    I suppose Aptina must have big plans for this relatively small design center. Or Orton felt that he needed some American expat to run the place instead of trusting the present Japanese management. I think this is really strange unless they have really really big plans. Really.

    Interesting perspective. Sony + Aptina, or Toshiba + Aptina?
