Qualcomm's chips bring 4G connectivity to dumb phones
In an effort to differentiate its processor lineups (and annoy tech publications), Qualcomm recently renamed its chips as "Mobile Platforms" instead of "processors." We can now see why: It just unveiled the 205 processor, er, Mobile Platform, its first low-end 200-series chips with LTE and no Snapdragon branding. The idea is to bring services like banking, Voice over LTE (VoLTE), and music or video streaming to feature phone users in Latin America, India and other regions just getting high-speed data services.
