When Greg Delagi became head of Wireless at TI over two years ago, TI was number one and the future looked rosy. Since he took the helm, however, the business has been going down the toilet and key people have fled his organization. TI decision making isn’t what it used to be.

Err…nav. The 1st three haven’t been released. Palm is in for a tough fight with Apple & RIM not to mention SE. Finally, Idou and Omnia compete in the niche smartphone segment focused more on multi-media processing power rather than innovative interface (IPhone) or business smartphone(RIM). Lastly, Archos isn’t a smartphone.

OMPAP is NOT winning in the leading smart phones vendors. That would be blackberry and iphone. Let’s how long TI can keep Sony-Ericson.

I think it is ludicrous to think that TI will be able to compete in the cellular market with a processor only venue. TI succeeded in the past because if you have the entire solution you can price it a lot better than if you only have OMAP. OMAP is not winning ANY of the smart phones today.

TI never had a good RF CMOS solution. Yet, Silicon Labs who was one of the best and yet they were unable to compete because TI could leverage pricing with a platform offering. I have no doubt this will be the case with Qualcom and ST who will also have their own processors (just as good as OMAP if not better) AND they will be able to offer an entire solution with very good price and even more so IF the cellular maker takes THEIR processor as well. That used to be TI’s own strategy……
