Joe: We haven't chatted about this for a while. What do you think? Does 23 this week seem realistic, or do you think it will moosh around between 20 and 22 for a long while longer?

Joe - If there is one company that is unlikely to be using the new CDMA chip in volume it is Ericsson. There are only two CDMA systems in wide production (CDMAOne and to a much lesser extent, B-CDMA) and Ericsson is not on either team. In fact they are currently engaged in a game of corporate chicken with Qualcomm (the primary inventor of CDMAOne) over CDMA. And as far as I know the only CDMA chips that VLSI is working on are for CDMAOne.

PS A small note. Ericsson recently purchased a company that is making handsets for Globalstar, which is CDMA. So, in that sense they might be using some chips, but it is unlikely to be many since it is exclusively for G*.

Joe,

From what I know, the new CDMA chip will be extremely successful. It is more tightly integrated than anything available from Qualcomm, Sony, DSPC, or anyone else. And VLSI has design wins from several major CDMA handset manufacturers, but Clark is right, Ericsson is not one of them because they do not support the Qualcomm standard. Jim
