Samsung?
I'm actually surprised that Samsung was willing to join the litigants.
Qualcomm could just as easily turn to Intel for foundry services, or perhaps TSMC. They could also grant HTC 6 months exclusive use of all new chips, in a similar deal to what Samsung enjoys now.
That could very well end the galaxy line. I'll bet this exact discussion has taken place many times between members of Qualcomm's board.
