I don't know how "alarmed" one should be about ASP erosion in chipsets. Q still managed impressive margin growth despite price erosion. Of course prices are plummeting, volumes are exploding.

Q has made it clear they can't compete in the handset game, that without royalties advantages they're in fact losing money. Presumably the buyer will be a larger manufacturer, somebody who brings economies of scale to component buying. Is Q gonna make deal without an ASIC arrngement? I doubt it.

Tero...Lets talk about Q's weakness when we see who the buyer is. At that point we might have some "real" info...
