<< Hmm. I don't disagree, but I wonder. Just VERY rough figures: around $200.00 a unit, 2-4 million units have been sold. That equals $400-800million over 2-3 quarters. >> The retail price of the PalmPilot doesn't all go to COMS as revenue. Remember, COMS has to sell them at a discount to their distributors for a mark-up to you the consumer. Second of all, there weren't 2-4 million units sold this quarter were there? That figure is units sold to date, correct? So some of the revenues from the PalmPilot have already been recognized in previous quarters.
