SonicBLUE
SonicBLUE was an American consumer electronics company formed as the result of the 1999 merger between computer peripheral maker Diamond Multimedia[?] and graphics chipset maker S3 Inc.[?]
In November 2000, the combined company changed its name to SonicBLUE and changed its focus from graphics chipsets and computer peripherals to consumer electronics, such as the Rio line of MP3 players. The graphics chipset business was sold to VIA. In 2001, the company bought ReplayTV, a maker of PVR systems.
On March 21, 2003, SonicBLUE filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and sold off its main product lines.
