For a dozen years a lot of companies have gone nowhere in market capitalisation, Qualcomm among them [ups and downs notwithstanding] while others have come from nowhere and done what it's surprising incumbents didn't do. Nokia replaced by Apple. Facebook Eudora went away and Gmail/Google are ubiquitous many others Why is it so hard for companies to imagine something new and wanted by everyone and then do it? Mqurice
