Qualcomm has recently announced in an interview that they will release several new versions of their Snapdragon processor in late 2010/early 2011. These will be smaller and faster than current models, and some will even have 2 cores!
The first in the pipeline is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8X50A which is a 45nm version of the current chip, but with a 1.3GHz clockspeed and longer battery life.
The second is the dual-core Snapdragon (8X72) sporting a pair of Scorpion cores at 1.5Ghz. This blazing fast chip will enable flawless 1080p video playback in both smartphones and netbooks. This chip is expected out late 2010, but probably won’t be offered in devices until mid 2011. Hopefully it will be sooner rather than later.
The Acer Liquid Metal S120 has seen the FCC and all is well. The device is rumored to offer a healthy yet conservative 3.6-inch 800 x 480 resolution touch-screen display. The device will run on a 800MHz Qualcomm MSM7230-1 supporting GSM/EDGE 850/1900 and WCDMA Band II and V. This suggests that we will see it land with AT&T sometime in the near future. The whole thing is housed in a aluminum chassis and will pack 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth and Android 2.2 Froyo.
