Your summary of QCOM's comments re: newly announced MOT chip fit my memory of call..

As to qdog comment in Message 11787929 that reporters vs. MOT responsible for how new chip announcement taken, I don't fully buy it.

Yes reporters did write what they wrote. But if they were getting it wrong, all MOT had to do was come out and say so.
MOT wanted to leave an impression and mainstream business press was (as seems usual) all to ready to oblige.
Announcement, as others have pointed out, seems to have been timed to impact QCOM prior to earnings (although I cannot see what it gains them).

Maybe all of this is a bit of paranoia, but MOT seems to have business press (including likes of CNBC) sucking up to them, and they use it every way they can.

But hey, this is a great Q day for many, many reasons, so like the song says I "be happy."
