HTC Adopts Texas
Instruments’ OMAP Technology for 3G devices
High performance, low power OMAP™
processors from Texas Instruments Incorporated will serve as the
engines for High Tech Computer Corporation’s next generation of
wireless devices.
By collaborating with TI, the Taiwanese manufacturer of Windows
CE-based devices expects to offer consumers a line of smartphones
with sleek form factors and wireless functionality, including
broadband Internet access, m-commerce, and PDA capabilities along
with e-mail access.
"We have been working closely with TI’s OMAP development
team through design reviews and architecture discussion," said
Peter Chou, vice president, Wireless Mobile Division at HTC.
"We plan to further this collaboration well into 3G and other
future wireless solutions."
First introduced in 1999, TI’s programmable DSP-based OMAP
architecture delivers advanced wireless Internet and multimedia
functionality, without compromising battery life, noted the company.
OMAP platform supports all 2G, 2.5G and 3G wireless standards.
Texas Instruments made the OMAP processor prototypes available
late last year and has currently started shipping samples of its
OMAP1510 product. The OMAP1510 will be available in volume
quantities during the third quarter of this year.
