Augmented Reality: The Future of Play and More

At the end of June, we held our Uplinq conference here in San Diego. One of the topics that created the most buzz was Augmented Reality (AR). I would like to share what you missed at the event and Qualcomm’s views on this developing space.

Apps Development Made Fun and Easy

I just saw something really cool today. Google recently announced its AppInventor web-based application development environment for the Android platform. You know what the required skills are for using AppInventor? Well, can you point and click a mouse? If so, you’re off to the races. To me, this is what it’s all about: the code should be a means to a particular end, not vice versa.

Qualcomm Presents Vision for Integration of EVs in Smart Grid

Yesterday, Qualcomm took the stage at the Plug-In 2010 conference in San Jose, an annual event showcasing many of the key players in the electric vehicle (EV) ecosystem from electric utilities, to charging station manufacturers, software providers, automakers and others. During the Smart Grid Technology and Integration session, Ignacio Contreras from our Corporate New Business Development group discussed the role that cellular technologies can have in enabling electric cars and charging infrastructure in the future.

The Internet of Everything, Including Smart Charging of Electric Vehicles

The Mobile Internet has exploded over the last few years and the next area for innovation will come from making the Internet of Everything a reality. Wireless is going to be embedded into sensors that are all around us that will help us manage and monitor many aspects of your life.

The Power of Word of Mouth

A few years ago on a business trip, I had a chance to meet with my good friend Monique to catch up. After sharing our updates over dinner, Monique excitedly asked me, “Have you heard of Redbox? It’s like Blockbuster Video, but it’s a vending machine, and you can rent new movies for just a dollar a day. How cool is that!“
