Last week, pictures surfaced of Qualcomm’s Netbook concept design, powered by their Snapdragon platform – something I’ve decided to call the QBook. I posted some technical specs and pictures over on Xhibiting:
Although no specific product has been announced, Qualcomm did promise a release next year (I know what’ll be on my Coveted for Christmas wishlist) as well as present a reference design (which are where these pictures are from, HT: Silicon.com) showing off the following features:
- built-in 3G networking
- integrated GPS (sorry, not even Christine’s baby, the new Lenovo IdeaPad, has that)
- Bluetooth and WiFi
- High-def video recording and playback
- MediaFLO (mobile TV)
- WSXGA resolution (1440×900)
- touchscreen capability
- tablet capability
- swivel-screen with QWERTY keyboard
- extra-long battery life
