You're right that Gregg would be the source on that point. I figure he's either taking a well earned mental health break pursuant to his recent outburst on an unsuspecting wmolloy or he and his partners - having figured out the the likely impact of the increasingly eminent Japanese meltdown - are busy divesting themselves and their clients.

In an earlier post Greg eluded to the fact that they had Contract and were paying Q. I dont know if it was fact or assumption on his part. I do find it odd that VLSI press releases are very confrontational against Qcom technology. If they were indeed working with Q, they would be more subtle. I think VLSI will be bought by either Erickson or MOT. I had the stock until recently, and am seriously considering returning.
