| An ASUS Eee PC prototype with a Snapdragon chip-set and running the open
| source Android operating system has been sighted at Computex Taipei, the
| Taiwan trade show. Qualcomm refers to designs using the ARM based Snapdragon
| chip-set as 'smartbooks' and expects to see Snapdragon based smartbook
| devices available in Autumn 2009. The chip-set/smartbook specification lists
| 3G connectivity, Wi-Fi, 3D graphics, Bluetooth and GPS among its defining
| features.
