Clappy-re: Q... Thanks much, my friend ;-). Watch this........ Message 13929863 Q + NOK??? IMHO, don't be surprised. Q* is vulnerable!!! Raised this issue on the Q* board a few weeks prior. .000000009 cent worth ;-). vegie -------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Ruffian's post on the main Q board*: Thanks much, Michael* . Highlighted: >>> The more I think about it, the more it makes sense for Q merger w/ Nok or Ericson. ....................................... Message 14034961 >>> To: Mucho Maas who wrote (76412) From: Ruffian Wednesday, Jul 12, 2000 3:54 PM ET Reply # of 76420 Just got back from Telematics booth. The release plan is mix of GPS, cellular, text to voice, voice recognition, close proximity wireless and MP3. Start w/ Sprint Motorola in 2001 w/ voice recognition and follow up with embedded system allowing PDA and notebook access to internet 2002/3. The MP3 and close proximity wireless (in-vehicle positional commerce)is right up QCOM alley - Q-Tunes and Snaptrak. The JV partner(s) will be annouced end of this month. I also stopped by ATT, Ericcson (same booth as ATT) and Vodafone. They did not have the right people there but they thought that they were working on something with Telematics. Vodafones is ok but ATT troubles me. I went back to Telematics to confirm deal w/ Sprint. He said that was for initial phase, remainder is up in the air. Telematics had the guts of the system on display with the chips taped up. If you know what Q chipset looks like you can figure out which technology they will use -- CDMA or GSM/TDMA. I assume all these are public info, no inside info are being disclosed. If you are really antsy and willing to bug the reps, you may want to attend tomorrow. I think I'm allowed to escort you in. Adding 2+2, I get 4.5 -- that is Q is involved, but Nok and others may also be involved. Remember, we have to support Europe as well. The more I think about it, the more it makes sense for Q merger w/ Nok or Ericson. You can post this on Q board. I think your post will get more vis. What do you think about merger feasibility? How would Europe be deployed? From a GOOD friend........ <<<
