Jack:

It remains to be seen how successful LSI is in the wireless area and CDMA in particular. In spite of LSI's claim that it has a more intergrated chip it's been awfully quiet lately on the news front. And this can't be a good thing for LSI IMHO.

CDMA
STB
Digital Camera
DVD
Video Game Players
Fiber Channel
...

These are all large markets (meaning several million units per year over the next few years and growth rates in the high double digits or even the triple digits over the intermediate term) - LSI has a finger in each one of the pies. The question remains to be seen is whether the success is small/large or just 'average'.

But it is better to be a player now than wanting to be a player later.

Mr. Intel still is not a player and is on the outside looking in. If they ever decide to enter these markets, we'll see just how successful they will be. There is good entrenched competition in many of these and architectures that have been proven worthy that Intel does not have (DSP expertise, analog expertise, libraries of cores, MIPS processors for instance).

As to CDMA that will take a long long time for Intel to get into as this is not even close to being 'easy' and competition is excellent.
