1 GHz Qualcomm CPU in future handsets & coming Nokia N810-killer?

I'm not really into writing hardware news (I don't have the time for something that other tech writers / bloggers also elaborate on - instead, I prefer spending my time on tutorials, software reviews, Bibles and unique, genuine hacks instead), but the latest hardware news (reported on by Geek.com) is indeed pretty interesting and certainly shows there will be some REALLY exciting Windows Mobile devices in the (unfortunately, not very near: late 2008 / early 2009) future. Let me cite Geek.com:
First look at Qualcomm’s new Fairbanks and Anchorage mobile platforms
The other model, the more exciting one for most people, is the “Anchorage”. This is based on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon platform so it will use a 1.0GHz processor (said to operate at 1/2 watt peak) along with WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, cellular, and a lot more good stuff. The unofficial word is that Snapdragon will offer close to the best power/performance ratio of anything on the market. The Anchorage device will be aimed more at productivity and the test model I saw had a QWERTY keyboard. The form factor of this model was a lot like the Nokia N810, but the actual design will be whatever OEMs want. So far we know that Samsung and HTC are on board, but there are a few others that are not official yet.

Anchorage
Anchorage and iPhone
The Anchorage was running Windows Mobile 5.0, which was only used for display purposes as any OS, even a full OS, can be run on the 1.0GHz processor. It also has the camera with video recording, GPS, and live TV playback capability. Because it has a cellular signal it will be prime competition for a device like the HTC Advantage, though it will also compete against products like the Nokia N810 and Sony mylo 2.
Everything is still in its early stages and things will change a lot once the OEMs get their hands on them and start to customize. This may mean lost/added functionality as well as many different form factors and large swings in the price. All we do know is that we should start to see the devices released by the end of 2008, possible early 2009.

Which are all the Phones with - 1 GHz Qualcomm CPU ?
& which is Best of them all ?

The Acer F1 and Toshiba TG01 both boast Snapdragon processors. Many MIDs/Netbooks/Smartbooks whatever you want to call them also have it. I estimate that by next year it will be common for many devices to use it. It is revolutionary IMO

Sony Ericsson Xperia X2 will have Snapdragon & WM6.5!

HTC "Dream" phone = Google Android?

Seen this article when I fired up Yahoo Go! today on my 8525
http://news.yahoo.com/s/infoworld/20080320/tc_infoworld/96138_1
"San Francisco - The mobile phone High Tech Computer (HTC) has been developing to run on the Android software from Google will be called "Dream," have a large touchscreen and full QWERTY keypad, a person close to the situation said Thursday.
HTC may become the first handset maker in the world to put out a mobile phone developed around Android , but it faces stiff competition from Samsung, a separate source said. Samsung has stepped up its effort to put out a Google phone, the person said.
HTC's Google handset is just over 5-inches long and 3-inches wide, with a keypad underneath the screen that either slides out or swivels out. The aim of the keypad is for easy e-mail, note-taking, and writing Web addresses. Internet navigational controls are situated below the screen on the handset.
The handset will likely hit the market near the end of this year, the person said.
The company officially remained mum on the handset. "We cannot comment on this product," said Maggie Cheng, an HTC representative.
Last November, HTC became the first company to admit to developing a mobile phone based on Android , although Samsung, Motorola, and other handset developers are part of the group dedicated to furthering the software, the Open Handset Alliance .
Android, an open source software platform that includes an OS, is designed to take advantage of Internet services for mobility. The software could become a potent new rival to Windows Mobile and other handset operating systems . At the launch ceremony, Google announced that over 30 companies had joined the Open Handset Alliance."

the android has street view...wow...it looks crazy good.

mmmhh!!
...Let's see!!

very cool info & looks of the "dream"...hope it comes true soon!

it will be interesting to see if Quake really does run smoothly @ 30fps on a 300+ mhz processor too....

tell me it will be gsm only and i'm going to beat some htc heads in.

omg .... appears to be a real dream come true ...

I think that won't be the final look...
... starting from that Windows key clearly visible on the keyboard!

looks the dogs bollericks doesn't it. I'm glad the Google initiative managed to persuade HTC to switch to their platform It'll be interesting how this effects the HTC/Microsoft relationship which has always been a bit bumchum for my liking.

more android vids here.

Looking at this: http://www.pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=790
It seems to be WM and not Android

is this OS specific to the device or are you going to be able to hack existing ppc's to install it as an alternative to wm?

If I were a betting man I would say device specific even with "Android" aka Linux, I think, you would need device specific drivers. If your device uses the same components then you may be able to.

I'm developing on android, and what is shown in the video is definitly android. i dont know if the "dream" phone is shipped with android but htc is working on an android device. and btw: android really kicks ass! not just for developers but for endusers too.

I don't think the "Dream" phone which is what that article is about will have android.
After playing around with the Android SDK, I have to say I can't wait for a device, and to see what everyone has programmed!

would be very cool if community would develop this around existing devices... wm is so inefficient I'm excited to see a viable alternative but would be unfortunate if it only works on new devices...

What exactly does "bumchum" mean?
I want to see a phone with mostly screen area (Like iPhone), and a slide out keyboard that tilts (like the Tilt). From the looks of the Android demos, it looks like most everything will be done with touch inputs on the screen. However there will be folks (like me) that want a good QWERTY keyboard for SMS, and to be able to prop it up on a table in tilt mode for hands-free video calling.

I used the dream... only for a a minute or so. I work for one of the companies make a part for the phone.
Sorry for the quality, all I had was my PDA on hand to get the pic and upcoming vid.
If you want to know anything, please let me know and I might be able to help.

OK! sorry for another post but the vid finally came through. Get VLC or quicktime to play it. I am new on this posting vids so for now please dont hate me for the rapidshare.
not too good, but its a vid. sorry for the format... blackjack 2 records that way.

In conclusion, The Htc touch pro 3 (aka) Htc 7 Pro, which suppose to be more of a business phone, should have a frontward facing camera, at least a micro sd memory card reader for those of us who already have a 16gig micro sd memory card, at least a 4.0 inch screen, and run on the 4G network. I will not mention that the Bluetooth and USB use old technology on the Htc 7 Pro when the new Bluetooth and USB upgraded technology is available. Asking for mobile hotspot and a 1.5 dual core processor would be asking for too much. Most importantly Htc, how does the Htc 7 Pro compare to the Samsung Epic 4G besides the OS?! For those who would like to see the specs of the Samsung Epic 4G with Sprint, go to the Sprint website or Google it.
Notice the full five-row keyboard and big 4-inch screen with a frontward facing camera for video conference. Most importantly check out the specs! So what is the difference between the Htc touch Pro 2 and Htc 7 Pro, and how does it compare to the Samsung Epic 4G?!

That's the way I think HTC should use it, not for WP7. Sorry for offtopic.

I think that would be more akin to the successor of the HTC Shift than the HTC Touch Pro 2.
