Clark and thread,

I am from the Junior Varsity thread, so don't flame me if this is a dumb question! <gg>

I need help on this. I am thinking of how the current PC's and cell phones are morphng into these new Wireless Internet Appliance's (WIA's). I was told that these new devices would use an INTC chip, for instance, and a Q ASIC. That's great, but I have a sneaking suspicion that as fast as tech moves, there might be a move to integrate the CDMA ASIC technology onto a WIA chip. Is this physically possible? Does it make sense?

If so, wouldn't it be great if INTC integrated the CDMA ASIC design with the P3 design, created a WIA chip and paid huge royalties to Q, thus gaining huge market share from current Gorilla INTC?

Sorry about the dumb question but I would like to know if I am all wet on this thought or if it could be a reality.

As these WIA's get smaller and smaller, won't there be a need to integrate the normal PC semi chip and the CDMA ASIC?

TIA!
