There are also better microprocessor designs for personal computers than Intel's, but that's all they are and will ever be. A number of companies have the capability to make a better chip than Intel's latest design, but would you buy a computer with one of these chip? What software would there be to run on it?

Cax, << Sooner or later the world is going to realize that 1X is faster than DoCoMos 3G and GPRS and increases capacity at the same time.>> Say what? 1X what? Certainly 1xRTT is faster than GPRS and increases capacity at the same time. But ... 1xRTT as it exists today or any time in the near future sure as heck isn't faster than DoCoMos 3G as it existed June 1st or today. Downlink was 384 kbps from day one and uplink 64 kbps in packet mode with 64/64 in circuit witched mode on both Qualcomm's (and CDG's) executives did NOT do themselves or their share holders a service by disseminating that misinformation or misinformation on several occasions including data for that Ovum whitepaper that said FOMA would be max 64 kbps. According to that whitepaper, WCDMA would offer these data rates on this schedule: 64 kbps 2002 144 kbps 2003 384 kbps 2003 2000 kbps 2003 Now the paper was authored by Ovum but who sourced Ovum? When this paper was published and used DoCoMo executives had already stated several times publicly that they would launch with 384 kbps data rates. Not good, IMO. Credibility gap. - Eric -
