Dual-Core Qualcomm Chips To Be Released Soon?

by

Qualcomm issued a press release a little while back stating that they have completed reference designs for a  dual-core mobile chip.  Today, Alienbabeltech seems to have found the results for a GLBenchmark 1.1 test done on a mysterious HTC device.  The device is called the HTC Glacier but has no image.  They compared the bench results to the iPhone 4, HTC Evo and the Samsung Vibrant, Moto Droid X, and the T-Mobile G1, with interesting results.  Both Snapdragon models, the Evo and the Droid X were crushed by the mysterious newcomer.  Alienbabletech suspects this means that the Glacier must be loaded with one of these new chips, in particular, the dual-core chip.  Does this mean we can expect dual-core chips in future Android and Windows Phone offerings?  Read on for a closer look at the facts.

Under the Hood

by
I’m not sure if everyone is holding to the schedule, but August 3rd is my day to post my list of actively used apps (based on Doug Simmons’ clever idea for Mobility Digest’s writers to reveal what they’re running). I’ve got the AT&T version of the Nexus One, running Android 2.2, otherwise known as Froyo. I’ve installed and then uninstalled a fair amount of apps, but the ones listed below have made the cut. For now. Everything I’ve listed is free. I have yet to pay for an app because I haven’t needed to. Most of the links are Android Market links but a few I had to wing. I have to mention that this phone is hands-down the sleekest, most powerful, and easiest-to-use phone I’ve ever owned. Acquiring these apps was no more difficult than browsing around the Anrdoid Market, reading reviews, and taking a few chances.
