Slacker claimed that they were out there and that QCOM had a share. I claim (know) that they LTE HW has been out there for 3 years, but there is no uptake otehr than USB modems. I think you are ignoring AT&T here. They dont count for much volume yet, but they certainly matter in terms of the total number of LTE design wins. Within Verizon, Q has the HTC and Pantech models as well as various USB modems. Within AT&T, I believe that Q has the design wins for all 3 LTE handsets and that includes a LG and Samsung model. I believe that they are also are in both tablets currently available with LTE at AT&T (Samsung and HTC). So why did LG and Samsung choose to go with a MDM9200? Performance? Spectrum support? I do not think that LTE can get to the same power point as the 3G technologies and the best route would be to leave LTE in idle state and use 3G until it is needed to go to LTE. they can do very fast ACQ like they did on wifi and make it useful and far less power. I was wondering about this. It seems like an obvious solution to dramatically extend the battery life. Slacker
