re: samsung announcement.

assume samsung indeed has the product it announced (i.e., it's not vaporware, and there is no trademark issue). would q be entitled to royalties? does this represent an end run around q's patents? if the chip is for high-end products, then isn't it simply a matter of time before fab costs drops and the product becomes available for not only samsung products, but other companies in the cdma market?

comments please.

Yeah, so what's making you so keen-eyed this gloomy morning (at least up here in the NE quadrant of Sprint's under-built out PCS network)? Yes, ASIC.

Best to Sharon, the kids and, yeah, you too. Dolphins seem too strong for Bills, although JJohnson better hope Demetrius Underwood's masochistic affliction doesn't savage the rest of his roster.

>MSM is a Qualcomm trademark. ASIC is the generic term.
Legal papers may already be "on their way" to you, for using the term "MSM" in the same sentence as Samsung.

(Just a little (unfunny) lawyer humor ...)

umm- Have a bottle of MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane)in my hand. I do not see a Qcom mark on it. :-)
