John, and this extreme variety: Nokia sells a very small basic GSM/WCDMA/CDMA2000/Bluetooth tranceiver for next to nothing, let's say $15 - it works very well with several other devices that has nothing but Bluetooth inside, also sold by Nokia but much more expensive! They have great displays, sound, keyboard, chockful of games and other software, voice recognition, radio & TV tuner, you name it. They have no CDMA, no WCDMA, no GSM inside, just Bluetooth.. Maybe they communicate in some sort of encrypted way. What would the QCOM revenue be? I guess it may be covered by the license agreement but surely QCOM doesn't get any share of the selling price of a laptop (or a car) just because you connect a cell phone to it. Lars
