Well, whoop de doo. It's not just Nokia which QUALCOMM at $58 billion has overtaken in market capitalisation:
Siemens is hanging in there but the others have been overtaken now:
Motorola $36 billion Texas Instruments $36bn Siemens 59bn Sony $32bn AT&T $12bn Ebay $51bn General Motors $24bn Ford $27bn Oracle $54bn
QCOM is now hunting big game:

QCOM has pulled clear of the herd of has-beens [Sun, Ericy, Lucent, Nortel, Wcom, Nextel, Amazon, Yahoo!, Starbucks, Alcoa, Boeing, Caterpillar, DuPont, Disney, Honeywell, McDonalds, etc, etc, etc...].
American Express is at $63bn, Home Depot $73bn, Hewlett Packard $61bn, Johnson & Johnson $165bn, Coca Cola $106bn, MMM $65bn, Altria $96bn [what the heck are they?!!], Merck $100bn, Pfizer $245bn [wow!], Proctor & Gamble $138bn, SBC $84bn [who are they?], UPS $80bn
