John, yes, well Qcom is mighty in theory relative to potential implementation of their you know what.

where does that put Dell on the mighty scale?

interesting that Michael Dell stated he was working on GPRS (TDMA) based product signatures for the PC with no public mention of you know what (of course GPRS is the data upgrade to the current 85% world market share of wireless digital handsets - GSM/TDMA; ADI made the same decision with their Othello and now WCDMA baseband design).

one problem with 2.5g-3g you-know-what is DSP computation speed without utilizing a system on a chip design solution; specifically for the handset. Qcom has spoken nare about SYoChs. Q's 3g solutions continue a path utilizing concurrent Q designs. they need to get with it; and as they've stated yesterday, break into the other 85% world market share.

let's see if Q, as did Dell, can now "humble" (that's a hard word) themselves to acquire the necessary licensing agreements to enter the GSM/GPRS product realm. Ubinetics did. Ubinetics is presenting their GPRS product designs to several big Euro players; wouldn't doubt that this also included Dell.
