Today was the Qualcomm IQ2010 media event held at the Science Museum in London. For those of you who are saying "Who? What?" Qualcomm are just about the biggest chipset producer for mobile devices. If you have an Android device chances are it is powered by a Qualcomm chipset.
The "What" is slightly more difficult as Qualcomm are the Intel of the mobile world they do not have any end user products. Instead they had to present the specs and features of their chipsets and demo using products of their client base such as HTC and Samsung. Interestingly I learnt about butterflies which for me was the most interesting part of the day, but more about that later.
The Qualcomm chipset originally handled the RF and Power Management, but the latest Snapdragon Chipset is a single chipset solution containing CPU, GPU, Power Management, Modem, GPS, Multimedia etc. All of this is ARM based with open source development tools packaged into a dual core package running at speeds up to 1.5GHz.
