As of today, Qualcomm has a market cap of 100 billion dollars. Which is 5 times that of Sony Corporation. There is no way Sony can buy Qualcomm
You are joking right? shares is just hot air nothing more.
Look at share from apple, very hight because.........................it's over hyped garbage nothing more.

@randomuser excuse my complete lack of knowledge on processors, but what is stopping them from using others such as Tegra 3?
Though interesting (and viable) reasons for the price of mint I, I suppose the advantage of them not having SD support is that they can then make a better phone which just more memory...
I think that was discussed here already a few pages back but let me summarize it for you again
1) Tegra 3 is Cortex a9 quad core chip, so its not the fastest/most powerful SoC right now, Snapdragon S4 is. Even though its dual core its based on Cortex A15 equivalent krait architecture so its much faster even with just two cores and also more battery efficient
2) Tegra 3 does not have support for LTE (now they do but not that convenient for OEMs still) whereas Snapdragon S4 comes integrated with cat.3 LTE support
In a single line, Sony won't use Tegra 3 because its outdated and not the best chip in the market right now.

Lets not go overboard here. Is everyone here trying to imply that Qualcomm has more capital than Sony(Sony Entertainment+Sony Theatres+Sony Electronics+Sony Music+etc..)?

We are only talking about current market cap. As far as total assets go Sony has more than 5 times the asset value of Qualcomm. So yes Sony is the bigger company but its market cap is CURRENTLY less than that of Qualcomm. If we compare only total assets then Sony is even bigger than Apple. But that's not important, market cap is.
Also if we compare equity of both companies
Qualcomm Total Equity 2011 - 20.858 billion $
Sony Total Equity 2011 - 30.74 billion $

back to the phones!!!
i'm surprised we haven't really heard anything about mint.. not even rumored specs. i really hope it's worth waiting for. worst case scenario, i suppose i'll pick up a XP at a lower price at that time or a hayabusa if it's all that it's looking to be...

Nikolaus Scheurer Sony Mobile’s Director of Marketing and Planning was interviewed recently by GSMArena.
First regarding flagships Mr Scheurer basically admits that The Xperia S will be the the flagship for six months with another coming out in the second half of the year.
I’m basically implying there will be a new flagship earlier than this because that’s how the market is, right? The Xperia S will be an absolute flagship product, even a half year in and hopefully as well a year from now, we will drive this as an absolute aspiration of the product and it will be portrayed like a hero to our brand. But at the same time you will see product refreshes, new technology, new services, even more Sony going forward.
They have realized that 1 year is too long to come out with a new flagship and he further goes into how this new flagship will come about being a design refresh or same design with new and higher specs to differentiate.
--------
I’m not ruling it out, but there could be something that also expresses the same design philosophy in a different way. I mean, even in half a year, components will change, technical capabilities will change, maybe even the perception of an end consumer in the top end…what you value more. What design traits you value more, services, performance of the device, We want to bring something new to the market.
He reiterates that they promised and will deliver Ice Cream Sandwich to 2011 Xperia Devices and implies that all devices coming out from summer should have it right of the gate.
--------
But it doesn’t matter because we promised, and this is what will stay true, is that from the summer on we will upgrade to Ice Cream Sandwich.
Ice Cream Sandwich to Star roll-out in April.
we really will upgrade all of our portfolio based on Android to Ice Cream Sandwich. So we’re basically starting now in April, to roll that out so every single Android device, back down to the Xperia base from Sony Ericsson, but as well as Live with Walkman based on Android, will see the Ice Cream Sandwich upgrade. That is a reassurance for a consumer of a Sony Xperia smartphone: the upgrade will come.
