Clark, re. ASICs incorporating DSPs and increasing system on chip orientation of Q!(maybe) and NSM, among others. I recall several months ago in one of the thread's analytical cracks at wireless technology that someone, maybe w molloy, engineer (but I don't think so) or someone else saying that running CDMA core and Palm-like computer microprocessor functions (and by extension, 3G multi-media DSP type functions) on the same ASIC would be a significant error, as the added software code required to enable the hard-wired ASIC would leave the chip either error prone or much slower than two separate microprocessors.

Any recollection of this? If so, your (or engineer's or w m's )thoughts now.?

Regards. Steven
