Qualcomm and Microsoft to Provide Developers with Snapdragon-Based Windows on ARM Test PCs

Qualcomm Incorporated QCOM today announced that its Snapdragon™ processor will be joining Microsoft Corp.'s MSFT Windows on ARM developer seeding program. Qualcomm is working with Microsoft to provide test PCs to select developers in order to test and optimize apps for forthcoming Snapdragon-powered Windows on ARM PCs and tablets. This invitation-only program will combine a pre-release version of Windows on ARM with next-generation, high performance Snapdragon S4 test PCs. These test PCs are not representative of commercial form factors or the final Windows on ARM experience; they are designed to give developers early access to building and testing Windows Metro style apps on Qualcomm's latest technology.
