This week we’ve gotten the opportunity to get our hands on one of the first Windows Phone devices in the world to run on an LTE network, the HTC Titan II carried by AT&T. This device has a massive 4.7-inch WVGA super LCD capacitive touchscreen, runs on a Qualcomm 1.5 GHz Snapdragon processor, and works with Windows Phone 7.5 Mango. Perhaps the device’s most impressive specification is its utterly massive 16 megapixel camera.
Toshiba has made some big promises for its CES reveal next week, including the "world's thinnest and lightest" 10.1-inch tablet, but it's a new 7-incher that has leaked out today. The new model, currently unnamed, is expected to be a budget option, NotebookItalia reports, running an unspecified Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset and a 1024 x 600 touchscreen.

This week the folks at Qualcomm are letting loose a bit more information on what's now set to be called Snapdragon GameCommand, an environment not unlike what we've seen thus far from NVIDIA and their Tegra Zone, both arenas containing games that, at least for a limited time, work only on their own chipsets. We first heard about this Qualcomm project back in June, it then being nicknamed the Qualcomm Snapdragon Game Pack. Since then they've given a face and a brand new application to the project, and it'll all be shown off on the 10th of this month, right in the middle of CES 2012.

Qualcomm is pushing to make its Snapdragon mobile chipset brand more visible in the consumer marketplace, dismissing the threat of NVIDIA’s Tegra 3 as a “single use product” and even temporarily rebranding the Qualcomm Stadium as the “Snapdragon Stadium” from this weekend. Speaking at a pre-CES briefing today, Qualcomm’s Senior Vice President of Software Strategy Rob Chandhok suggested that, while Tegra 2 may have been found in many of the headline-grabbing tablets and phones over the past twelve months, “in the mobile space, I’m not sure that NVIDIA has any more brand awareness than we do.” The company is similarly unconcerned about the quadcore Tegra 3.
A bit earlier this month the folks at Qualcomm had an analyst summit with about 50 industry analysts from both North and South America to show off their developing technologies and in particular one device which had us raising our eyebrows - a new Snapdragon S4 developer tablet running Android 2.3 Gingerbread -- news today from Qualcomm shows off how this tablet is now prepped to be running the newest OS, Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. You'll remember the MDB Qualcomm handset we had earlier this year, that one of the last developer-centric devices the chip manufacturer had out for purchase. Now we've got this lovely tablet coming out sooner than later, and complete with the tastiest Android flavor yet!

Kyobo Book Centre and Qualcomm have revealed the world’s first ereader to use a mirasol color e-paper display, the Android-based Kyobo eReader. On sale in South Korea today, priced at the equivalent of $310, the Kyobo eReader is targeted at education customers rather than would-be iPad buyers, and runs Android 2.3 with a locked-down custom UI on a 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S2 processor.
Qualcomm has been cramming its snapdragon processors into all sorts of devices for a long time now. The processor is well known and is the brains behind some of the smartphones on the market today. Qualcomm also intends to see that Snapdragon chip be embedded into even more devices in the future. One of the big goals is apparently to get the chip inside the TV.

It’s time to take a look at both of the new Windows Phone enabled devices Nokia has announced today at Nokia World 2011, the Nokia Lumia 800 and the Lumia 710. While both devices do run the newest version of Windows Phone, that being version 7.5 Mango, thats where the perfect consistency ends. Nokia has made two different devices here for two different crowds – see if you can tell which is aimed at who!
This morning at Nokia World 2011, two flavors of Nokia’s Lumia line were released, the Lumia 800 and the Lumia 710, and Qualcomm now reports that yes, indeed, they are being powered by no less than their very own Snapdragon processors. This is the first time Nokia has entered into the Windows Phone world as well as the first time Nokia has worked with Qualcomm to combine both of their well-loved architectures. With all the coverage on the smartphones themselves this morning, one must see the energy here, in the motor, and what better way to usher in a single new collaboration than with a second!
What HTC is revealing here is a compact version of an EVO with no less than a 4-inch qHD display, Android 2.3 Gingerbread, and world phone capabilities. It also connects via WiMAX for that brand of 4G speed, and will cost you $99.99 with a two year agreement. So what’s the deal with this phone, it’s only got a single-core 1.2GHz processor and a 5 megapixel camera? It’s another mid-range wallop from HTC, that’s what it is, and given the solid one for all and all for one design of the EVO range, we’re expecting a lot, even IF this device is simply a strange remix of the original EVO 4G. Will EVO users feel the need to upgrade? Is it considered an upgrade when the display gets smaller?
