How big (or small) is femto?
A femto is incredibly… infinitesimally… extraordinarily small! It’s actually one quadrillionth of a unit, which, in other terms, is one part of a number that has 15 zeros!

Fishing with 3G Nets
Recently, I traveled to the rural fishing village of Santa Cruz Cabralia, in the state of Bahia, Brazil where I represented Qualcomm’s Wireless Reach initiative at the launch of the Fishing with 3G Nets project.

Segmentation Possibilities in the Smartphone Sector
In a previous blog, I claimed that 2009 was the year of the smartphone.

Qualcomm Helps Developers Tackle Open Market Challenges on a Global Scale
Since the close of our Uplinq conference, I’ve been thinking about the complex landscape that developers encounter these days. It’s a very different environment compared to what it was like during the days of the last Brew conference, more than two years ago.

Displays Getting Touchy
I’m back to answer the questions about mirasol® displays that keep you up at night. Tuesday we addressed questions about how “front-light” technology enables users to view mirasol displays in conditions with little or no light. Now it’s time to get in “touch” with mirasol’s sensitive side.

Shedding Light on a Solar Eclipse
There are a few questions we’re asked again and again about our technology. We hear these questions from folks visiting our website, at tradeshows (like SID, which we’ll talk about in a bit) and from you, our faithful readers. Over the next couple days, I’ll be offering some answers to a couple of these astute and very frequent lines of questioning.

Are e-readers and tablets converging? Consensus is that there is no consensus.
Lately, the e-reader industry has been attacked on all sides, by both pundits and new products — set to render these single-function devices obsolete.
