ellis: I don't know what the current situation is but Foxconn was considered to be the primary manufacturer of Apple's 3G iPhone. IDCC does not currently have a license with Foxconn.

In reply to:
Jimlur, Why is everyone so focused on what we receive from AAPL. AAPL doesn't make the phones. IDCC is receiving a decent amount from the manufacturer of the phone, plus revs for the protocol stack, and revs from AAPL. I bet if you add the 3 together it would probably average $1.50 A PHONE. PROBABLY NOT WHAT MOST WANT TO HEAR BUT HOW MANY TIMES CAN IDCC GET PAID OFF 1 PHONE. DO YOU THINK IDCC IS GOING TO RECEIVE A 2 BUCKS FROM THE MANUFACTURER AND 2 BUCKS FROM AAPL, AND THAN RECEIVE WHATEVER THE AMOUNT IS FROM IFX.

Ellismd, All I can say is way back when after the Apple deal was news many investors here thought we were going to get more than what was announced. Rmarchma and TC were both right IMO As is was a fixed fee from Apple. Sure we should have got and will get revenues from Infineon for our stack on their chip in the Apple phone but the fact remains what Apple is paying for each quarter is a fixed fee.

If I'm wrong it will be corrected.
