Qualcomm is working on a miniature notebook and has two operating systems in mind for the end product - Linux and Windows Mobile 7. The bulk of the design will be done by Invetec, while the Linux-powered system will come with a Qualcomm 3G chipset for wide-area wireless access sans additional hardware, retailing for approximately $300, placing it well within the Eee PC territory. No view on when the notebook itself will be ready, but Qualcomm

executives promise that it will roll out before the year is by. As for the Windows Mobile 7 version, well, the notebook can’t be released until the operating system is ready, right? And Windows Mobile 7 won’t be ready until early next year at the very best, so go figure.
