Nowhere has the mobile revolution had a bigger impact on people’s lives than in developing countries.

Parallel computing will not only provide a surge in computational capacity for all apps, but it will also help to establish standards for the platform.

At Qualcomm, we live and breathe mobile technology. We are acutely aware that it has transformed the way we live our lives and connect to the world around us. That is why we were thrilled to learn that TIME was devoting a special issue to wireless technology and bringing together industry experts to further examine the transformative power of mobile.

FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski asked a group of health care industry experts, academics and senior executives from the health and technology industries to examine the challenges faced by wireless health technology and develop recommendations to accelerate the adoption of mHealth solutions.

Democrats and Republicans move forward together to alleviate shortage of tech workers.

Recently, the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) – an advisory group of leading scientists and engineers – released a report...

At IFA Berlin, Dell and Samsung have each launched a 10-inch tablet and have taken major steps in making Microsoft’s Window RT the next big thing in mobile devices. The Samsung ATIV Tab is a 10-inch tablet that falls under the company’s new “ATIV” brand and delivers a full Windows 8 experience. Likewise, Dell launched the XPS 10, a gorgeous 10-inch tablet that caters to both consumers and professionals.

6:23 a.m. My phone is playing ‘Here Comes the Sun,’ by The Beatles. This rising sun brings the last day of my internship at Qualcomm, and the calendar notice on my phone confirms this fact that I would much rather were fiction. 6:36 a.m. Showered, dressed, and making breakfast, phone in hand. I check my emails—somehow I managed to sleep through my phone chirping “new message” during the night—and scroll through Facebook and Twitter. Nothing too exciting seems to have happened overnight, but I have yet to check my work email. My phone’s daily weather alert says it will be warm and sunny again today, so I leave my blazer at home.

In 2010, Qualcomm’s Wireless Reach initiative helped launch the Mobile Health Information System (MHIS) project to improve the ability of health care workers to care for their patients.

Qualcomm is taking another leap forward in advancing our wireless health efforts by launching our first wireless health patient program right here at Qualcomm’s San Diego on-campus Health Center.

As the saying goes, “Challenges bring out the best in us.” And now we’re facing a formidable one: The 1000x challenge.

Here in sunny San Diego, it’s easy to lose perspective on the global smartphone adoption rate. Everywhere I look, I see mobile devices being used as nothing short of a sixth sense. From one-off activities like friends checking the weather or a Padres score, or a local store owner running a small business from the palm of their hand, smartphone activity is enveloping our daily lives.

Mobile phone users, whether they want to admit it or not, are becoming more reliant on texting and emailing than making a typical voice call—and rightfully so. While there have been major advances in the areas of text recognition (i.e., dictation, visual voicemail, ) and email integration (i.e., POP3, OMAP, Exchange), the same can’t really be said about quality of voice calls. Well, that’s about to change.

When I think of last year’s devastating tsunami that ravaged the northeastern coast of Japan, I recall the first images I saw on the news. The horror of ocean waters crashing onto the land, causing incomprehensible damage was astonishing. As with any natural disaster, we are left with the overwhelming task of rebuilding communities and restoring critical social services to displaced citizens.

On June 11, 2012, the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services announced that, after only ten short weeks of accepting applications, it had reached the Fiscal Year 2013 cap on congressionally mandated H-1B work visas. This came as a surprise to many, considering it took six months to reach the cap for Fiscal Year 2012 and more than eight months for Fiscal Year 2011.

Quick question for you—what technology do you use when you make a voice call on your shiny new 4G LTE smartphone? Answer - 3G, and in some cases even 2G!

Through decades of research, the National Commission on Teaching and America’s Future (NCTAF) has documented the importance of collaboration in enabling teachers to improve their practice. Often, however, the norm for teachers in the United States is to work in isolation, cut off from colleagues and from technology that can help them access resources and expertise. This isolation is especially detrimental for new teachers, who are at the highest risk for leaving the profession.

Before the introduction of Qualcomm’s 2net™ Platform, medical devices were siloed and biometric data was locked within proprietary systems and uniquely configured devices. The launch of Qualcomm Life’s cloud-based service liberated this data, creating new possibilities for end-to-end device connectivity.
