ASICs vs. DSPs--I had been under the impression that, in terms of transceiver functions of MSMs and CSMs, an ASIC alone was capable of rendering the RF waveform into digital bits translatable to analog form by a (incorporated or adjunct) DSP that might be part of the core or not. Am I off base on this thought?

With Intel/DSP and TXN powerhouses in the DSP area, does this constitute a manufacturer/carrier alternative to using Q's MSMs/CSMs?

Any thoughts from engineer, Clark or Walt?
