InterDigital Inc (IDCC)

Badgerkid, I, like you, would not be surprised to see IDCC announce Apple as the co that they have their design win with though, if it is, I think it will be in an Apple computer of some sort rather than the iphone. For IDCC to announce a design win "in the first half of 2008", there is very little time left for that to happen; less than 30 days.

Surely the shorts can see, not just by the strength of the share price but also because of the converging clouds preceding a potential "perfect storm" to drive up the price of IDCC's shares.

* Potential for IDCC to announce additional licencing revenues due to 3G iphone.

* Potential for announcement of specific computer mfr to announce SlimChip design win.

* Potential for favorable ruling from Samsung arbitration

* Potential for Samsung negotiated settlement soon.

* Potential for increasing revenues due to royalties/licensing fees from chip manufactures, especially IFX

* Potential increase in revenues from licensing from growth of smart phone manufacturers. etc..

Realistically, what do the shorts have to look forward to in terms of additional profit from shorting IDCC? (unless its to drive down the price in preparation for a buyout bid.) There has got to be better candidates that don't have IDCC's risk factor
