Quote: Finally, SigmaTel scores another big name for their (theoretically) kick-ass STMP-3600 System-on-Chip solution. After Samsung already took the bait and implemented the 3600 into their relatively-successful YP-Z5 (interestingly-enough, Apple is now considering switching back to SigmaTel for their iPod shuffle range), SigmaTel moves on to Creative. Yeah, that's the company behind the Zen Vision:M, in case you've already forgotten. Actually, the two parties involved have met a couple of times before already, but it'll still be interesting to see how Creative ends up implementing the 3600 into their own designs.
