Tero, "And here is Qualcomm with its stance on Symbian - once again trying to get complete control, eschewing power sharing and cooperation." When did Q try to get compete control of Symbian? or maybe that's not what you mean. You probably mean that joining with MSFT and working with CE they're working on a proprietary OS. Well guess what? Symbian is a a fraternity that I don't believe ever stooped so low as to offer Q a spot.You'll say it's because they're so belligerent but it's more likely because they aren't a member of the 20 bil+ sales club. "The price of failing to take part of early Symbian development will be exclusion from a potentially vast market of IT/mobile telecom integration My impression is that Q will be able to license Epoc from Symbian unless they are refused one, which I doubt will happen. BTW Symbian is a company that will license for MONEY it's proprietary operating system, sound familiar, intellectual property, FOR SALE. Q is also a Bluetooth Member so they're not locked out of that either. QCOM was willing to set up production in CHina, and I think MOT already does but not sure. "As with W-CDMA and CDMA2000 Qualcomm is once again playing double or nothing. Domination of global marketplace or failure. Isn't there a point where a 4 billion dollar company might want to decide to cooperate on some aspects of its business?" What are you talking about. Who has said anything about this joint venture being exclusionary. Maybe it is but we don't know that yet. They've already stated that it won't impact their pdQ product.It also apparently has something to do with corporate networks, maybe with the types of things a renamed and retooled Omnitracs might do.We'll all find out on Tuesday. What I'm hoping is this will be a relationship that will allow Q to leverage the manufacturing might of Wintel to produce scaled back laptop type mobile computing/radio devices. Q might not need to build more production facilities, they would get to drive infrastructure demand and it will be good for CDMA. You seem to see everything in Black and White and you're such an arrogant hypster...dave
