Are you going to make a single chip phone solution? There are only three possible answers to this question: 'Yes', 'No', and 'Maybe'. Below is STMicroelectronics' answer to the question:
"Our product portfolio is focused on feature-rich phones: a system solution based on a combination of ST owned and customer co-developed devices. This segment is growing driven by the replacement of mobile terminals, availability of multimedia services and the continuous push for improvements in operators' Average Revenue Per User (ARPU). The drivers in feature-rich segments are product features and platform pre-integration availability which enables fast time-to-market. Cost optimization and superintegration will play a role in the medium term. At the low end, the volumes are significantly rising in emerging markets where communications infrastructures are developing fast and the cost optimization and superintegration (single chip) are a must. Here we are not competing with our own feature-rich solutions but we provide technologies and IPs to our customers for CMOS superintegration".
I think that's a No.
