higher attach rate for WCDMA transceivers than they do for CDMA transceivers. what does that mean, attach rate? The attach rate is the percentage of handset manufacturers that choose to use a Qualcomm transceiver (or separate transmit and receive chips) to go along with the baseband chipset. I'm probably skating on thin ice with my knowledge of this stuff since I have never looked at it closely....but Skyworks seems to offer CDMA transmit and receive chips. skyworksinc.com I would guess that Qualcomm's attach rate is probably already pretty high, but with WCDMA/HSDPA it might be near 100%. The rapidly evolving standards and integration probably makes it very difficult for any third parties to develop competing products. Slacker
