Try to keep some professionalism to this site please. I understand there are a lot of new bloggers, and that spelling and grammatical mistakes will be made sometimes, but intentional misuse of words to sound cool makes you look like a teenager in high school, not a journalist.]]>Jan 8th 2009 7:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/qualcomm-tries-to-distract-from-snapdragon-fail-with-android/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/qualcomm-tries-to-distract-from-snapdragon-fail-with-android/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Failure#Internet_meme

I'm done with both, and i'll advise my fellow engadget commenters (and lurkers) the same as my friends IRL. DONT BY A HTC DEVICE UNTILL QUALCOMM IS NO LONGER IN THEM!

Looks like samsung got things rights and even sony erricson knows that these two = bad combo. Theyve went as far as to not even consider them for the making of the X2... which is good for the consumer.]]>Jan 8th 2009 1:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/qualcomm-tries-to-distract-from-snapdragon-fail-with-android/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/qualcomm-tries-to-distract-from-snapdragon-fail-with-android/

Don't buy Qualcom based phones? Okay, so I guess you had better watch it when you buy those Samsung phones that use Qualcom? Or in the future watch out for those Nokia phones that will use Qualcom (with the lawsuit settled this is coming).

I almost forgot, and this is a great one for all the Qualcom bashers here. Guess you can't buy the next generation iPHONE. Yep, Infineon is out and you have got a decision...are you more of a Qualcom hater or a Apple fanboy?]]>Jan 8th 2009 3:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/qualcomm-tries-to-distract-from-snapdragon-fail-with-android/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/qualcomm-tries-to-distract-from-snapdragon-fail-with-android/
The biggest thing so far has been the Palm Pre running TI Omap3! Next-gen iPhone will be in-house CPU/baseband, not anything close to a Q. QTCFail!

It's fairly easy to buy a non-Qualcomm phone. Look at the Omnia, or the new Asus P565 which has been crushing every benchmark thrown at it, although the device is kinda ugly.

Who really cares about Cortex in a mobile device? It's not like it we've been short on the CPU side lately. Mr? Got a video driver?]]>Jan 9th 2009 5:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/qualcomm-tries-to-distract-from-snapdragon-fail-with-android/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/qualcomm-tries-to-distract-from-snapdragon-fail-with-android/
You wrote that no one should care about Cortex in a mobile device, but earlier you wrote that the biggest thing was a Palm Pre running OMAP3. Uh, OMAP3 is an ARM Cortex A8 device.
And you should care. Beyond more power, Cortex is a lot more efficient for power savings.

As for an in-house CPU/baseband from Apple, how much you want to bet? Apple is making a baseband, the investment is way to large for the number of phones they do a year. To even begin it they would need some baseband IP. Nope. Apple may have an application processor, but not a baseband. They are using Qualcom (and dropping Infineon). ]]>Jan 12th 2009 4:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/qualcomm-tries-to-distract-from-snapdragon-fail-with-android/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/qualcomm-tries-to-distract-from-snapdragon-fail-with-android/
I don't have an issue with using Qualcomm as a baseband, or just moving over to the EMP baseband since at least that works without obvious speed deficits. We'll see if there's power-draw differences.]]>Jan 14th 2009 8:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/qualcomm-tries-to-distract-from-snapdragon-fail-with-android/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/qualcomm-tries-to-distract-from-snapdragon-fail-with-android/
Has the use of EMP in the Palm Pre been confirmed? That would be extremely interesting, it would be good for the industry to see EMP move beyond Sony Ericsson and LG.

Despite my comments I am not a fan of Qualcom, most because of their arrogance and restrictions they place on the designs (you have to use their PMU, built in AP, and GPS; and they are trying to force their connectivity).

I see your point on CPU power, but I think the power issue is there. Look at the Motorola ZN4, it is actually a really nice phone but the underpowered processor makes the OS run poorly. WIth phones soon adding HD video (with HDMI connections), 3D video, larger cameras, etc the processing power is going to be a problem.]]>Jan 14th 2009 10:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/qualcomm-tries-to-distract-from-snapdragon-fail-with-android/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/qualcomm-tries-to-distract-from-snapdragon-fail-with-android/
All I want to know is when are the Qualcomm ARM Cortex A8 processors ready to ship in $200 laptops running Android or Ubuntu?

Texas Instruments and Freescale are making those ARM Cortex A8 processors as well. This is the best way to kill off Intel and Microsoft.

ARM Cortex A8 can run a laptop for 15 hours, in a lighter, more compact form factor and at a lower cost. This should be what Engadget should be talking about and asking the representatives about at CES. I guess I'll have to look for some info other places.]]>Jan 9th 2009 12:24AM
