PLAY's best new growth driver is "Preface", not chips for DAP's.
"Introducing Preface, a new technology from PortalPlayer that works with Windows Vista to enable a secondary LCD screen called Windows SideShow that displays data and pictures and runs other useful mini-applications that cater to your lifestyle. Since Preface is so power-efficient, it can run for hundreds of hours without draining your notebook battery providing Always On access to your data and multimedia content."

high margins and a larger market than DAP's. Good buy for nVidia. $357 million is pretty close to the cash value of the company.
