Why doesn't Matrox get into the mobile market?

[The Rock]

I had a funny thought today. The mobile market is all abuzz about ATI's Rage Mobilitly chipset. This kinda makes me sick since ATI, in my view, hasn't produced a decent product in years and has NEVER written good drivers for any of their cards. SO I got to thinking; ATI seems to be heading towards dominating the laptop market just because they're one of the few chipsets that can be 3d accelerated on laptops. Laptop buyers are typically used to 2d-only S3 Virge type video in their laptops. So what I was wondering is this: why doesn't Matrox get their noses in there? Couldn't the G400 be altered to consume less power? If it isn't a power hog to begin with (a la GeForce), this sounds "relatively" simple on paper. I would jump all over a Matrox-powered laptop. Hell even a modified G200 would be top-of-class for laptops right now. We can't let a rotten foolish company like ATI be successful when there's room for better companies like Matrox in there. Anyone from Matrox care to comment?

Yeah,
I have an Asus F7400 Laptop with an ATI Rage LT Pro. They expect an early beta for w2k in mid-june!!!

Matrox, wake up!
Take that step. It would be cool to set up an external monitor for dualhead!
And the tv-out should also be better then the one from ATI

When I read the topic, I thought about mobile phones

And wondered what mobile phone would contribute of a Matrox chip. Although the *cough* games *cough* in the mobile phones would benefit from a Matrox chipset

Anyone out there wanting to play UT on his Nokia 9110?
