Qualcomm unveiled the addition of a new product supporting CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Rev. B to its roadmap. The new Mobile Station Modem (MSM) MSM7850 chipset is the industry’s first device solution for EV-DO Rev. B, and is set to deliver highly advanced capabilities for next-gen data and multimedia services, at downlink data speeds of 9.3 Mbps over the 5 MHz spectrum.
The new device chipset provides support for EV-DO Rev. B with full backward compatibility, and should provide manufacturers with a highly integrated, flexible solution to deliver the capabilities of Rev. B on consumer products. A software upgrade release to enable Qualcomm’s Cell Site Modem (CSM) CSM6800 solution to support multi-carrier EV-DO Rev. B will be available by the end of Q1 2007.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
