Paul, re: DoCoMo is THE LEADING EDGE in cell phones and infrastructure in Japan - and the fact that an Intel processor is powering the NEC-made cell phones for DoCoMos 3G is a great achievement for Intel. Yes, good news. Maybe a few of those many acquisition dollars will turn into very profitable businesses. Maybe... John

Ref - <"that NEC Corp , Japan's biggest cellphone maker, was using an Intel processor in third-generation (3G) handsets for NTT DoCoMo Corp , Japan's dominant wireless carrier." This is a MAJOR SUCCESS. DoCoMo is THE LEADING EDGE in cell phones and infrastructure in Japan - and the fact that an Intel processor is powering the NEC-made cell phones for DoCoMos 3G is a great achievement for Intel " I agree with your statement. This spate of recent Intel Design Wins for Handheld computing and the design win for the premier 3G Cell phone maker, implies that Intel's wirelesss communication strategy is gaining momentum. The next biggest thing is indeed Handheld Computing and the Wired Handheld device, so I agree that this achievement has a lot of positive implications. Handheld computing and Cell telephones will converge into one device and the DoCoMo design win may be comparable to the design win for the first IBM PC. I was in Japan two weeks ago, and I got to see the DoCoMo phones at the stores. It is cute and a slick looking thing, although I would prefer a larger screen, but the Japanese have a fetish for making things small. The download speed is phenomenal.It has a reasonably good built in PDA, which I could not operate, since everything was in Japanese. This product is preview of future combination PDA -cell phones! Too bad that there are no immediate plans for 3G wireless in USA. This will allow Japanese phone makers to develop and refine the 3G technology unopposed, and ultimately dominate the 3G market. In any case Intel's design win says that Intel has a good shot at elbowing out TI from its dominant position in the cellular phone Digital Signal Processing Market.
