chipset solution is what really makes a smartbook so smart—optimizing processing power and power consumption so you can get more out of your mobile device. With the Snapdragon™ chipset, everything runs smoothly, so you’re not held up by interminable load times, poor resolution or choppy graphics. Snapdragon™ also delivers the instant-on 3G connectivity and longer battery life that make a smartbook perfect for life on the go. ]]> http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/qualcomm-first-smartbook-to-be-announced-today-november-12/feed/ 1 http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/hp-snapdragon-smartbook-exposed-made-by-qualcomm/ http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/hp-snapdragon-smartbook-exposed-made-by-qualcomm/#comments Fri, 18 Sep 2009 17:06:01 +0000 Twinkle http://gadgetmix.com/index/?p=9185 PT & Network Comm China 2009, Qualcomm displayed an 7-inch snapdragon smartbook which will be sold by HP, perhaps in few months from now. This smartboook runs Linux and has HSDPA radio so that you can always remain connected wherever you go. It has an antenna which should increase the signal, if extended.Snapdragon, Qualcomm's 1GHz processor for mobile devices should be mighty fast on this Linux machine. Nothing is known is about its and availability]]> http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/hp-snapdragon-smartbook-exposed-made-by-qualcomm/feed/ 0 http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/asus-snapdragon-smartbook-not-releasing-now/ http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/asus-snapdragon-smartbook-not-releasing-now/#comments Wed, 26 Aug 2009 18:48:56 +0000 Twinkle http://gadgetmix.com/index/?p=8362 mentioned a couple of months about ASUS releasing their Smartbook.What could be the possible reason for delaying their Smartbook is the fact that ASUS suffered revenue loss which was in the news today.CEO Jerry Shen doesn’t have high hopes for the smartbook market, he is quoted as saying, ”Currently, I don’t see a clear market for smartbooks.”So there are two reasons for it. First, lets face it that ACER is kind-of becoming the undisputed leader in the netbook market although it entered after ASUS in the world of netbooks and thus ASUS is not able to sell achive its sales targets. Secondly, demand for Smartbooks is currently unknown. Last month, Acer decided to delay the launch of their netbook. Acer's Smartbook will be running Android OS and Acer thinks that there is not-enough demand for the Android OS and thus has decided to postpone the release of their Smartbook.]]> http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/asus-snapdragon-smartbook-not-releasing-now/feed/ 0 http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/qualcomm-betting-a-lot-on-smartbooks-says-future-is-very-bright-for-smartbook/ http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/qualcomm-betting-a-lot-on-smartbooks-says-future-is-very-bright-for-smartbook/#comments Wed, 26 Aug 2009 13:16:27 +0000 Paul Merak http://gadgetmix.com/index/?p=8364 Consumers want computers that will run all day on one battery charge, don’t need to be switched off and are always receiving data, said Jacobs, whose company is the world’s biggest maker of mobile-phone chips.According to Qualcomm, people do not want to carry a bulky laptop and its charger all day with them. They want a device that can run all day and remain connected too. More than 12 companies have decided to use the Snapdragon's chip, which runs at 1GHz clock speed. The future is surely very exciting and we are waiting for the Snapdragon-based netbooks AKA Smartbooks to hit the market]]> http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/qualcomm-betting-a-lot-on-smartbooks-says-future-is-very-bright-for-smartbook/feed/ 0 http://gadgetmix.com/mids/hummingbird-another-1ghz-smartphone-processor-for-the-need-for-speed/ http://gadgetmix.com/mids/hummingbird-another-1ghz-smartphone-processor-for-the-need-for-speed/#comments Mon, 27 Jul 2009 18:54:30 +0000 Paul Merak http://gadgetmix.com/index/?p=7319 Snapdragon that set the mobile world on fire as it was the fastest smartphone processor till date. Samsung is now joining the ARM Race by unveiling their first 1GHz processor meant for mobile devices - Hummingbird processor.Some features of the upcoming Hummingbird processor:

• Modifiable L2 memory cache
• Delivers 2000 DMIPS at 1 GHz
• Features an ARM NEON multimedia extension
• Less Power consumption
• Data & instruction cache of 32KB
• High operating clock performance

It may be that Samsung will be supplying this 1GHz processor for the iPhone 4G (which will be released in 2010) although we would love to see this implemented in MIDs]]> http://gadgetmix.com/mids/hummingbird-another-1ghz-smartphone-processor-for-the-need-for-speed/feed/ 0 http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/confirmed-qualcomm-will-launch-smartbooks-at-the-end-of-this-year/ http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/confirmed-qualcomm-will-launch-smartbooks-at-the-end-of-this-year/#comments Tue, 23 Jun 2009 19:25:32 +0000 Paul Merak http://gadgetmix.com/index/?p=6215 fast Snapdragon processor in their smartbooks as-well-as in their upcoming mobile phones. Qualcomm is pretty sure that it will be able to sell 2.5 billion units by the end of year 2011.So what makes Smartbooks better than the existing cellphones and MIDs (Mobile Internet Devices)? Smartbooks will give you a very powerful smartphone in your hand and will come with both voice and data capabilities. Unlike netbooks and MIDs, the smartbooks can remain connected all the time. No need of shutting your device down or putting your device into hibernation. All that will all day battery-life and integrated GPS.Also, we are happy to know that smartbooks will cost less than the existing netbooks. This indicates that the smartbooks should cost less than $400. If they are able to do that, it will be a huge hit among the consumers.]]> http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/confirmed-qualcomm-will-launch-smartbooks-at-the-end-of-this-year/feed/ 1 http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/verizon-wireless-netbook-reviewed-hp-mini-1151nr/ http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/verizon-wireless-netbook-reviewed-hp-mini-1151nr/#comments Wed, 20 May 2009 14:31:02 +0000 Paul Merak http://gadgetmix.com/index/?p=5562 infosync have done a review of the recently released, HP Mini 1151NR. This is the same netbook, which was last week released by Verizon Wireless. The netbook has very impressive looks. Also, the since it has a pretty wide keyboard, it is a joy to type onto it. Verizon Wireless was also smart to add a Qualcomm Gobi chipset, which lets the netbook work on Verizon's fast EV-DO Rev.Skype performed without any problems and did not show any sluggishness in the tests. Well, there are not going to be many problems especially, if you are on a XP machine. Had they gone for Vista, I am sure we would have heard a lot of complains from the users about its 'poor performance'.The only minus point to me is its resolution, which is 576 pixels in height. This can lead to problems like dialog boxes not being able to fully fit inside the screen. This is the same problem that I used to face on my old EEE 701, which had just 480 pixels in height. Some users will also complain about the position of the left and right click buttons. These buttons are on the sides of the trackpad instead of being at its bottom. Battery life is also nothing to talk home about: somewhere between 2-3 hours.Overall: An average netbook]]> http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/verizon-wireless-netbook-reviewed-hp-mini-1151nr/feed/ 6 http://gadgetmix.com/windows-mobile/htc-to-launch-internet-enabled-feature-phone-later-this-year-will-not-be-running-windows-mobile/ http://gadgetmix.com/windows-mobile/htc-to-launch-internet-enabled-feature-phone-later-this-year-will-not-be-running-windows-mobile/#comments Mon, 06 Apr 2009 18:12:57 +0000 Paul Merak http://gadgetmix.com/index/?p=4846 Digitimes is reporting that HTC is planning to launch an Internet-enabled feature phone later this year. However, contrary to what we would think, this would not be running Windows Mobile (or Android). It would instead be running BREW MP. HTC will be bundling it with wide range of flash applications to provide multimedia services to the user.Last year, HTC did give us all a hint that they will be launching an updated version of the HTC Advantage (X7510), but we did not know that it would not be running Windows Mobile.For those who do not what BREW MP is: It is a mobile platform made by Qualcomm]]> http://gadgetmix.com/windows-mobile/htc-to-launch-internet-enabled-feature-phone-later-this-year-will-not-be-running-windows-mobile/feed/ 1 http://gadgetmix.com/misc/qualcomm-to-target-sub-150-phones-with-its-new-chipset-msm7227/ http://gadgetmix.com/misc/qualcomm-to-target-sub-150-phones-with-its-new-chipset-msm7227/#comments Mon, 16 Feb 2009 13:11:35 +0000 Paul Merak http://gadgetmix.com/index/?p=3619 http://gadgetmix.com/misc/qualcomm-to-target-sub-150-phones-with-its-new-chipset-msm7227/feed/ 0 http://gadgetmix.com/misc/1ghz-marvell-processor-for-mobile-devices-this-had-to-happen/ http://gadgetmix.com/misc/1ghz-marvell-processor-for-mobile-devices-this-had-to-happen/#comments Sat, 10 Jan 2009 17:01:08 +0000 Paul Merak http://gadgetmix.com/index/?p=2583 http://gadgetmix.com/misc/1ghz-marvell-processor-for-mobile-devices-this-had-to-happen/feed/ 33
