Eric, you asked- "Let me ask again. Have you seen a formal product announcement or even a roadmap for a combo cdma/W-Fi chip from Qualcomm?" It looked like a "formal" product announcement to me. A webcast from an "analyst" conference for the world to see indicates to me that Qualcomm has announced their intention to incorporate WiFi (802.11 WAN) on their chipsets. Do you want me to run down the street and ask Dr. I J to sign that briefing chart with an inscription "to satisfy Eric L"? (LOL) Eric you also stated "Aren't you getting just a bit ahead of yourself and Qualcomm?" In response my comment to the question "What is the edge for these WiFi technologies?", in which I replied- >>>>> I guess I don't see the WiFi "edge" yet. I believe that a handset or other devise (pda, laptop, etc) with a chipset (Qualcomm) that can connect to either a 3G carrier network or a WiFi "network" has the edge as it can offer the benefits of both "networks"<<< I don't believe I indicated in any of my prior posts a specific date when that feature would be commercially available as Dr I. J has not shared that with me yet. I'll be sure to bring that up when we meet next. The topic of conversation, again, was regarding "What is the edge for these WiFi technologies?" Have a great weekend- Jim
