Broadcom squeezes 11n, Bluetooth, FM into new, cheap chip
Broadcom has released the latest of its so-called combo wireless chips, this time putting single-stream 802.11n, Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, and FM radio reception and short-range transmission into its BCM4329. These combo chips are designed to bring high-end wireless features to handsets and portable media devices by reducing chip count and overall integration costs.

....and AM walks right up to the edge of its grave, sits down on the ground, and dangles its feet down in....


...and, 18 years from now, that annual Beloit College thing about incoming freshmen reads, "Successful Talk Radio has always been on FM."
"I don't know the same things you don't know."

"Yes, you do; you just won't admit it!"


"Yeeee...it looks like a 'Belt Buckle & Ball Cap' convention in here......"
