Texas Instruments (TXN) Bets On TV And Cell Phones

Texas Instruments (TXN) believe that sales of handsets and digital TV will drive its profits over the next decade. Because of sales of these products, the demand for analog chips could skyrocket.

Speaking about analog chips, one of TI’s core product lines, the company told Reuters "total global sales should double to about $74 billion within seven years from $37 billion last year."

The trouble with the projection may be that a lot of evidence shows that handset sales growth is slowing. Some markets, including the US, Japan, and much of Europe, already have very high product penetration.

And, there are other companies competing for that business, included National Semiconductor (NSM).

But, it is always nice to dream
