Yeah, and once that stuff becomes mainstream, it gets incorporated into motherboards. I don't have to buy a SCKT
card because in my new laptop wirelessness is built in.

It's a small company. It can make designs, but much bigger companies can make them too -- maybe better. Last I looked SCKT didn't manufacture anything -- the chips all come from the big boys.

Don't fool yourself -- very few patents are "valuable" except maybe defensively. I assure you, the big boys have MORE patents. SCKT's patents almost certainly don't equate to market power -- and one reason we know this is it still loses money.

Sure, and after the announcement of Cypress's sales at the close of today, they may both go to hell.

I don't mean to bash SCKT, it may be a swell company with prospects. But the heights it reached during the 90's were nuts; and that type of mania doesn't often strike the same company twice.
