The QST1000™, QST1100™ and QST1105™ are a single platform of solutions with a range of highly integrated features and capabilities, including wireless connectivity; high-accuracy, multi-mode GPS positioning; a high-performance applications processor; support for broadcast mobile TV; and rich multimedia. The new QST-series chipsets are designed to enable the next generation of wirelessly connected mobile entertainment, TV, navigation and mobile Internet browsing devices - all while delivering time-to-market and efficiency advantages to device manufacturers."</i><br /><br />In a nutshell, Qualcomm's QST1000 sports an integrated ARM11 applications processor running at 528MHz. It supports many multimedia features such as a camera, VGA video playback, TV-out, and a wide range of audio and video codecs. There's also support for GPS, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and FM. The QST1100 includes all that, plus VoIP capabilities. And the QST1105 takes it a step further with a 2D/3D graphics core to help drive games, user interfaces, and other 3D applications. Like what you see? The first commercial devices with the new chips are expected this year.

Great, another high powered chip HTC won't bother getting the most out of. Sorry, still bitter. Good on Quacomm for keeping the ball rolling.
