Tell me, Ruffie-boy, did you start the rumor on the Yahoo boards that Nokia and QCOM will strike a chip deal AFTER options expiration Friday. LOL.

By the way, this one had to hurt, huh?

The strategy is akin to aspiring to be the "Intel Inside" of the wireless world. However, Qualcomm's global market share is still closer to that of Apple's Macintosh computer than to the Windows-Intel duopoly market share.


"To me the future viability of CDMA, and whether Qualcomm is a niche or a true global player, is do they get China?" said IDC's Gillot, who believes the Chinese market represents the difference between CDMA reaching 10 percent or 30 percent of the world's population.

30% market share at best? Ouch!
