[![Qualcomm's Snapdragon S4 Pro quad core dev tablet now available for $1,299][1] ][2]

For those keen beans out there who want to get an early taste of Qualcomm's first quad-core chipset, news just came in that starting today [BSQUARE][3], the usual distributor of Qualcomm dev kits, is offering the [Snapdragon S4 Pro][4] mobile development platform for a hefty $1,299 (and just for reference, the MSM8960 "Fluid" smartphone MDP is currently sold for $999). Similar to the dual-core ["Liquid"][5] slate we tinkered with last year, this new APQ8064-based MDP sports the same 10.1 WXGA display as well as 2GB LPDDR2 RAM, 32GB of storage space and Android Ice Cream Sandwich. But obviously, developers will be able to take advantage of the two extra asynchronous CPU cores plus the new Adreno 320 graphics engine, which is said to pack three to four times the processing capacity of the Adreno 225 in the current top S4 lineup. If you're in no hurry then stay tuned for our hands-on later today.
