RE: "The customer thinking goes "How can we design in a single source part when the vendor tried to gouge us on multi-source parts. We would be completely shafted if the vendor later tried to gouge us." How could Intel marketing and management be this arrogant and blind in a area considered vital for Intel's future growth ? I am finally seeing a few Motorola smart phones with XSCALE chips, but it should have been a lot better." ----------------------------------------------------- The personality clash between Intel's style and the communication industry was astounding, and resulted in a pricing disconnect between supplier and customers. Pricing isn't purely about supply and demand, it's about trust. The communications industry soundly rejected Intel's style - and this problem wasn't only one person's doing at Intel, but a problem with a clash in cultures. Sean Maloney changes are an improvement. Having said that, how is Intel going to earn customer trust back? You don't suddenly raise prices by 20% and expect an industry to ever forget this. The mistake was more costly to Intel than what some may even realize. You articulated it very well. Regards, Amy J
