In fact, the Yahoo profile lists Infineon as a "component" of Siemans AG. I think Toshiba is adding software to run the Infineon chip and doing the mechnicals and testing to bring the handset into production. All nicely licensed by Q of course.

do you remember that wonderful chip (UMTS/EDGE/GPRS) by Infineon?
----------

Mighty,

Sure - here it is:

infineon.com

EricJ was trying to use Infinion the other day on the Buy Range board as evidence of existing wCDMA chipsets - and the overall health and vitality of wCDMA... rather sad it was the best he could do...

To me, NTT's CEO's confession placed all in context. King NTT has clearly researched wCDMA longer and is farther ahead than European players (who appear presently diverted with trying to make GPRS handsets function). I now don't believe we'll see anything more substantive than a press release out of NTT in May 2001.

Now Siemens, father to Infineon, requires assistance from LG for wCDMA.. Their TD-SCDMA must be in the same boat...

It may be longer before Q sees royalties from from the GSM crowd, but for the first time I believe complete, utter capitulation - and resultant absolute victory for Q and CDMA2000 is actually possible.

It would be worth waiting for.
