Analyst: 3G Version of iPhone Coming Soon to Europe
Monday, September 10th, 2007 at 4:00 PM - by John Martellaro
Analyst Will Strauss with Forward Concepts said there is no doubt that a 3G version of Apple iPhone is coming soon in Europe, according to the EE Times Europe on Tuesday.
The analyst said an announcement is expected shortly and could come as early as this week. However, the inclusion of the HSDPA technology is uncertain.
"We have, however, confirmed that Infineon Technologies is producing UMTS baseband chips for at least two cellphone companies, and Infineon is also the only non-captive source for WCDMA/UMTS transceiver chips -- and also the biggest producer of GSM/GPRS transceivers, with a third of the world market last year," Mr. Strauss said.
He noted that there is significant Intellectual Property from InterDigital Communications in the 3G iPhone baseband chip likely to be manufactured by Infineon and that Interdigital recently signed a worldwide, non-transferable, non-exclusive, fixed-fee royalty-bearing patent license agreement with Apple.
Some have wondered whether current U.S. iPhones are upgradable to 3G. Apparently they are not, and this prediction now seems to cast further doubt on that possibility for the first iPhones in the U.S. However, 3G capability is virtually a requirement for a mobile phone in Europe.
