Just announced on CNBC: QCOM will sell its handset division by the end of the year and concentrate on chips and integrated circuits. Stock up sharply. Looks like they decided not to be the largest maker of computers [handheld] in a few years. To those who predicted this: you were correct. To those who thought it would be a mistake: am interested in your take now that it looks like a done deal. One other thing - it looks like the handset division might just be more of a drag on this quarters earnings than we may have thought. Comments.
