Eric,

They were the company that wanted to be a gorilla - the gorilla of (next generation) wireless.

The technology that they have (open) proprietary architecture was NOT selected and (most likely) will not be selected.

They are the chimp of wireless


I can't quibble with the assumptions. (For my quibble take a gander at the mudge thread.) However, I think those assumptions would lead to QCOM being a prince, not the chimp. That's because the overall wireless market is a royalty game (so far), not a gorilla game.
