The mobile operating systems that powers today’s hottest devices like the Apple iPhone 4,  HTC EVO 4G and Samsung Galaxy S are quite crucial for the experience they provide. However, while an operating system is what an actual consumer sees, what is going on under the hood is arguably more important. In fact, the brains of the operations (a smartphone’s processor) is what helps give modern day smartphones the ability to record high definition video, play graphic intensive games and multitask.

One of the biggest suppliers of these high speed mobile processors is none other than Qualcomm. You’ve probably heard the name before because the Qualcomm manufactured 1GHz Snapdragon mobile processor appears in hard hitting devices like the Google Nexus One, HTC Droid Incredible and HTC EVO 4G.

However, while Qualcomm has secured their spot as one of the world’s leading mobile processor manufacturers, they dont’ look to stop there. Reports have surfaced today that says Qualcomm is looking to enter into the Android smartphone market with a project they are internally calling Quadroid. According to these reports, Qualcomm will not only produce the processors and other mobile chips for these smartphones but also the exterior design for the smartphones as well.

Seeing how this is pretty much a rumor not much is to be said about when we will be seeing a Qualcomm developed smartphone. However, if this is something that peaks your interest be sure to check back as we follow this story.
