Qualcomm confirms its Snapdragon processor will power ‘new generation of Windows Phone’ devices

We’d heard some rumblings ST-Ericsson may be moving in on its turf with Nokia’s Windows Phone devices, but Qualcomm has now reasserted that it’s still the major game on the town. Following the gigantic Mango announcement this morning, Qualcomm confirmed that Microsoft has chosen it to bring a “new generation of Windows Phone handsets exclusively featuring Qualcomm’s second generation Snapdragon mobile processors to market.” The company’s executive vice chairman, Steve Mollenkopf, further went directly to say that Qualcomm is “concerned with this next Windows Phone Mango release,” and that it’s going to “leverage the synergy of our highly integrated second generation Snapdragon solution and Microsoft’s Windows Phone software.” Leveraging synergy, what more could you ask for?
