Qualcomm

We rarely write about chip solutions, but Qualcomm’s latest baby is an exception. It leverages advanced 45 nanometer CMOS process technology and combines rich multimedia, power-saving innovations and broadband data speeds.

With support for downloads of up to 10.2 Mbps, uploads of up to 5.76 Mbps, compelling multimedia content and integrated Bluetooth/FM/GPS, the QSC6295 is “helping drive the migration of popular Internet community and media sharing services to the mobile space.” Let me just recap the key features:

  • 400 MHz ARM 11 CPU
  • Support for WQVGA video playback and recording with TV-out
  • 5.0 megapixel camera
  • 3D hardware-accelerated graphics
  • Integrated gpsOne baseband and radio
  • Integrated Bluetooth baseband and radio, FM radio and USB 2.0 HS
  • Support for all UMTS bands and quad-band EGPRS, as well as receive diversity for enhanced data throughput performance
  • 12mm x 12mm package
  • several features of the UMTS Rel. 7 standard (HSPA+) are also on board

What else to say – I can’t wait to see and play with the first devices that use the QSC6295… Here’s the link to the full release.

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.
