Jim, a few months ago, I was wondering what type of wireless appliances are coming down the pipe line, especially any killer apps. Now it is apparent that QCOM would not be working on the appliance end but rather backbone and the delivery of the pipeline to these future appliances. I have no idea if there is some geek in some garage somewhere, working on something that we all cannot live without in a few years. My question is would these "inventors" have to be licensees or can you just buy some MSM5000 chips and develop your appliance around it? If they have to be licensees, then it should be possible to just look at the current licensee list and see who is doing what at this time. Wouldn't this serve as a good indicator of QC's progress in the data arena? Aside from above, how would you (or anyone) measure QC's growth in the next generation wireless technology. Ramsey

Interesting bit of speculation re: earlier topic Symbian/Psion (BlueTooth/Qcom/...): <<LONDON, AFX via NewsEdge Corporation : Shares in Psion PLC were sharply higher by midday on speculation that its Symbian venture is set to announce a major new licencee for its core EPOC operating system, dealers said. That new licencee is thought to be 3Com Corp -- manufacturer of the Palm Pilot machines, they said. Symbian was set up by Psion last year to develop the operating system for next generation mobile phones and handheld devices. It is 28.1 pct held by Psion, with Ericsson, Nokia and Motorola each holding 21 pct and with Matsushita having an 8.8 pct stake.>> Message 11458820
