20 Days @ Qualcomm, HYD

20 days over here at Qualcomm, Hyderabad. My work is going at good pace, and my mentor Mr. Uttam Pattanayak is very helpful and knowledgeable person. Other than him even the other employees are very friendly. We play Table Tennis together, have chats about cricket matches, and whole lot of experience which you gain by interacting with these guys is splendid.

Today especially we interacted a lot with other teams since there was Tech Day of BREW Team and the event was named as Resonance '08 with the theme "Watch...Listen...N'joy!"

Yeah and we interns really watched, listened and enjoyed a lot. We got a Cap with Resonance '08 written on it as we submitted which product we liked which were displayed by the teams.

So what does this team do? All sorts of entertainment products, then some ideas which at least i dreamt about. Let me briefly tell you about them,

1) Tagging images clicked by your mobile phone with the GPS. (Esp. liked this idea and according to me it was best one)

2) Application by which sound from a sender can be varied according to sender's coordinates, speed and orientation with respect to receiver. You could feel the experience of real time sound!

3) A software by which you can change how your mobile phone corresponds when you get a call or SMS. Like changing the vibration type, ringtone (when it should actually ring like after 5 sec of getting a call), then animation played while you get a call, LED blinking etc.

4) RTSP on mobile phone.

5) Video Call (uses 3G deployed in UK and Japan).

6)Biometric recognition in phones.

7) Byte based A/V sync.

Today also came to know that Qualcomm actually makes API for many things like ones listed above, and companies like HTC, Samsung, LG, Spice, Reliance etc., also called OEM here, uses them by building a GUI over it.

I really would like to work in that team, if Qualcomm offers me 8 Sem internship.
