The chip will deliver, according to the manufacturer, better sound and less CPU usage. From the machine translated page:<br /><br /><i>"This corporation installed and observed to the Ogg Vorbis promptly as the speech compression technology which is optimum to the equipment, ' the system IP for the Ogg Vorbis corresponding portable music player ' announced on July 15th of 2003. Being something which in order to verify the processing efficiency of this system IP as the actual tip/chip it developed & made on an experimental basis it does the FS-500. This system IP although mounting Ogg Vorbis playback processing with the software with the device of the hardware and firm wear both architecture, with software mounting which uses former general purpose CPU low actualizes clock which is difficult high efficiency * economical memory operation."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/OggVorbisDecoder.jpg" /><br /><br />I will not say that this will revolutionize anything, but it might be a step towards better sounding video conferences. ;) I linked to the Google machine translated press release, but there is naturally a <a href="http://www.finearch.com/pless%20release/pr_20050117_J.htm">press release in Japanease</a>.
