Meet the iPod’s Intel
“It isn’t a major surprise that the recent initial public offering filing of semiconductor company PortalPlayer got lost in the shuffle. [...]
But PortalPlayer, which filed for its IPO on Aug. 4, bears watching over the next few months. Here’s why.

Umm, you’re wrong. I have never heard of an iPod made by a company called Inventec. Now, there’s this American company that makes iPods, but I can’t remember what their name is…..

Duh,
Apple doesn’t own any factories in Taiwan, they outsource the production to Inventec.
