Consumer electronics of this nature is a brutal business...I would keep an eye on my Intel stock price.

If they can cut the price of a flat screen plasma TV down to $500, Intel stands to make a huge profit.

So, will Intel have two versions of their tv products? You know what I mean, one version that works beautifully and one stamped Celeron that only does 70% of the job?

I don't understand all the people last year lining up to buy 6 and 8 Thousand Dollar flat screens. I want one too but I can wait two years for the day when I can buy a same or better set for $400. Don't any of these people have a clue how consumer electronics development and pricing works? DVD players are $35 and LCD computer monitors are $200. Flat TVs will be no exception.

Intel used to make memory chips, but when production became a commonplace commodity, they shifted to processors, where their innovation capabilities gave them a great advanatage. Now that those are becoming commonplace, they are going to where the next opportunity to innovate is.

I was going to buy a DLP projection system in 12 months, but I will keep a close eye on this.

Get these TVs down to under $500 and millions of Bush's illegals will be buying them faster than they can be produced.
