Intel Announces New Flash Data Integrator Software for Internet Phones and Handsets Intel® FDI 3.0 Software Improves Memory Utilization in Phone.com Microbrowser, Other Applications SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 23, 2000-- Intel Corporation today announced its newest version of Flash Data Integrator Software, Intel® FDI 3.0. The software helps designers enable handheld devices to handle the complex features and demands of Internet data storage. Intel® FDI 3.0 enables developers to accommodate data intensive wireless applications such as the storage of Java applets, files transferred over Bluetooth(TM), microbrowser cache and voice recognition tags. Intel® FDI 3.0 software and Intel flash products together allow developers and OEMs to add more features and functionality while simplifying design, lowering costs and reducing time-to-market. ``Handset designers are faced with managing the quantity and size of data emerging in next-generation Internet phones and wireless devices,'' said Curt Nichols, general manager, Flash Products Group. ``Wireless device developers who want to add new features, like Java-based games or voice commands and memos, can support these sophisticated designs while saving on board space, battery usage, cost and design time. This is critical to the demanding and fast-growing wireless/handheld market segment.'' Phone.com, Inc. has designed its UP.Browser® microbrowser, currently licensed by more than 35 wireless phone manufacturers worldwide, to be optimized for Intel's FDI 3.0 software. This improves the capability of a mobile phone to store and access larger amounts of Internet-based information while enhancing data management capabilities. ``Because Internet functionality is a key feature on mobile phones, Intel and Phone.com have worked closely to ensure the compatibility of FDI 3.0 and the Phone.com(TM) UP.Browser microbrowser,'' said Jeff Damir, group vice president, Device Product Group for Phone.com. ``This combination of Intel's data management software and Phone.com's UP.Browser microbrowser will improve memory utilization and minimize the integration time and effort for wireless device manufacturers.'' Intel® FDI 3.0 eliminates the need for EEPROM and can reduce SRAM requirements to save overall system cost, power and size. The software allows Read-While-Write functionality to be deployed on both low- or high-end OEM platforms, and when combined with dual-partitioned silicon, maximizes overall system performance. For use in real-time embedded applications, Intel® FDI 3.0 has an easy Application Programmers Interface that supports storing parameters for EEPROM replacement, data streams for voice recording, Java/native code for direct execution and downloads from a packet data network. The 3.0 upgrade adds packetized data storage, code management, support for dual-plane and burst/page mode operation to enhance product performance.
