INQ Poll
is this pure digital the uk based company that make DAB radios or pure digital technologies the american based company who make the flip camcorder
I guess it's Pure Digial Inc. (http://www.puredigitalinc.com/ the camcorder people), that are are the target.
Pure Digital (http://www.puredigital.com/ the DAB radio people), are part of Imagination Technologies, (http://www.imgtec.com mobile graphics devices people). As Apple and Intel own 3.6% each, I don't think they will be up for sale for a while.
It's most definitely Pure Digital Technologies, Inc. of San Francisco, CA that is the purchase target, not the DAB radio guys.
Speaking of radios, check out the current issue of Scientific American magazine. Boffins have created a radio out of a single carbon nanotube.
