Price up or stable on low volume means:
1)Most are looking for earnings to validate this stock and justify the next move.
2) Institutions aren't selling

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Strange. This topic has come up repeatedly and I've got no recollection of hearing about Mot especially as a potential ASIC vendor although I can understand why they might not want to pump ASICs to their handset competitors. LU has no such disincentive. And VLSI is now part of Philips.

Is it just a matter of time before the ASIC competition gets much more serious?

My reaction is always -- no company (other than Qualcomm) seems talented enough to design these chips well, so who cares if they are allowed to try and produce them ?

(Also, if you were a really, really talented electrical engineer, interested in ASIC chips, where would you want to go to work ?)

Jon.
