Qualcomm moved Monday to expand its drive into the GSM 3G market by announcing a collaboration with Motorola on UMTS handsets. They also showed the unveiling of a single-chip UMTS/HSDPA solution. Qualcomm topped off the flurry of activity by unveiling details of a new platform called Snapdragon designed to make universal mobility a reality.
The Motorola agreement calls for the two companies to bring UMTS handsets to global markets. Motorola noted that Qualcomm’s Mobile Station Modem chipsets have been approved for incorporation into its future UMTS handset designs.
This is handheld is definitely the one for those who love to listen to music on their phone. The Sony Ericsson W600i Walkman/Cellphone with 3D gaming is not only sleek and stylish but highly functional. The phone includes Bluetooth wireless connectivity, EDGE capability, and is quad-band, allowing it to be used all over the world. And, with its 256 megabytes of internal memory, the W600i Walkman phone stores up to ten full length CDs or between 80 and 120 songs, depending on the compression rate.
Britain’s Vodafone Group on Monday unveiled its line-up of 24 3G handsets ahead of the key Christmas season, including phones that allow web access at broadband speeds and its first ever devices sourced from South Korea’s LG Electronics. The mobile phone giant, which is trying to push higher paying 3G services to boost slowing sales growth, said it would sell 10 exclusive 3G phones sourced from top European, U.S. and Asian manufacturers, with five of them at entry level prices.
