Qualcomm licenses AMD

So far, we’ve read numerious articles about AMD’s plans to release graphics chips for mobiles. Apparently, that may happen with the help from Qualcomm, which just managed to license “cutting-edge graphics core technology” from AMD for the next-generation chipsets. Under the deal, Qualcomm will get AMD’s Unified Shader Architecture (introduced in the Xbox 360), and pair it to the their Mobile Station Modem chipsets. The idea is to bring 3G gaming to the handsets at some point in the future. Sadly, we don’t know when’s that future, although it’s nice to see things slowly shaping up…

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.
