When Qualcomm Inc. talks, people listen.
So when Qualcomm recently announced that its "Gobi'' embedded connectivity module had been certified by AT&T Mobility for the latter's network and that Hewlett-Packard Co. and Panasonic had signed on to include Gobi in some of their new laptops, it sounded good perhaps even the ramp-up to global domination within two years forecast by Qualcomm.
