Maybe posters should show the same respect for other people's property that Qualcomm demands for its own.
Gee, what a radical thought!!! |

Nortel is part of Ericsson;
Motorola is part of Nokia Siemens;
Lucent is part of Alcatel-Lucent.
I also noticed the CDG still hasn't published the subscriber numbers for the 4th quarter of 2010. Gee, it's May 1, I wonder why they're not available since CDMA is, like everyone knows, growing gangbusters. |

| From: veritas501 | 6/5/2011 6:18:03 PM | | | | | | Well, the CDG has finally come clean on CDMA subscriber figures.
The year over year increase in CDMA subscribers is 9.28% or 49 million.
Latin America declined again. North America increased by just 9.5 million subscribers, the smallest increase since December 1997. Africa declined too.

Here's the question: When does optimism turn into fraud? |

From Wired Magazine:
Black-and-white e-readers are limiting while full color LCD displays such as those in tablets like the iPad can be power hungry and tough on the eyes. That’s why Qualcomm is betting that a new hybrid device that bridge the two worlds could be in the hands of consumers early next year....With Mirasol, Qualcomm is hoping it can give companies such as Amazon that are reportedly looking beyond black-and-white e-readers an attractive option....A “major client has already started the design-in process,” using Mirasol, says DigiTimes.

Mirasol Display Fixing To Shine Brightly For Qualcomm

From Engadget:
Our Qualcomm rep personally views dedicated e-readers as merely a "head fake," and that the category isn't going to be around for long -- which seems to imply that he sees Mirasol being used for a lot more than thumbing through a virtual novel or magazine.

These are from a cursory search of Google of "Mirasol." |

Mirasol, Mirasol, where art thou?? |

It's been given a rating of 3.5 stars by its users.
Doesn't look like Mirasol will be taking the world by storm. |

I think QCOM did pretty well this quarter even with their mistake on Mirasol. It's a good thing that they have $26B (or something like that) on the books when they make a $1B mistake. When you swing for the fences you are bound to strike out from time to time. At least they are in the game. It seems you prefer to be an umpire though. |
