In previous blog we mentioned the release of the new Google Nexxus One smartphone. This cellphone is likely seen as rival for the Apple iPhone. The Nexxus One is powered by the QUALCOMM Snapdragon processor and runs on the Android OS.
Qualcomm CDMA Technologies is making great strides in the industry, last summer the Snapdragon was released in the ToshibaTG01 to good reviews. Qualcomm also powered the T-Mobile G1 which was the first cellphone to use Google's Android Operating System. As can be seen in this video the snapdragon performs at a very high level. This chip would be able to run intensive graphics and video on a small device.
Qualcomm's processors are about to meet jump from cellphones to laptops. Lenovo is also using the snapdragon in a small smartbook - Skylight which will be sold at AT&T retail stores, this is a non-Windows Intel Netbook, which will compete with Netbooks based on Microsoft and Intel atom processors.
Weighing less than a kilogram, Skylight has 1.3 megapixel camera built-in, full size keyboard, two USB slots, mini HDMI connector, audio ports, built-in mic, memory card slot and SIM slot.
Qualcomm is also working on a dual core version of the Snapdragon which will have capability features including 1080p high-definition video and mobile TV support and possible performance of 1.5GHz.
