<If Qualcomm executes well, they could dominate mobile Internet messaging. > Consider this. After a quick canvas amongst my colleagues (the ones who haven't gone home yet) A typical 'Internet Messaging' session could be this thread. At work I run a 21" screen and a seriously quick internet gateway. At home I run a 14" screen and a 56KFlex modem, which gives me 26Kbit/s connections most of the time. Perusing this thread at work is tolerable. Perusing at home? Sooo sloooow. Doing it on a small screen? No way! What other 'Internet Messaging' services did you envision? I can think of many specialist niche services, but very few services with mass consumer appeal. Mobile wireless today has a long way to go. I think we shall have to wait for wideband CDMA (in one or more flavor's) before we see anything with a mass market appeal. What that 'anything' is is anyones guess.
