TXN is the future.........."Unveiled last May, TI's programmable DSP-based OMAP has established itself as a leading standard for delivering multimedia applications and wireless broadband data services through next-generation wireless Internet handsets, communicators and advanced mobile computing devices. In conjunction with TI's recently announced programmable TMS320C55x (TM) DSP, OMAP achieves advanced wireless Internet and multimedia functionality, without compromising battery life essential to wireless communications devices. OMAP is software compatible with TI's world-leading 'C54x DSP, which is currently integrated into more than 60 percent of today's digital wireless handsets. The OMAP platform is designed to support all 2G, 2.5G and 3G wireless standards and is available to original equipment manufacturer (OEM) customers and Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) for the development of new applications in the wireless communications market. "Sony's selection of TI's OMAP further reinforces its position as the de facto standard for the next generation of wireless devices," said Gilles Delfassy, Vice President, Texas Instruments, Worldwide Wireless Communications. "TI's expertise in programmable DSP-based platforms for wireless communications end-equipment will allow Sony to offer leading-edge solutions and capabilities. We are delighted to continue TI and Sony's over- three-decade relationship, and further expand our co-operation with Symbian." Sony has selected TI's DSP-based OMAP and Symbian EPOC software platform in an ongoing effort to implement Memory Stick storage and data exchange technology into Sony's wireless phones. "
