Unlike Intel's Atom chip - which has been used to power mini laptops including Asus Eee PCs - the Snapdragon chipset incorporates 3G, graphics capabilities and CPU in one. As a result, the device has always-on connectivity, does not need to sync to get email and does not need booting prior to use.
The Snapdragon processor has been completely redesigned, according to a spokesman, and is based on an ARM architecture.
