Motorola Ditches Qualcomm, Cuts R&D
Moto is switching to Texas Instruments for their cell radios, primarily because of “business reasons.” I’d bet dollars to donuts that one of those “business reasons” is that Qualcomm is looking like they’re never going to get out We believe Motorola’s decision was purely business as our technical contacts had suggested many Qualcomm-based [third-generation] WCDMA designs in the pipeline and a general preference amongst Motorola designers for Qualcomm, despite the higher pricing. Our checks reveal that Motorola found Qualcomm “hard to do business with,” which we interpret as either too high-priced, or also having something to do with the royalty rates.

LG to make Windows Mobile Smartphones?
We’ve been awfully hard on Broadcom here at WMExperts, mainly because we (ok, me, for various reasons) A recent sign of Broadcom’s newfound footing in basebands came May 31, when Broadcom said it and Microsoft (MSFT), the world’s largest software company, had jointly created a design center in Taiwan where the companies will develop basebands that run Microsoft’s Windows Mobile software.... But Starkweather says Korea’s LG Electronics asked Broadcom and Microsoft to work together and that Microsoft is spending as much on the center with Broadcom as it has on comparable efforts with TI and Qualcomm.

Rant: gpsOne is Not GPS
Pardon my rant: I joined in the crowd talking about the FCC approval of the ho-hum HTC Iris because it’s out there in the blogosphere and we here at WMExperts are super hip with the blogosphere, natch. I’m seeing it reported that the Iris has GPS.

AIEE! New Qualcomm 3G chips (and the phones that contain them) Banned
Ok, ok, breathe. It's not as bad as all that.... right? Here's the skinny: the International Trade Commission ruled that Qualcomm's 3G chips (which are to be found a a bunch of phones, especially on Sprint and Verizon) infringe on some Broadcom patents. They banned future imports to the US - but phones that have already been imported or approved are fine. That *should* mean that roapmaps for upcoming devices shouldn't change in the short term. In the long term, Qualcomm needs to get this little dispute taken care of.
The International Trade Commission said late on Thursday that the Qualcomm chips infringed a patent owned by Broadcom Corp. (BRCM.O: Quote, Profile , Research) and barred U.S. sales of phones containing the chips that are not already being imported.
Read: Qualcomm shares up as ITC ban not as bad as feared
Here's a funny twist, though, the best hope that Qualcomm (and their buddy Verizon) have for fixing this this ASAP? The President of the United States:Both Qualcomm and Verizon already have said publicly that they plan to ask President Bush to overturn the ITC ruling, and will ask a federal appeals court to grant an emergency stay to prevent the ruling from taking effect until the President rules on the appeal.
