Mq...Why does Q have to manufacture its own phones? The outsourced model has built a foothold in the pc world. I understand that to a large extent this is the way things are done already, Q designs ASICS and they're pumped out at IBM, they design the plastic housing and someone else moulds it, the connectors come from somewhere else, etc, that QPE really just assembles the phones. Couldn't someone else who specializes in assembly, say in ASIA perhaps, do this more efficiently than Q? What am I missing?..DMG
