Raj works for Qualcomm, and his job description basically reads “like a boss.” He’s the VP of Product Management, so he’s in charge of overseeing the development of the entire Snapdragon chip, from the Scorpion CPU to the Adreno GPU, as well as Qualcomm’s other application processors. He started off the roundtable with a demonstration of the next generation Snapdragon development platform, with a Snapdragon MSM8x60 processor inside.
Mobiletechworld just came across a internal Qualcomm presentation (dated March 2011 from an Android event in Korean) detailing the company’s current SoC roadmap and comparing its Scorpion CPU architecture against its Cortex-A9 competitors. keep in mind that this document is obviously biased towards Qualcomm’s own products so take all the claims presented with a grain of salt but there are quite a few interesting pieces of information in there.
TekGoblin:
Qualcomm has announced today that the Snapdragon platform will have access to instant streaming from Netflix. This is good news for Android owners. No Android phones currently have Netflix its probable that models containing Snapdragon support will be first.
Will I even use Netflix on my phone?
Maybe if I was 12... but really - I can't imagine a more uncomfortable way of watching a movie or tv show on a tiny screen.
I used it all the time when I had an iphone. biggest thing I miss about going to droid.
My windows phone 7 (samsung focus) has netflix. I wasn't aware it was in the minority for this
As a person that uses netflix everyday, I am very excited for this news. I just hope they can get it to run smoothly.
I really have a Hard time watching a Movie on my Smartphone, i Galaxy S came with the "Avatar" movie and to this day i haven't watched it completely, well i have watched the Movie, just not on my Phone.
On the other hand a Device like iPad is perfect for Netflix & other services of that nature.
