Featured Broker sponsored link NEW YORK, Jan 20 (Reuters) - Wireless chip and technology supplier Qualcomm Inc's (QCOM.O) Chief Executive Paul Jacobs said in a television interview with CNBC that "business continues to be strong" in the cell phone industry. While Qualcomm had said in November that its customers were looking to reduce inventory on concerns about consumer demand, Jacobs said on Monday that Qualcomm's cashflow "continues to be strong" and that people were still buying high-end cellphones known as smartphones despite the weak global economy. The executive also said he expects 25 percent growth in handset shipments this year compared with last year. Qualcomm shares were up 61 cents at $34.75 in after-hours trading after closing down 5.2 percent, or $1.88, in regular trade on Nasdaq before Jacobs spoke.

SAG, re: "Paul Jacobs had good things to say about Qualcomm's business" The 3 minute CNBC video is now up>>>> cnbc.com Re: newswire quoting 25% handset growth- Paul was specifically refering to QCOM's handset growth targets-- 3G -- transition of 2G to 3G. IOWs- CDMA2x + 3GSM (WCDMA/UMTS) I should add that perhaps Maria B, and others, might question the 25% handset growth metric when the concensus is drastically different--- showing negative growth. Hopefully the 25% growth metric will cause some heads to turn--- and ask how could this be possible? - Hopefully- the financial media will finally take notice, spend some time to delve into the unique QCOM story.
