I have an LTE question. So the iPhone might come out in China (is this td-scdma?), and the phone might have a qualcomm chip in it. If both those are true then does qualcomm make another chip besides the mdm9615 (which was due late 2011) that supports all these different modes? Assuming Apple makes a "world" phone, which I think they probably will.

The new chipsets will support LTE Category 4, offering up to 150 Mbps downlink data rates and 50 Mbps uplink data rates. Other standards supported by the MDM9625 chipset include HSPA+ Release 9, EV-DO Revision B, EV-DO Advanced and TD-SCDMA, while the MDM9225 chipset supports HSPA+ Release 9 and TD-SCDMA. In areas without LTE coverage, the chipsets will fall back on these other standards.

The MDM9625 and MDM9225 chipsets can be used with Qualcomm’s WTR1605 radio frequency IC and PM8018 power management ICs to create a highly-integrated mobile broadband solution. Samples of the MDM9625 and MDM9225 chipsets are anticipated to be available in Q4 2011.
