The other point is Snapdragon is only one component of a multi tier offering. No other supplier I know of has offering that can give you a baseband or a baseband integrated processor that supports any and EVERY standard out there. Dan D.

Slacker -- Snapdragon unit sales can be estimated (roughly) by examining trade journal reports, plus reports from the companies producing equipment that contains the Snapdragon chip. A lot of companies are planning to use Snapdragon chips, but not too many actually have handsets or tablets on the market now. Again, it goes back to my original point that Qualcomm is "working on" all these neat devices, but not selling too many yet. Or, to be more precise, Qualcomm has a lot of processors and radio chips that seem to be very competitive in price and performance, while drawing less current than others, but the number of devices containing these neat chips is still rather low in percentage terms.
