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
