Ok thanks. I like to see QCOM addressing the whole cell sector. If I could change one thing about QCOM it would be less animosity toward them from the other side, making life simpler for them is way to do that. Greg

From the announcement it sounds like the ZIF capabilities will be available for all technologies including GSM. Why would Qualcomm license its ZIF technology to those in the GSM or TDMA camp? If it works, it confers "an estimated 20 percent improvement in talk times for CDMA handsets." Why extend those types of benefits to those on non-CDMA2000 technology? Beyond a short term benefit of some modest license revenue from the dark siders, Qualcomm should want to reserve such technology for its CDMA2000 value chain. saukriver
