Qualcomm Plans Chips for High-Speed 'World Phone'

Sinead Carew writes for Reuters:

Qualcomm Inc. expects to introduce chips by year-end for high-speed data phones that could work virtually anywhere in the world, making it easier for traveling executives to communicate overseas, its chief executive, Paul Jacobs, said on Wednesday.

Jacobs said Qualcomm is building phone chips that work on both EV-DO, a high-speed data technology used by U.S. operators Verizon Wireless and Sprint Nextel Corp., and another technology known as W-CDMA, which is dominant in Europe.
