2GHz Motorola Android Phone In 2010?

on 06/10/2010, filed in Home > CellPhones

Think that the Nexus One is pretty fast with its 1GHz Snapdragon processor? According to Motorola CEO Sanjay Jha, the company is hoping to come up with a 2GHz Android-powered smartphone, and even going so far as to claim that such a device would be on the market by the end of 2010. Which processor wasn’t specifically mentioned, but with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon line supposedly only reaching 1.5GHz this year, some folks speculate that a 2GHz NVIDIA Tegra chipset could be a possibility, or a variant of ARM’s dual-core Cortex A9. Granted, processing power isn’t the only important feature of a smartphone, but we certainly aren’t going to complain if a powerful device is offered to us.

Android: Android is the mobile operating system from Google. The software was originally built by a company called Android Inc, that was purchased by Google in 2005. From its modest debuts, Android has become a powerhouse that powers not only smartphones and tablet, but a host of other less high-profile devices and gadgets. Although Android is not a community-driven project, Google does release the source code as open-source under the Apache license. You can follow Ubergizmo on Android with Google Currents.

ARM: ARM usually refers to the company ARM holdings, which is now famous for being behind the processor designs of the large majority (some say 98%) of the smartphones in the world. The ARM Architecture is a set of instructions based on the idea of RISC (reduced instruction set computer) which says that reducing the number of instructions to the most basic enables faster execution of each instruction. ARM Licenses the instruction set or complete processor design to its clients, which includes Nvidia, Qualcomm, Marvell, Freescale, TI, ST-Ericsson and many others.

Motorola: Motorola is an American telecommunication company that has been split in two: Motorola Mobility (now a Google company) and Motorola Solutions. Motorola Mobility now focuses on handsets and set top boxes, while Motorola Solutions works on infrastructure and enterprise products. Motorola Mobility's best products are the Motorola RAZR M, RAZR HD, and RAZR Maxx HD. In Europe, Motorola has partnered with Intel to build the Motorola RAZR i.
