Report: Qualcomm, Android could become the new 'Wintel.'

"According to a report by consultancy PRTM, of the 57 Android handsets from 12 different manufacturers the firm surveyed, 77 percent of them were running Qualcomm's chips. The firm terms the partnership 'Quadroid' and compares it to 'Wintel.' Wintel has dominated computers as Microsoft's Windows operating system coupled with Intel's chips became standard among PC makers...

Among the other insights from PRTM's report is that Qualcomm is speeding up its chip delivery cycle for Android phones. Another is that once Google releases a new version of Android, almost all handset vendors have the ability to produce a handset running on it within 16 to 20 weeks."
