If I were Q, I wouldn't include China TD-SCDMA patent royalties in future earnings just yet...

ElM, QCOM has hired a lot of people in China to do R&D [as advocated by me since my BP Oil days in 1986]. So, I am not surprised that spending on R&D in China is up and up some more.

For example siliconinvestor.com China Techfaith includeds QCOM investment. Several thousand people work for the company in China doing R&D.

"Omigo- here come China" is a bit like "Omi-od here comes Global Warming". An article of faith and dread.
