Qualcomm, Intel and most of the companies involved in mobilecomputingandwireless all agree on one thing: Embedded wide-area broadband is the way to go for notebooks, UMDs and consumer appliances.
But it's happening across industries, a creative conjoining of mobile-computing brawn, faster wireless speeds and data-crunching in the computing cloud.
The collaboration between the X PRIZE Foundation and Qualcomm will bring together experts in technology usability, wireless sensors, cloud computingandmobile health to accelerate the convergence of these fields.
