First, snapdragon has different branch prediction protocol; has to use i386 Linux kernels. Then it supports cdma for wireless connection. It also supports gsm in wcdma. Not knowing the special design caused ASUS to fail on operating system adaptation. In china, cdma is only used for their army.

Hopefully with cdma implementation, snapdragon will have some market share on cdma microwave towers. If only Qualcomm has demo reference circuit and operating system that manufacturers of smartphones and tablets can use properly?

The advantage of having cdma and wcdma is that if one is busy in your area; you can switch to the other wireless system, if your telco has unlimited accounts.

EdgeQam channels are wcdma in nature. Eventually edgeQam can use cdma tone generated carriers to increase edgeQam channels.

Qualcomm may go back to $500 stockwise(now $43 since 2001).
