Qualcomm CEO Paul Jacobs announced at the Consumer Electronics Show Tuesday that the S4 processor, their latest creation, will be loaded later in 2012 into notebooks, smart TVs, and smartphones, and digital media adapters. They are not joking either. There are more than 70 devices designed around this new chip, from more than 20 manufacturers. Qualcomm is even working together with Microsoft on LTE solutions, utilizing S4 chips. The S4 chips have integrated Wi-Fi and high performance built-in graphics adapters.
A 1.5 GHz quad-core is the main feature of the Snapdragon S4 MPQ8064 processor. Both the graphics and audio are built-in, based on Qualcomm’s Krait micro-architecture-Adreno™ 320 graphics and advanced audio/video capabilities.

Beautiful and simple. This is how every mobile operating system should be. For some, having a bright mind was enough to create beautiful and simple things like Apple does. In Google’s case it took years to find a person capable to raise the bar and finally create something simple and attractive as a mobile operating system.

Acer Iconia Tab A200 did not pass without notice through the FCC’s hands, but it was clear we would soon see it in the U.S. The press release announced a release date for January 15th. The price is not so bad, either, starting at $330. It is a good price for a 10-inch tablet ready to be loaded with the Ice Cream Sandwich update. The update, though, is not due out until February.
If you shell out an extra $20 you will get the 16GB tablet. Otherwise, it is the 8GB version. Each tablet has a microSD, 2MP front cam, the NVIDIA dual-core Tegra 2 SoC, and 1280×800 display. The battery is supposed to last as many as eight hours, runtime. But keep in mind that the Iconia is one of the last tablets that still has the full-sized USB 2.0 port. +Continue Reading
