Pisano, Thought about a post I read on this thread, and found a great response from Maurice on the Qualcomm SP 500 Thread> Mqurice PS: To elaborate a little further on VW40. There was a guy called Bill Frezza, to drag him out yet again to flog [let's hope Ramsey doesn't read that backwards or I've broken the no golf thread rule]. He was in the pay of Ericy [3 days a month consultancy and had been their director of marketing or some such] and accused Irwin Jacobs of fraud, CDMA as being a scam or at best an absurd dream designed to keep what he called The CDMA Mafia in business. So, we had the CDMA Mafia and GSM Nazis whose stock in trade was propaganda, lies, deception, dissembling, stonewalling and all that stuff that fools people. They denied CDMA would work. They claim to have invented it. They denied they were interested at all in cdmaOne. They bought the cdmaOne production plant and licences to produce it. Anyway, to shorten a very long story, the original Nazis, [notice the zzzs in Frezza, Nazi, Zenit] were proponents of the original VW Volkswagen. Hence VW40, which worked in nicely with Vapourwear as in the King isn't wearing any clothes. Isn't it ironic though that the original VW was a mass-produced single-mode, low-cost means of getting millions onto the highway. Now, half a century later, we are debating whether we should have a single mode people's transporter to take them onto the wireless information superhighway. I like the Henry Ford Model. Mass produced high quality single mode production. It can be any colour you like, as long as it's black. Okay, we could go with multi-hued casings and multi-tuned ringing. Multi-language keys. Multi-language voice control = goodbye keyboard. Stuff like that. But let's not have weirdo chip rates, synch, concatenations and orthogonality.
