My pedestrian knowledge of DSP's is that they are chips that are designed to take digital and make it audio very efficiently.

Thanks very much for the conference notes. Those are refreshing posts among newfound Q fans'.

Maurice,

Irwin said the MSM5000 would contain a couple of DSPs...

A little help for the technically challenged (me) would be appreciated.

Qualcomm is working on a single chip that will be used in both telephones and small computers. Such a chip will reduce the cost of a telephone that also computes. Currently, two separate chips have to be used, one for the telephony and one for the computing.

Is it the DSPs that will make a dual-purpose chip possible?
