Qualcomm monoculture is "killing American wireless"

some highlights:

We were astonished to learn, after speaking to representatives from Samsung and Kyocera which are launching interesting PalmOS-based smartphones that the industry is waiting on Bluetooth-capable chipsets from Qualcomm. What, just the one supplier?

Clearly then, 1X data is not a "wireless". The need to use (multiple) cables makes it not even mobile. At best we could cal 1X data portable. Connecting cables makes a mockery of "always connected" technology. The supposed speed advantage of 1X over GPRS is irrelevant if you can't get the data out of the phone.

Nit-pickers - so what happens when Qualcomm releases a Bluetooth (over-rated/over-ranted technology as it - UWB will be far better than Bluetooth can ever hope to be), what will they complain about then?
It can be argued that Qualcomm is one the most highly-innovative wireless companies around.
Counter techno-snobbery: Qualcomm's location technology, its A-GPS gpsONE chipset not only works, but is more accurate than the European developed E-OTD.
GPRS is less spectrally efficient than 1XRTT and is often constrained/throttled down in favor of voice capacity.

Another Verizon Qualcomm Ditto Monkey Whore.....dumb assess betting on a WW11 technology.

instead of showering mediocre insults why dont you back up some of your statements. please do tell us how cdma is an outdated technology when in reality all evidence and real world applications are showing that cdma and cdma2000 are far superior technologically to anything else. i am all ears.

Hardly, I don't use Verizon or any flavor of CDMA. You are quite eloquent aren't you? Sorry, "eloquent" must be a new word for you.

Y'know, I *knew* there was something different. HUZZAH!

actually the guy in the original article seems to be a liar. i posted this info on HF and then found this out

"the msm 3300, 5100, 5500, 6600 chipsets all support bluetooth.

the man who wrote the article is a fool, he failed to do proper research and made several judgements about americans without providing proof or facts to support his opinions"


it seems as though people will say anthing to make their argument look good.

why do all these liberal minded countries hate the U.S. so much?? are they jealous or something? They always rant about how america is ruining the world when all the evidence always points in the other direction.
