A le, Portal Player parting ways

PortalPlayer, the long time su lier of media chi for the iPod, has been told that A le will be going with another vendorfor mid and high end, flash-based players (the shuffle and nano, presumably).

There'sno word on who has won the newly available contract, but analyst Craig Berger of We ush Morgan Securities listedSamsung, SigmaTel, Actio , or LSI Logic as po ibilities, in that order. Sorry to hear it, PortalPlayer. I'll mi your smiling logo.
