TI Unveils New Wireless Chips
Posted by Janak Parekh in "HARDWARE" @ 02:26 PM
"Texas Instruments showed off several new chipsets Monday that it says will help handheld devices run graphics, multimedia content and Java applications as much as eight times faster than they can now.
The new chipsets incorporate the company's Open Multimedia Applications Protocol (OMAP), used by next-generation cell phones and other wireless devices to access the Internet.
According to TI, the chipsets include security technology and let mobile device makers increase battery life while maintaining security."
Some of the chipsets are including support not only for GSM/GPRS, but also UMTS/wCDMA. I wonder which, if any, will be used on the Smartphone 2002 platform.
