In talking with one of my colleagues last week, it was quite clear that he has a personal relationship with Alexa, the voice service that powers Amazon’s Echo. He talks to Alexa about the weather, flight delays, movie reviews, restaurant reservations, his son’s school projects and even what temperature he wants the room to be. My colleague readily admits the more he interacts with Alexa, the more she compels him to buy on Amazon, everything from music, movies, games, electronics and deals of the day to everyday household items. Alexa, in concert with Prime, has become more indispensable to his life than the once irreplaceable Siri ever was. Through Alexa, Amazon is creating an on-demand, personalized, signature experience that we will be talking about for years.

For years, Qualcomm has been a leader in the modem and application processor market for smartphones. However, Qualcomm suffered a major setback in 2015 when performance issues with its premium chipset, Snapdragon 810, induced some of its key customers to use their own SOC. Things improved for the company after the launch of Snapdragon 820 chipset, which had better performance than its predecessor. The company now plans to roll-out Snapdragon 821, which is expected to be faster than Snapdragon 820.
