BREW is Qulacomm’s mobile platform which stands somewhere in between the high-end serving mobile platforms and the low-end serving minimalistic platforms. Till now many had assumed that the BREW was ancient history, but is seems like Qualcomm is getting some pretty decent attention from manufacturers and carriers alike. Always a good thing. Back in July, HTC let out that there will be a BREW-powered smartphone coming for its mid-range users. And now Sprint is in on the action with the announcement that it will be bringing its subscribers a BREW-based handsets ‘soon’. In its own words, Sprint is “planning to offer its customers additional device options by launching devices running Qualcomm’s Brew Mobile Platform™ (Brew MP).” While it isn’t official yet which manufacturer will be making the said handsets, HTC will definitely be one of them. The million dollar question is whether Sprint subscribers want this baby or not.

As per the latest article from Digitimes,there will be a little bit of a delay in the shipping of smartphones from the China-based company Compal to Palm. The reason cited is;
Shipments of Palm’s two smartphones will be delayed as Compal is waiting for Qualcomm’s new chipset solutions that will enable better performance, said the paper.
Now many Pre lovers are in tears, assuming that one of the two smartphones is the Palm Pre. Not so folks, for starters, the smartphones ordered by Palm to Compal are Windows Mobile phones and don’t feature the Web-OS platform. Also, the Palm Pre will be assembled by Chi Mei, small Taiwan-based manufacturer known for assembling Motorola handsets, not Compal. The Palm Pre won’t be running on a Qualcomm processor either, it will feature a Ti OMAP processor. So that ends the whole ‘Palm delay’ extravaganza. Happy everybody?
