Mike, Addendum to support my reply to your post in case you had not read it. The first action to be heard in the patent dispute relates to a filing last year by BROADCOM before the International Trade Commission (ITC) alleging that Qualcomm infringed BROADCOM PATENTS. The PATENTS in question do not relate to the core code division multiple access (CDMA) wireless technology in which Qualcomm holds an unmatched IP position; nor do they relate to radio frequency (RF) transmission. Instead, the PATENTS relate to ancillary features that Qualcomm has built into its comprehensive chip-set architecture, including multimedia features and applications processing. It is our understanding that Qualcomm acquired some of this expertise in niche acquisitions made in past years. BROADCOM is a minor player in wireless basebands used in cellular phones, and has little presence in particular in 3G. But it is an industry leader in multimedia chips. Message 22605546
