Thanks for your update about Comdex. A couple of comments.

I did a couple of posts on this thread about recent CTIA show in Santa Clara. QCOM had a big booth and I talked with a SnapTrack rep who was part of it. It works - ask NTT DoCoMo. Ask the two NOK guys who must have spent 30 minutes talking with the rep while I was wondering around. Ask the guy from Glenayre (sic) about the SnapTrac enabled product they are banking on (due out around next June) to differentiate themselves from the other makers of commodity pagers, etc.

Second thought is a question - who were the people on the panel other than the QCOM guy? Were they all PC folk? Comdex is a PC oriented show, no? The PC industry has had its place in the fore-front or the economy and now it is time for it to slide into the background, and allow wireless to move to the forefront (along with optics). All of these folks are facing this reality and it could help explain their ignorance (denial is not a river in Egypt).

What is really curious is that they could say this in the face of all the attention put on wireless at the show.
