,----[ Quote ]
| It's almost as if Qualcomm's CEO Paul
| Jacobs took a deep breath and looked the
| vast expanse that is Mainland China and
| said to himself; 'There be money in them
| there hills...'. As well there should be.
| Qualcomm is arguably the world's biggest
| producer of ARM-based silicon, the very
| silicon that powers virtually every cell
| phone ever made. Today's statement however
| took some commentators by surprise as it
| was made not in the context of phones, but
| of smartbooks, miniature computers that are
| set to replace Netbooks as the next-big-
| thing in 2010.

| Will Android or Google Chrome OS have a
| part to play? Of course. Will Apple be
| watching with interest? You bet. 'Tis an
| interesting view from here, has to be said.

| ARM-based chip powers the G1 Android phone. Qualcomm is also a big Android
| backer through the Open Handset Alliance.
