If you've been closely tracking the development of Qualcomm's 1.5GHz dual-core MSM8660, you would've already seen
AnandTech's impressive set of
benchmark results back in early April. But of course, it'd be more convincing to actually see this chipset in action, so Qualcomm's latest videos of its
Mobile Development Platform should satisfy your curiosity. As demoed after the break, this Snapdragon's Adreno 220 is seen effortlessly handling in-page HTML5 video streaming, Flash video streaming, and 1080p playback. And as a sideshow, Qualcomm even put its current-gen single-core QSD8255 head-to-head with a rival dual-core chipset -- no doubt a Tegra 2 in an
LG Optimus 2x -- and easily won the Flash video contest. All of this might lure you into getting the MDP as your next everyday phone, but here's the bad news: this professional kit will cost you a dear $1,350. So unless you're feeling
very generous, you'd probably want to wait for the consumer devices to arrive in the summer -- think

Sensation (with GSM-flavored MSM8260, naturally),
Flyer, and
