Tony - Re: "most people have been blinded by the Qualcomm light in the cell phone area, and with their patent(?) on CDMA technology. Do you know what the prospects of this Intel - Mitsubishi alliance might be?"

Intel is licensed by Qualcomm for CDMA - this was done by Intel's purchase of DSP Communications which was previously licensed by Qualcomm - and Intel's follow up RENEWAL of the same license.

Qualcomm has moved towards a CDMA LICENSING-CENTRIC position, and chip set sales - and AWAY from Cell phone manufacturing -as they recently sold off their hand set manufacturing division to Kyocera.

So, Licensing, royalties & chip sets are the future for Qualcomm.

Now, W-CDMA is a bit different - it is Wide Band CDMA - and is one of 2 CDMA variations that are vying for NEXT-GENERATION dominance.

I'm pleased to see Intel out in front in this W-CDMA area !
