Qualcomm In Discussion with Apple to Supply Chips for iPhone
Qualcomm Inc., the world's largest maker of mobile phone chips, may be discussing with Apple to supply products for the iPhone, says Bloomberg.
It is unclear if Qualcomm is pushing Apple for the iPhone, or if the company is looking to expand its market.
Qualcomm is behind the CDMA2000 3G technology that Sprint and Verizon use for their networks, though it is being phased out in favor for the LTE 4G networks that are currently being tested in various areas of the country.

Just a reminder but Sprint isn't moving to LTE but is instead using WiMax for it's 4G service.
In any case this is big news as it could lead to a CDMA iPhone. Granted that is like saying the Apple tablet is coming out next month because a patent was published.
