This posturing in Korea is a joke! I need a vacation, "No marginmike." I just hope when I'm gone I don't get a "marginmike" call from my broker. I appreciate your spirit and confidence with respect to Qualcomm. I just hope there will be at least a minor recovery in the stock to give me an opportunity to remove the last vestiges of margin. Then I'll be able to maintain a vested interest in this company that I so richly admire. I've enjoyed our exchanges this evening. Good night. - john -

Well, heres an idea: From Jeff Pulvers newsletter: One of the reasons I enjoy visiting Scandinavia is that while I believe the US is 18-24 months behind in wireless technology adoption, it is the kids of Scandinavia who are predictive of future US wireless trends. (I also believe this to be true in predicting US Music industry trends.) This in turn has led me into looking into interactive gaming on cell phones, since this is a trend still being played out on the streets of Oslo, Stockholm and Helsinki. This trend is also observed on the streets of Tokyo. In fact, according to NTT DoCoMo, more than 50% of the data usage on iMode is entertainment related. In other interactive media, "interactive entertainment" is virtually synonymous with games. It is enlightening to note that while most streaming media and similar entertainment sites on the Web have yet to real money, game sites from Lycos Gamesville to Sony's EverQuest have been profitable. As the wireless data market develops, the same is likely to be true in the United States. 3G may bring us video over the air, but profits are more likely to come from services that let people interact with each other, like games and short messaging services. In Europe, there have been at least a dozen wireless game start-ups including Picofun ( picofun.com ) Digital Bridges ( wirelessgames.com ) and Riot-e ( riot-e.com ) but to date not much activity in the US. This trend is a little strange because while the US may lag in wireless technology, it is far stronger in the games industry than Europe. I've recently started to stumbled upon US based companies addressing this emerging gaming marketplace. To date I've found two companies - pogo.com ( pogo.com ) and Unplugged Games ( ungames.com ). I am certain other US based start-ups will be entering the space and into the entertainment business of wireless gaming. ---------------------------------------------------------- If AOL is smart, they will develop the European model; getting kids on webphones and playing games. They've got the MTV crowd. Link it up thru VZ and Sprint and let ATT and the rest eat crow..

just In Case,,Qualcomm announced the MSM5200, a chipset that supports the W-CDMA standard. W-CDMA, a direct-sequence technology that is basically an upgrade to GSM, will be deployed in Europe, Japan, and in parts of Asia and the United States. Qualcomm didn't disclose the product specifications for the MSM5200, but the announcement gives it a potential chip offering in two of the three 3G camps. Qualcomm recently unveiled the MSM5100, which supports the multicarrier form of CDMA, also known as cdma2000. Both chips will be based on a 32-bit RISC core from ARM Ltd. The MSM5100 will be shipped early next year, while the MSM5200 will be available in 2001. Qualcomm may have reversed its strategy to back W-CDMA after recently settling its patent dispute with Sweden's L.M. Ericsson. Under those terms, Qualcomm gained access to Ericsson's GSM technology. Meanwhile, Ericsson obtained CDMA technology from Qualcomm and agreed to buy its infrastructure business. Qualcomm announced the MSM5200, a chipset that supports the W-CDMA standard.
