Qualcomm shows off Android

13 February 2008 10:28 GMT / By Stuart Miles

Qualcomm has, like ARM, used the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, to show off how its chipset can power the Open Handset Alliance's Android Platform.

Showing the interface off on a demo board, the company showed that the new OS could be run on low-end spec rather than the latest cutting-edge technology.

It's demo board, not yet in a device, featured 3G connectivity, GPS, Wi-Fi and a number of other elements all running on an ARM 11 and ARM 9 architecture.

Different from the ARM demo, the company showed how 3D graphics would enable software developers to create state of the art interactive graphics.
