Lynn, re "This sounds like a little, big-time gamble company." KYO, before the acquisition, was already larger than QCOM in terms of revenue. KYO is obviously well established in Japan, and the market there sure be very large, IMO, let alone the rest of the world. John

Everyone wanted Nokia to buy----Nokia is hardly a household name in the US. I feel like a trader (I own a NOKIA Purchased before QCOM) don't like it and did not know how to pronounce it when I purchased it. "Key-O-Sara" there you go, we can learn. Can you say Toyota. Partner with "Key-O-Sara". This is a good deal, This is a good deal, This is a good deal, This is a good deal, (Write that on the board 100 times and be done with it!!! And like someone said earlier: If the street doesn't like it they can just "Get Over It!" Qualcom is bigger than the hand set.....Maybe bigger without the handset.... SPLIT 4-1Split 4-1, Split 4-1,Split 4-1 Onward and Upward! 500? 500? Who'll give me 600? Voltaire! (1999)600? 600? Who'll give me 700?......going once, going twice 1000? 1000? Who'll give me 1000?

Lynn, relax. Irwin knows what he is doing. That's why we are all in the stock. Does it really matter who has or hasn't heard of the company they are selling too? I don't think that is part of the analysis of this business decision. <H>
