Qualcomm today announced that it has begun shipping its next-generation SnapDragon processors for smartphones. The two new modules — one for HSPA+ and one for EV-DO Rev. B — have two processor cores that run up to 1.2GHz. Qualcomm says the SnapDragon processors support 2D/3D graphics acceleration, support for Open GLES 2.0 and Open VG 1.1 acceleration, 1080p high-def video playback, integrated GPS, and support for 24-bit WXGA 1280 x 800 displays. Qualcomm says the chips also support low power modes for improved battery life. Qualcomm expects the chips to be used in smartphones and netbooks.

We won't see anything materialize on a smartphone in less than 2yrs. With that said, don't attempt to hold your breath.
