Yeah I'm aware. That's why I labeled it rumor. But there's apparently more to Qualcomm's exit from handsets than to simply say they're selling the business. I guess they expect to retain a small venture in high end items. If anyone can clarify, I'd appreciate it.

.C.: The sale your talking about is for their regular cell phone division...not the satillite system which is different. QCOM will still be going forward with their more advanced system which, as I understand it, will have much more in it then a phone & thus, requiring more battery capacity. This comes from a QCOM source that knows the company very well.
So...I still see QCOM as being in the market for a system that will provide lots of reliable battery power.
Best wishes to you, yours, & all of my lurker buddies out there for a GREAT HOLIDAY SEASON & see you all in Vegas!
