This stock has been doing well in a crappy market.  There are many things events etc contributing to this.  First Tim Cook took over for Steve Jobs.  This was shortly after GOOG felt the need to grab some exposure to MOT and add growth too its Android OS.  Samsung and AAPL battling each other.  YHOO shoulda bot a stake in RIMM instead they tossed Carol Bartz.  As the moble internet tsunami moves over new land and starts to lose organization before stregnthening again,  QCOM is well poised to attract confused shareholders, RIMM investors, also Value and Growth  investors alike will seek out QCOM too, as less then 10% of their rev comes from AAPL directly.  Leaving room for much growth as AAPL still has less the a 15% piece of the global smartfone pie.
