Possibility of Q! selling ASICs division. No bad thing in my view. There are going to be such a multitude of ASIC applications for 3G CDMA that Q! won't be able to do more than cover a few of them. Anyway, boring applications are boring. Sega/Motorola games machines. Garage openers. Coke dispensing machines. Kids downloading porn on the way home from school on their Hitachi notebook computer. Yakking on phones all over. Leave all that to others. I bet it doesn't excite Irwin and co. Why not get the dosh from Nokia or whoever bids highest to get hold of a key entry point into the 3G kingdom and turn that towards something a bit more interesting such as speeding light up, spinning gravitons backwards, producing lovely encrypted Q currency by the Qillion, accelerating Eudora into cyberspace with NetZero, while 'tinkering' with Globalstar which is the only global coverage cellphone system which just happens to have the potential to deliver 3G cyberspace to everywhere and make it mobile. Cinecomm, WirelessKnowledge, 724 Solutions, and a few other efforts need a push along too. Yes, come on! Let's get out of the terrestrial ASICs business. Phone Nokia, Intel, Texas Instruments or Hitachi, tell them the negotiations are over and they can take it away. Just like handsets and infrastructure served a purpose in getting CDMA up and running, the terrestrial ASICs division has done the same. Royalties will zoom as a multitude of different ASICs pour out into 3G. Mqurice
