MS and TI Team Up on Integrated Wireless Platform ~Maximum PC Microsoft and Texas Instruments today announced plans for a next generation (2.5G) smart phone solution, an integrated wireless platform that will support 2.5G GSM/GPRS-enabled wireless handsets and advanced mobile computing devices. This should allow for the consolidation of multiple communications and multimedia features and the creation of small but intelligent wireless devices. Combining TI's programmable DSP-based GSM chipset with Microsoft's Stinger smart phone processor (basically a stripped-down version of Windows CE 3.0), the new platform will deliver broadband-enabled wireless apps with increased speed and less battery drain. TI's announcement suggested that some of the consumer-oriented applications include secure e-commerce, mobile internet access and corporate email. In anticipation of wireless data bandwidth increases between 2.5G and third-generation communications, the product will be compatible with TI's Open Multimedia Applications Platform (OMAP) standard, which saves OEMs and applications developers the headache of having to reconfigure existing software apps to new hardware. "The next generation smart phones will harness new broadband wireless capabilities to enable a wealth of communications-centric, real-time multimedia applications," said Gilles Delfassy, a TI wireless veep. "By utilizing TI's high-performance, low power OMAP architecture, combined with Microsoft's software and applications expertise, consumers will enjoy new ways to stay connected." Volume production of the TI integrated chipset is scheduled for 2H 2001. -- Eko Sulistiono MIKRODATA & AntiVirus Media Web: http://www.mikrodata.co.id/ WAP: http://www.mikrodata.co.id/wap/index.wml This message contains no viruses.
