Jim and all, broadband devices forget this SI - QCOM stuff. Dump the thread, I am going to start a new company, bbanddevices.com, IPO coming soon. Trusting this group is somewhat up to date on this stuff, are you saying that there isn't much beyond the Nokia 9000 or the Qualcomm pdQ at this time, in terms of wireless internet? While it is true that the popularity of data is dependant upon availability from the carriers and the associated cost, but isn't this a chicken or egg argument? If you have a device that appears to have blockbusting potential, the carriers would be foolish not to provide it. To the engineers (including engineer) on this thread, how difficult is it to design such a device, once the bandwidth is available? Isn't it just a wireless modem connected to a basic PC type device? Is the new Apple surfbook a front runner of future "true" wireless devices? Japan is supposed to be the first country to go, or test, 3G (which I doubted would be next year), what device would they be lauching 3G with, another glorified phone? The more I think about it, the revenue potential from such devices is mind boggling. It could be the combination of a cell phone, notebook PC, palm pilot business. Qualcomm's earnings is going to be strong and stable for the next couple of years, just from the current generation of CDMAOne. So just as this generation reaches some type of saturation point, the next generation is set to explode. So who wants to buy some shares of my start up? Ramsey
