Office 2007 Professional HP and Qualcomm Showcase

LAS VEGAS — It’s been a big week for Hewlett-Packard, and an even bigger one for Qualcomm. At the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Qualcomm chief executive Dr. Paul Jacobs took the stage with HP executive vice president and PC boss Todd Bradley to announce a new touch-enabled netbook designed on the Google Android operating system and powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon computing platform.
It’s one of many big announcements from Qualcomm this week,Microsoft Office Ultimate 2007, which began with the launch of Google’s Nexus One smartphone, a device powered by Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon central processing unit. The announcements expand Qualcomm’s growing ecosystem around wireless technology, products like the CDMA inside every 3G device, which Qualcomm pioneered in the early 90’s and now licenses to 170 companies.
"We believe that consumer electronics devices will essentially be cell phones inside," said Jacobs. "It’s Qualcomm that’s helping drive that innovation."
Jacobs’ keynote was flush with news. After a few jokes about the PDQ–the first-ever,Office 2010 License, brick-like smartphone he helped create with Palm–the Qualcomm chairman opened by announcing support for Google’s new Chrome OS, announced last fall.
Next up a HTC executive came on stage to announce the HTC Smart, a new cousin of the device maker’s Nexus One that uses Qualcomm’s BREW mobile platform.
Then came the announcement of the Lenovo Skylight, the first of its kind in the "smartbook" category,Office 2007 Professional, a Snapdragon-powered mobile Web device that’s half way between a traditional notebook and mobile device. It’s fully integrated with 3G and Bluetooth, and the user experience was designed around how people use the mobile web,Windows 7 Activation, the first device running Flash 10 on an ARM-processing chip.
Perhaps the biggest announcement,Office Home And Business 2010 Key, however, was HP’s new netbook. The machine is always connected, so users can continue to, for example, receive email even after the lid is closed. The interface is along the lines of other Android devices, but offers innovation tweaks like browser tabs and Snapdragon-powered photo flipping.
