Qualcomm shows off Snapdragon designs
Qualcomm had several Snapdragon based devices on display at the Digital Experience tonight. Snapdragon is Qualcomm’s effort to deliver a system on a chip (SoC) platform for a class of devices similar to netbooks – something more powerful than a regular smartphone or mobile internet device (MID) – something that can deliver all the functionality found in netbooks yet also offer instant-on capabilities and all-day long operations.
On display at the Qualcomm booth were sample designs created by folks at Inventech (at least that’s what was told to me by the Qualcomm rep there). As you can see, these sample designs are in fact convertible designs running a Linux OS.
For those of you curious about Snapdragon, here are some of the features (the latest Snapdragon model):
- Dual CPU single chip designs capable of speeds of up to 1.5GHz
- Integrated multi-mode modems including HSPA+
- Integrated GPS, Bluetooth
- 1080p recording and playback
- Wi-Fi
- MediaFLO, DVB-H and ISDB-T
- Integrated 2D and 3D graphics engine
There are also single core Snapdragon models with built-in support for either GSM or CDMA/HSPA networks.
15 manufactures are now developing more than 30 Snapdragon-based products. First products should appear in the first half of this year. Manufacturers developing Snapdragon based products include:
- Acer
- ASUS
- C-motech
- Compal
- Foxconn
- HTC
- Inventech
- LG Electronics
- Quanta Computer
- Samsung Electronics
- Toshiba
- Wistron
