While talking about chips and bits, whatever happened to PA Semiconductor? Apple bought them for some reason. Perhaps they are making a multi-baseband IC for Apple widgets alone. It would let them sample internally, so no analyst would really hav…

I think the analyst is right about a WCDMA/CDMA/LTE chipset timeframe. But for a "worldphone" that works on WCDMA/CDMA alone, doesn't the Qualcomm Gobi already do that? You can get that chipset already as an embedded module for laptops, Xpress ca…

I don't know about a mini-iPhone, but the silicon they're talking about in the report already is available: the Qualcomm Gobi. Qualcomm I am sure would love to sell a few million Gobi's, and Apple would love a true worldphone they can distribute as …

I don't think Apple would crank out a CDMA iPhone and a GSM iPhone simultaneously. Its just not their style. The iPhone 3GS silicon is so integrated and designed around GSM (which is a cranky thing these days from a silicon POV, quad band = four amp…

I can see why the iPod Touch is being kept...er, "neutered" for the time being. This platform is being phased out as the premium mini-puter offering I bet, probably for the tablet. The Touch will eventually morph into a "game" machine/media box and …

Quote: Conversely Verizon's network will not match AT&T's network as it is part of a WORLDWIDE GSM network which can be used almost any country. 50% of iPhone sales are outside the US, if the iPhone went with Verizon those sales wouldn't exi…

ATT's network is never going to quite match up with Verizon's, at least when you compare their respective strategies. AT&T invests heavily not just in subsidizing the iPhone, but in multitudes of specialty devices. AT&T has the best device c…
