MOTOROLA BREATHES FIRE INTO PORTABLE HANDHELD MARKET.In a move to advance one of the company's global growth opportunities, Motorola, Inc.'s (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange : MOT (OpenView Managed Object Toolkit) An OpenView toolkit from HP for developing network management applications based on CMIS. The toolkit contains library routines that handle the transmission and receipt of CMIS requests and responses. ) Semiconductor Products Sector, the embedded Inserted into. See embedded system. mobile computing Using a computing device while in transit. Mobile computing implies wireless transmission, but wireless transmission does not necessarily imply mobile computing. Fixed wireless applications use satellites, radio systems and lasers to transmit between permanent objects such as buildings provider with cellular and personal digital assistant (PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) A handheld computer for managing contacts, appointments and tasks. It typically includes a name and address database, calendar, to-do list and note taker, which are the functions in a personal information manager (see PIM). ) systems expertise, has announced its alliance with Palm, Inc. (Nasdaq: PALM), to provide Palm OS licensees with the next generation of DragonBall microprocessors with ARM core-based technology. The alliance, part of Palm's new Palm OS Ready Program, benefits the entire community of Palm OS licensees and software developers, and enables manufacturers to design ARM core-based multimedia products to meet consumers' high expectations and active mobile lifestyles. "As the number one microprocessor for handheld computers A computing device that can be easily held in one hand while the other hand is used to operate it. The Palm devices are a popular example. See Palm, smartphone and palmtop. , Motorola's DragonBall family has been at the forefront of the rapidly growing portable devices market with Palm's products for six years," said Omid Tahernia, vice president and general manager of Motorola's Wireless and Mobile Systems Division. "Our continued alliance with Palm will take the relationship even further, enabling us to develop and deliver innovative consumer products for the Palm OS market." This alliance positions Motorola closer to new mobile systems trends and the opinions of software developers, contributing to the fast delivery of technology and service. "Motorola has been a long-time Palm partner, and we are very pleased to be working with that team in new ways," noted Alan Kessler, vice president and general manager, Platform Solutions Group, Palm, Inc. "We expect this new program to be a win for all constituencies involved." According to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. Tahernia, Motorola is pleased to work with Palm toward this common goal to deliver rich multimedia capabilities to Palm OS licensees and developers while providing ease of use, long battery life and high performance. The DragonBall MX1 facilitates the use of data applications, e-mail and the Internet in wireless computing environments, and empowers Palm OS software developers to write programs for a wide range of wireless applications. "The next generation of portable wireless products opens a new era in interoperability The capability of two or more hardware devices or two or more software routines to work harmoniously together. For example, in an Ethernet network, display adapters, hubs, switches and routers from different vendors must conform to the Ethernet standard and interoperate with each other. among devices and collaboration among people, changing the way we work, share information and interact with each other," said Tahernia. "GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) The first high-speed digital data service provided by cellular carriers that used the GSM technology. GPRS added a packet-switched channel to GSM, which uses dedicated, circuit-switched channels for voice conversations. phones, PDAs, smart phones -- Motorola's wireless embedded solutions have been the backbone of the phenomenal success of these products over the past decade. But the most compelling part is only beginning to take shape. Our ARM core-based DragonBall MX family leverages our system-on-chip expertise to meet converging needs for wireless and multimedia applications." The DragonBall MX1 expands Motorola's comprehensive portfolio of wireless embedded solutions and provides customers with "one-stop shopping" for smaller, lighter, lower-cost mobile products. Motorola has a strong legacy of serving both the cellular industry for nearly 30 years and the PDA market since its inception in 1995. |
