A quick link today here at QuickLogic Hotspots: http://www.comscoredatamine.com/2011/08/whos-watching-video-on-their-mobile/ One thing about the study I find very interesting the demographics. Mobile video is something that is relatively new to most people in the US (where the study is focused). Normally, for a new, tech-based application, most would assume that the younger generation become the early […]

The Curtain Lifts…
QuickLogic today announced that the good folks at Pantech are the first OEM to bring VEE and DPO to a smartphone in their ‘Tablet Phone’ (AKA Vega 5) product. As you might expect, we have had access to the phone during the development process, and I have to commend Pantech on the end product. Although […]
What Does Android 3.0 Support Do for QuickLogic?

Tim’s going to be speaking about “Optimizing Battery Life and Sideloading Performance with USB Tunneling.” I’ve seen the presentation, and it’s full of extremely […]
Honeycomb Cometh…
Google’s demonstration last week of its Android 3.0 OS (Honeycomb, for those ‘in the know’) has been widely hailed as the first real shot across the massive battleship that is iPad/iOS. Naval references aside, the combination of support for larger display sizes along with graphics and interfaces designed specifically for those larger displays is exactly […]
Reactions from a New iPad Owner
Like 5M or so of my fellow technophiles (that number is certainly up for debate—see http://tech.fortune.cnn.com/2010/10/05/how-many-ipads-has-apple-really-sold/), I recently purchased an iPad. The next day, I began what ended up being a 16 day trip throughout Korea, where I put the iPad through its paces. A disclaimer: I estimate I used the iPad probably 25% of […]
