They may be one of the few who (even though it's not evident now) could come up with a decent CDMA ASIC. Yeah, but the key differentiator has been timely introduction of leading edge features. EIA/TIA-95B MDR (64kbps forward link packet data) for instance in Japan has made the difference. Great progress on 1x cdma2000 now... QCOM's MSMs do it successfully both in the labs and commercially... others are yet to demonstrate commercial viability. Sure, there are CDMA MSM efforts abound, but QCOM will continue to stay ahead of the competition. BTW, Denso is also a QCOM licensee. Their US phones sport QCOM's chips. Regards, -sr
