SAN JOSE, Calif. – I've got a theory why Intel is struggling to get a foothold in TVs and cellphones—it's a lack of humility or, put less kindly, hubris.
While I was taking a few days off last week, Intel quietly announced it was getting out of the digital TV business. It had produced two generations of SoCs--one for Yahoo software and another for the high-profile GoogleTV initiative.
In 2004, the PC giant abandoned a separate digital TV effort that tried to leverage microdisplays, an emerging technology that never quite emerged.
