CES 2010 was a remarkable event for Qualcomm and our Snapdragon chipset. Much hype was generated when Google introduced the Nexus One. Later in the week, Lenovo won CNET Best of CES 2010 for computers and hardware with the IdeaPad U1 Hybrid and Skylight products.
Wrapping up the week was our keynote where both Lenovo and HP joined Dr. Jacobs on stage to talk about working with Qualcomm on Snapdragon-based smartbooks.
Over the last month, I’ve been eagerly following the continuing news coverage of the significance of Qualcomm’s first generation Snapdragon QSD8250 chipset for smartphones, smartbooks and other mobile devices.
Interestingly, much of the commentary centers on Snapdragon as a processor. Of course, the Snapdragon QSD8250 platform does include an enhanced 1-Gigahertz (GHz) CPU, but it offers so much more than that.
Our Snapdragon solution — a highly-integrated, single chip solution — not only includes an enhanced CPU, but also integrates Qualcomm’s industry leading 3G mobile broadband technology as well as rich multimedia, HD video, 3D graphics and GPS. All that functionality in a single chip is enabling our customers to deliver smart, slim and powerful mobile devices with all-day battery life. That’s surely what I’m looking for with my active, mobile lifestyle — and I’m sure many others are as well.
