Qualcomm has announced it is working with HP to design an Android-based smartbook device. The design utilises Qualcomm's Snapdragon QSD8250 chipset platform with an integrated Scorpion CPU, delivering speeds up to 1 GHz. The device demonstrates how long battery life, 3G and Wi-Fi connectivity, a highly intuitive user interface and other features can meet the consumer's need for a mobile, yet constantly connected lifestyle. HP demonstrated the device at the 2010 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.

Qualcomm's Snapdragon platform claims to offer an unprecedented combination of gigahertz mobile processing performance, optirnised power consumption, ubiquitous connectivity and powerful multimedia, all on a single chip.
