Gamer,there is a lot more involved than Qualcomm producing a product. Once that product is sampled then the OEM's take a few months to decided to develop a device around it. Once that decision is done, then the actual OEM design process starts and that can take another 6 months. Once the OEM device is done then it has to undergo various testing by potential customers. Once the testing is done, a customer (carrier) releases an order which then allows the OEM to start production. Another 3 months goes by while the OEM fills up the pipeline and ships products to the carriers. Then the carriers start advertising and guess what?? You might sell some some day. Slacker is right, there is no comparison between Apple and Qualcomm. For Qualcomm not to announce their roadmap plan would be suicide.
