Qualcomm Snapdragon-Based Smartbook Showcased
,----[ Quote ]
| A recent news-article on Silicon.com shows
| pictures of a Quanta-designed smartbook
| that was reportedly running on Qualcomm's
| widely-advertised Snapdragon platform. The
| device was featured with the Google Android
| OS, a Linux-based operating system that was
| initially designed for smartbooks and low-
| power, ultraportable devices.

Google puts Chrome OS into open source, 'cloudbooks' in a year
,----[ Quote ]
| Sundar Pichai, Google's VP of product
| management, said: "Google developers will
| be working off the same tree as external
| developers." The OS is still in an early
| stage of development, but is not a full
| blown operating system in the conventional
| sense. Instead it provides a layer of low
| level software beneath the Chrome browser,
| with most of the work and development being
| done there. This could drive the evolving
| mobile internet device category into even
| more browser-oriented formats than the
| current designs being pushed by the
| cellphone community, notably Qualcomm and
| Freescale with their smartbooks.

Qualcomm to introduce first Snapdragon powered smartbook today
,----[ Quote ]
| Qualcommâs Snapdragon platform combines a
| low power ARM-based processor with wireless
| connectivity including WiFi, 3G, GPS, and
| Bluetooth. There arenât any details on the
| device that will be launched today, but
| itâs a good bet it runs some sort of Linux
| operating system since Windows XP, Vista,
| and 7 donât run on ARM processors.
| Theoretically it could also run Windows CE,
| but all of the demos of Snapdragon devices
| Iâve seen have been machines running Linux.
