    Here at NVIDIA's Editor's Day event today, NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang addressed questions about the company's plans for a possible second spin of its popular but ill-fated SoundStorm audio solution. Apparently, a reprise of SoundStorm will happen. Huang told the assembled press types, "We're gonna build SoundStorm 2. It's gonna be awesome." He was less clear on what form the next SoundStorm would take, saying that NVIDIA was still trying to figure out how to deliver SoundStorm as a product. Huang said, cryptically, that the new SoundStorm "will come in a way that you won't expect."

    Hopefully nvidia will be able to give Creative a run for their money and force them to innovate the same way they were able to with ATi.

    Yes, it would be nice to have less monopolisation within the Computer Audio sector and some more competition, nicer products and lower prices :good:

    Especially since Creative Labs has shown time and again that they:

    * Lack innovation
    * Don't give a crap about their customers
    * Can't write decent drivers to save their meager lives
    * Won't admit their mistakes (see Audigy1)
    * Trip retarded people (on purpose, really!) :p
