CW,

Do you still consider CDMA and Qualcomm to be in a tornado given recent CDMA growth reports?

Those are two questions -- one for CDMA and one for Qualcomm.

Regarding CDMA, the tornado is in progress, but barely so now that it has reduced to 100% annual growth. And today's announcement that will increase the price of handsets in Korea, CDMA's largest growth area that has accounted recently for 30% of growth, could stunt total growth enough to place it slightly below tornado level.

Reagarding Qualcomm being in a tornado, companies aren't in tornados. Only products are. I see HDR as the next tornado. Previously I was hoping that HDR and CDMA might be in tornado-phase growth at the same time, but I think it's more likely that the CDMA winds will die down before HDR winds get to that stage.

Your thoughts?
