PortalPlayer Inc., the media processor company that famously lost a key socket in the next-generation iPod nano earlier this year, has secured an applications processor design win in the forthcoming iPhone from Apple Computer Inc., according to a Wall Street research analyst.

Consistent with previous speculation, Nvidia Corp.—which is poised to acquire PortalPlayer in a $357 million deal announced earlier this month—has seen its graphics processor designed into next-generation video iPods due out next year, according to Chris Caso, an analyst with Friedman, Billings, Ramsey & Co. Inc.
