q's accounting change, do you see any reason they would exclude interest income, except to make forward comps easier (due to the fact that they are now getting a much lower interest rate on their short term holdings)? that perspective makes more and more sense to me, although i am willing to entertain alternative explanations. I dont believe that this is what they have done....though I dont think that Qualcomm worded it very well. Here is the top level view of the breakdown in Q's divisions. qualcomm.com Cash is listed under the Other category along with G* and contract services. This made up 3% of core operations on a pro-forma basis. QSI is listed separately and no longer is a part of pro-forma. I believe that the interest income that is being moved to QSI is from carrier loans. Slacker
