KAWASAKI, Japan ? Aiming to seed a new class of video cellular phones, Toshiba Corp. this week will detail an ultralow-power MPEG-4 processor targeting third-generation cellular handsets that could ship in Japan early next year. Toshiba has recruited CAD supplier Zuken Inc. to help deliver, as early as this spring, other key components for wireless visual telephony systems to ride the wideband-CDMA nets that Japan will turn on in March 2001.
