TD, frankly, when I first saw the pdQ, the Q phone and the thin phone, I would throw away the first two and concentrate on the thin phone. The pdQ is, in my opinion, just a necessity as a test for technology and bandwidth to catch up before it would be of any practical use. I hope QC did not allocate too much production resources toward making this product. The Q phone is, I guess, the designer line. The thin phone is going to be the money maker. Jacobs and Sulpizio both emphasized numerous times that it is cheap to produce. We are entering the price war stage of wireless. The thin phone is going to be the weapon of choice. So I almost consider pdQ a R&D expense right now and any money they make is pure gravy. Sure hope wall street thinks the same way and not too much weight on the pdQ. Ramsey
