The XMM 6321 chipset features a XG632 dual-core ARM Cortex-A5 processor and AG620 wireless chip for 2G, 3G, WiFi, Bluetooth, and GPS.
 
Phones and tablets with the chip should support GSM networks and they should be cheap: Charbax from ARMDevices reports we could see phones priced around $30 and tablets priced at $40 — although Charbax has a habit of mixing up wholesale and retail prices.

Hopefully, these $30 phones and tablets would be available in North America, so people do not need to sign up for a 2 year contract to buy a phone for $200 instead of $500 or more without a contract.
 
A $40 tablet would be a great tablet for taking to school, work, outdoors, on the bus, planes, etc where stuff is more likely to get lost, stolen, and broken by a drop or water damage.
