JBC, I need help on this. You mentioned that these new Wireless Internet Appliance's (WIA's) will use an INTC chip and a Q ASIC. That's great, but I have a sneaking suspicion that as fast as tech moves, there might be a move to integrate the ASIC onto/into a Semi chip. Is this physically possible? Know what I mean? If so, wouldn't it be great if INTC integrated the ASIC onto the P3 and paid huge royalties to Q, thus gaining huge market share from current Gorilla INTC? Sorry about the dumb question but I would like to know if I am all wet on this thought or if it could be a reality. As these WIA's get smaller and smaller, won't there be a need to integrate the normal semi chip and the ASIC? TIA! MileHigh/Long Q
