Qcom mgmt cosistently assumes 10-15% decline. I guess they are wrong-g-. The bigest area of growth will be in Asia where Chinese co's will mass produce $50-100 phones

I have never bought a computer for less than $3000 unless you are buying a very special computer for gaming or a workstation, or unless the last time you bought a computer was five years ago, how can you spend $3000? 95% of users can get more than they need out of a $500 machine. the ASP decline in computers is staggering, and it is only through manipulation in the form of hedonic pricing that government statisticians have managed to keep productivity figures up. back in the early 90s, i remember reading in PC Mag that the computer you want always costs $5000. that was true back then, and a decent machine cost $3000. but nowadays, i couldn't see any point in spending over $1000, even if i was just "throwing money at" a machine.
