As planned, we also invested in additional engineering resources to support our strategic roadmap going forward." "During the quarter, we smoothly ramped production on our new PP5022 device and, as of today, we reached a significant milestone of shipping more than six million of the devices. We have completed the design win activity for our customers' exciting new models intended to ship in the second half of 2005. In addition, we worked with the supply chain to prepare our operations for significant demand in the second half of the year. During the second quarter, we also accelerated our investment in innovative wireless technologies that we believe will help fuel our growth in 2006 and beyond." "We are excited about the upcoming back-to-school and holiday season and believe we are very well positioned for significant growth in the second half of the year. We believe that our revenue for the third quarter of 2005, which is the quarter we expect to begin to recognize revenue from flash-based designs, could be in the range of $50 million to $60 million," said Mr. Johnson.
