During the Qualcomm Technologies press conference in Taipei earlier today, we spotted an upcoming prototype Eee PC with quite a bit if difference from the norm.
The machine was installed with Google’s upcoming Android operating system and we have to admit, it feel a bit strange on a “Smartbook” (as Qualcomm calls them) of this kind. The operating system is clearly suited for smaller devices and smart phones, but it was nice to get a look at it anyway.
We asked one of the product managers from Qualcomm to give us a demo of the system. It is based on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon platform which consists of a 1GHz CPU. Because of the platforms “extremely low power consumption”, no cooling is required which allows for ultra thin netbooks. It is capable of playing back 720p video with the current gen chips, and in the future 1080p will be supported with the faster clock processors.
