Darrel Corpgold - some examples of semantic agility well molly and buxious. you certainly are having fun with my so-called semantics; even while you toy with artificial misunderstanding yourselves. your information, although generally correct, does not address the issue of a fully integrated ASIC which incorporates several functionalities for the handset or handheld, be that softcore or hardcore ASIC. How can we have artificial understandings and be generally correct. Were we addressing fully integrated ASICs? No!! We were addressing WAP, TDD, HDR and (fundamentally) the ridiculous linkage of IDC to a NOK press release. Leave ASIC's out of the argument for now. More nuggets..... From DS post #4053 "WAP is NOT supported by all players (read ERICY announcement on RCRnews today)." You wanted to leave the reader with the impression that ERICY didn't support WAP - an impression NOT endorsed in your referenced article, by the way... From DS post #4057 "of course ERICY supports WAP; " ------------------- From DS post #4053 "WAP has everything to do with TDD. " From DS post #4057 "of course WAP is airlink agnostic." You can't get more 180 degrees than that ------------------ How long do you think you can continue to have so little respect for the readers of this thread, playing them for fools? Are you a descendant of PT Barnum? w.

you boys come across as angry young men. chill out. LOL. If there is a porpoise to the fantasies of mammals like Molly and Buxie, it is beyond me. How else can you justify the incomprehensible hots the dim duo have for a nifty but narrowband add-on tech like HDR with a restrictive royalty structure when, as we speak, some deep hooks and common platform elements are being tested and retested between fixed and mobile 3G WCDMA and 4G in the 7 or 8 wideband CDMA REAL WORLD trials going on around the world. Forrester Research estimates that a full-blown deployment of 2.5 GPRS (85%) globally would cost about $100 billion. That's not an inconsequential number. One only needs to consider that infrastructure and handsets combined accounted for about $100 billion in global revenues last year. Moreover, wireless voice is STILL driving demand and wireless data requires supply lines to align behind superior economies of scale, standards (global frequencies, protocols, circuit/IP) to be evolved and better price-performance. There seems to be no way but to be oblique with these arelevant IDC-bashing charlatans. In view of the fact that the ITU will formalize the specifications of each of the 5 standards in the 3G family of standards in a couple of weeks (3/7 to 3/10), this article about architecture might be relevant to understanding the larger order of things: Life and Complexity in Architecture From a Thermodynamic Analogy Nikos A. Salingaros math.utsa.edu Architecture affects mankind in a predictable way, and it has its own set of fundamental laws. We have proposed three laws for architecture that are based on the work of Christopher Alexander. An analysis of architectural forms distinguishes three different aspects: (1) the small scale; (2) the large scale; and (3) linking all the intermediate scales together through hierarchical coherence. This paper examines how the small and large scales contribute to the success of a building independently of HIERARCHICAL COHERENCE......
