PortalPlayer (PLAY) plunged 42% after the company said Apple (AAPL) took a pass on one of its products. San Jose, Calif.-based PortalPlayer said Apple took a raincheck on the follow-on to its PP5021 System-on-Chip. PortalPlayer said the product is expected to be ready in the second half of 2006 but that Apple won't use it in midrange and high-end flash-based iPods. PortalPlayer said it believes that the PP5021 will continue to be used in other members of the iPod family. By Thursday afternoon, PortalPlayer dropped $9.42 to $13.17.
