Did anybody catch the news of HP going off on its own Java standard? The reason appears to be Sun Micro's high license fee for Java. This seems unrelated to QCOM, but a lot of people here are counting on the licensing fees of CDMA for QCOM's future. With the looming "new" wireless standard, it would very important for QCOM to manage this delicately and smartly.

One lesson seems to be that if you charge your licensing fees too high, people tend to split and form their own sandbox.
