Qualcomm makes European in-roads with HTC and the Google phone

Us chip giant Qualcomm has made a significant entry into the European market through the G1 phone from Google, made by HTC and using its MSM7201A dual core chip.
Ironically Qualcomm also promotes a full stack of software including applications for its silicon (through the Brew software), although none of this is being used in the G-phone.
“The launch of the T-Mobile G1 is a breakthrough moment for Linux-based open mobile application platforms,” said Paul Jacobs, chief executive officer at Qualcomm. “Qualcomm’s ability to tightly integrate our chipset hardware and software has helped to make the Android platform a reality. Our close relationship with T-Mobile, HTC and many other OHA members was instrumental in achieving this milestone and will allow us to bring products to market faster and spur continued innovation in mobile applications and services.”
As part of its work with the OHA, Qualcomm has optimized the Android software by integrating it with Qualcomm’s MSM7201A—a single chip, dual-core solution that combines high-speed processing, hardware-accelerated multimedia capabilities, 3D graphics and built-in, multi-mode 3G mobile broadband connectivity for an optimal wireless experience.
Qualcomm worked with HTC on the design and development of this first Android-based device. “HTC and Qualcomm have a long history of working together on groundbreaking mobile handsets," said Peter Chou, president and CEO of HTC. "The new T-Mobile G1 is another example of this close relationship and our commitment to cutting-edge innovation.
Qualcomm is also working with other OEMs to develop handsets that operate on the Android platform as it works to expand the wireless ecosystem to meet the growing demands of an increasingly mobile population.
