There is no way that Snapdragon can be considered part of their core competency anymore than TV broadcasting was.

On vacation, but I have to take the time to vehemently disagree with this statement. Q's r&d in applications processors has gone on for nearly as long as I have owned the stock ('98). An early example is the msm6100 which had a 150Mhz ARM9 processor. That chip was announced in October 2002.

Snapdragon is absolutely a core competency of the company. As for tv broadcasting, the develpment of the technology is also a core competency for the company. The mistake, as usual, was attempting to invest/run the carrier.
