Qualcomm’s MSM8960 Snapdragon S4 benchmarks pop up online
We put Qualcomm’s S4 development platform through its paces ( twice , no less) at CES , but shorn of the glitz of Las Vegas, does it have the oomph to wow us? Someone at the company loosed Nenamark 2 on the slate, producing a score of 54.90. Given the fact that its producing graphics for a 1024 x 600 screen, we’re excited to see it comfortably edge the Galaxy S II Skyrocket (54.1) and Galaxy Note (32.8) — with our mouths watering at the thought of what this 28nm CPU can do in a smartphone.

AT&T Pantech Element hands-on at CES 2012 (video)
The Pantech Element has been hanging around the rumor mill for quite some time, so it wasn’t much of a surprise when we saw it show up at the AT&T Developer Summit keynote earlier today. All of the specs were right on with what we’d heard before: 1.5GHz dual-core Snapdragon CPU, 8-inch TFT XGA display, 5MP rear camera / 2MP front-facing, 6,400 mAh battery for over 12 hours of high-use battery life and of course, waterproof with IP57 certification. We got a little clarification on what Pantech means by this, and it turns out that the tablet can be submerged in up to one foot of water for thirty minutes without batting an eye.

Kyobo eReader receives initial review, comes up short despite Mirasol display
If one of your e-reader’s components is great but the rest of the device is lacking, where does that leave you? The first review of the Kyobo eReader has arrived and while its Qualcomm-provided Mirasol screen is lauded, that’s about it for the good news. Depite the snazzy 5.7-inch touchscreen combined with 1Ghz SnapDragon CPU, WiFi and Android 2.3.5, the package falls apart due to its inability to load apps, subpar battery life and long load times.

Kyobo, Qualcomm make Mirasol color displays a reality, with the Kyobo eReader
Don’t look now, but Mirasol has just arisen from the dead. Today, Korea’s Kyobo Book Centre and Qualcomm jointly unveiled the world’s first Mirasol-coated e-reader, just a few months after CEO Paul Jacobs heralded the demise of his company’s color e-paper format. The device, known as the Kyobo eReader, sports a 5.7-inch, 1024 x 768 color display with 223ppi and touchscreen capabilities, runs Android 2.3 and is powered by a 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S2 CPU. Kyobo says you’ll be able to use the WiFi-enabled slate for “weeks” on a single charge, as long as you do so at decreased brightness, and for a total of 30 minutes per day. The eReader is available now for around $310, but only in South Korea. There’s no indication that it’ll be making its way to other markets anytime soon, but in the meantime, sate yourself with a portion of PR, after the break.

Qualcomm announces Snapdragon S4 Liquid mobile development platform tablet on The Engadget Show, we go hands-on (video)
At its investor conference earlier today, Qualcomm unveiled a variety of new Snapdragon processors to join its recently-announced MSM8960 S4 chip. But we got an exclusive first look at the 8960 in New York City this evening, in the form of a mobile development platform (MDP) tablet demo during The Engadget Show. The tablet the company had on hand isn’t much to look at — it’s not the slimmest we’ve seen, and it feels a bit clunkier than models destined for consumers — but its specs, which include an on-die LTE modem (the first of its kind — we were seeing download speeds of around 45 Mbps), dual 1080p cameras (and another two for 3D), seven microphones, a spattering of sensors and a handful of connectors make this the ultimate platform for Android developers. Not convinced? Join us past the break for a hands-on walkthrough with Raj Talluri, Qualcomm’s VP of Product Management, and stay turned for his segment from The Engadget Show.
