Will we be looking at Windows Phone 7 devices powered by Qualcomm’s dual-core SOC? It seemed so. Following the big Mango announcement this morning, Qualcomm confirmed that Microsoft has chosen it to bring a “new generation of Windows Phone handsets exclusively featuring Qualcomm’s second generation Snapdragon mobile processors to market.”

The company’s executive vice president, Steve Mollenkopf, further went on to say that Qualcomm is “excited about this next Windows Phone Mango release,” and that it will “leverage the synergy of our highly integrated second generation Snapdragon solution and Microsoft’s Windows Phone software.”

Yes, finally more powerful chips are coming to the WinMo stable to give a good boost fighting with dual-core Android phones.
