Mike - Is it the DSP's that help the next gen CDMA ASICs compute?

No, not in the sense you mean. DSP's do computations, but a little too specialized (for communications) to be of much utility to you as an end user. As I believe has been said in some of Qualcomm's press releases, the next generation of ASICs will include an ASIC that contains not only a DSP but a normal microprocessor to do PDA type functions. It's the shrinking of microelectronics that allows all of this to be put on one chip.
