Region's turmoil has upside; some high-tech U.S. companies benefit from manufacturing deals

Article Abstract:

Asia's economic crisis is benefiting some manufacturers in the US. A case in point is Pixelworks Inc which has a manufacturing contract with Toshiba Corp. In return, Pixelworks got some financing for the development of its first semiconductor which is intended for high-definition TV sets and flat-panel monitors. Other beneficiaries of the Asian crisis are American consumers who get to purchase imports such as stereos and shoes at a very low cost and high-technology companies, that are creating partnerships with Asian corporations.
