Qualcomm Technologies annouced that it’s going to release a Tablet of its own made, with its latest Snapdragon 805 32-bit processor chipset on board. This Snapdragon tablet will be available for developers only and priced at $800, shipping by the End of this Month.
While it may look like a very enticing proposition considering its price to performance ratio, the tablet’s isn’t made to be a consumer device. It’s called a Development Tablet for a reason mostly because the average user doesn’t know what to do with half of the technology stuffed into this powerhouse. The tablet’s sensor package comprises accelerometers, a gyroscope, a compass, ambient light sensors, temperature, pressure, and humidity sensors, all managed by a dedicated 600MHz Hexagon signal processing chip.
