Art, my patent pending evaporative cooling system would have avoided your Thin Phone getting hot in parts.

With an ethanol fuel cell, and micro refrigeration system, the heat from the chip would be distributed around the device for greater cooling. As the ethanol converts to water, the water would be evaporated from a hot surface, vented to the air as steam.

So on a cold winter's day, with the dew point of the air low, people would talk on their phone and a little jet of steam would come out the chimney.

Recharging would be a simple matter of squirting some more ethanol into the phone. Ethanol is cheap, easy to carry and available everywhere.

With Snapdragon and Mirasol, the latest Thin Phone and Thin Smartbook [tm] aka Anita [tm] would use very little fuel and wouldn't get hot.

While we wait and wait and wait for some other company to finally get around to producing these devices, Qualcomm could be doing it. Competing with our chip and royalty customers is nothing to worry about. They are welcome to produce devices too if they want to. If they don't want to they can go and make gumboots or something.
