Future sustainable growth of Qualcomm Inc (QCOM) is all set to come from its state-of-the-art next-generation Snapdragon technology platform. A major initiative of Qualcomm is the convergence of mobile computing with its Snapdragon solutions. These chipsets have been designed for pocket-sized portable computing devices.  This platform enables phone manufacturers to develop high-speed and more power efficient smart-phones and smart-books. We believe diversification into the mobile computing market was necessary for Qualcomm due to lukewarm growth of the company’s ordinary mobile phone chipset market. Massive growth of smart-phones may make up for these losses.  As of now, over 15 mobile device manufacturers are developing more than 30 Snapdragon-based products. Several leading software developers have started writing applications for mobile operating system, multimedia player, social networking, and productivity development tools based on the Snapdragon platform.  Acer Inc, Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., and LG Electronics Inc are the ...

Qualcomm Inc (QCOM) is all set to start selling chipsets for smart-books from the next quarter onward. The company is the largest developer of digital mobile chipsets based on CDMA wireless technology. This new venture into the smart-book market will be a vertical diversification for the company. A smart-book is a pocket digital assistant (PDA) that functions like a mobile phone but resembles a small-size notebook with full keyboards. The chipset market for computer is primarily dominated by Intel Inc (INTC). Advanced Micro Devices Inc (AMD) and Texas Instruments Inc (TXN) are other major players. Qualcomm has developed smart-book chipsets based on its state-of-the-art Snapdragon platform technology. A path-breaking initiative of the company is the convergence of mobile computing with the next-generation Snapdragon platform. These chipsets have been designed for pocket-sized portable computing devices. Using Snapdragon chipsets, the consumers will no ...

Shares of Dell Inc. (DELL) fell 3.5% to $12.56 in after-hours trading and closed at $13.02 on July 13, 2009, when the company announced that it expects a modest decline in gross margin for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 impacted by higher component costs, a competitive pricing environment, an unfavorable product mix due to expensive PC parts and weak demand.   This comes on the heels of declining PC sales as consumers shift from expensive notebook computers towards cheap netbooks and laptops. This shift to low-end PC’s is hurting Dell’s profitability and generating very thin profit margins. Also, Dell has struggled to keep pace with the consumer market due to strong competition, particularly in the low priced desktops and notebook market.   Although the news impacted Dell’s shares, the company did provide some good news. It expects second quarter revenue to increase sequentially as demand for its ...

Google Inc. (Nasdaq: GOOG), not satisfied owning the search engine market, yesterday (Wednesday) revealed it is going to assault Microsoft Corp. (Nasdaq: MSFT) on the turf it has dominated for two decades: the operating system (OS).

In a blog posting, the Mountain View, Calif.-based company introduced the Google Chrome Operating System, which shares the same name as the web browser it introduced in September. Google expects the OS to be available in the second half of 2010, and it initially will run onnetbooks, or low-cost laptops designed for Internet access. The company is working with multiple manufacturers such as Acer Inc., Hewlett-Packard Co. (NYSE: HPQ) and Toshiba Corp. to bring Chrome OS-backed netbooks to the market, Google said.

No. 1 computer seller H-P told the Dow Jones Newswires that it is “studying” the Chrome OS.

“We want to assess the capability it may

To compete with large vendors in the rising netbook PC market, Sony (SNE) plans to launch its new VAIO W series laptop, currently meant for the Japanese market. The new netbook is expected to hit stores in August with a selling price of around ¥60,000 ($629), according to some sources.

Sony has declined to comment on the product and has not provided any specific pricing details or expected sales for the new netbook model. It expects to increase VAIO PC sales from 5.8 million units in fiscal 2008 to 6.2 million units in fiscal 2010.

The new Sony netbook is built on Microsoft’s (MSFT) Windows XP operating system and based on Intel’s (INTC) Atom processor. In comparison to 1,024-by-600-pixel displays that are used in other netbooks, the new VAIO series features an LCD display with a resolution of 1,366-by-768 pixels. It also consists of 1GB of

The feud between authorities in China and Google Inc. (Nasdaq: GOOG) escalated Wednesday night when Chinese users were blocked from Google’s global Web site for a period of at least two hours.

For weeks China has been chastising Google for disseminating “huge amounts of porn and lewd information.” The company has made a strong effort to accommodate Beijing’s high “moral” standard by launching a separate Chinese Web site, Google.cn, to filter out sensitive information.

Still, China’s war on the search engine has only intensified. That has led some analysts to believe that the communist government is acting on behalf of Baidu Inc. (Nasdaq ADR: BIDU), or perhaps as part of a smear campaign to drum up support for its latest attempt to tighten its grip on Internet content that is becoming harder to control.

Bloomberg reports this morning that Google's (GOOG) successful smartphone operating system known as Android will be featured on new-model laptops about to be released by Asia-focused Acer, Inc. and Asustek Computer Inc., two global, lower-cost personal computer (PC) sellers.This strategy takes a big swipe at Microsoft (MSFT) Windows' operating system dominance. It also occurs at a time when the Windows line is fairly rife with customer concerns regarding products like Vista, as well as the expected higher cost of the yet-to-be-released Windows 7.Consider that Microsoft also has Apple, Inc.'s (AAPL) successful Mac OS X Leopard (the upgrade from Safari) operating system to contend with. From one angle, it appears as if Windows is at least a half-step off the pace off its serious competition.This is not to say Windows cannot maintain its PC operating system dominance, but Google's Android just ...
