is gonna be wide open. Sony and Nintendo can see a real challenge coming their way.

Are you serious.

You'd have to have been born yesterday in order to think that an iPod with an nVidia graphics chip will do anything to the handheld market.

OK, all I bet the chip is going to be is a low-powered 2D graphics chip, because that's all the iPod needs.

All the move was, was that nVidia was probably better at providing what Apple wanted: more chips, at lower prices. Broadcom can't compare to nVidia when it comes to that.

Apple knows what the iPod is and what it's designed for. You obviously don't.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
