Here are some of the contenders for today's biggest...news...of...the...day...

• Earnings from eBay (EBAY)...the online auctioneer posted better-than-expected numbers and the stock is currently bid up 12 percent in pre-open action...
• Earnings from Qualcomm (QCOM)...the company also affirmed its 2007 outlook...
• Earnings from Nokia (NOK)...
