MID System Block Diagram
The mobile phone continues to revolutionize our everyday lives. It has transformed from a simple voice communicator to a personal multifunction, multimedia device. With the integration of new features, the ordinary phone is evolving into the Smartphone and Mobile Internet Device (MID). Consumers have become accustomed to experiencing high-quality video and full-page Web browsing at home. Increasingly handset manufactures are looking for ways to provide this same content experience on handset, taking advantage of the network bandwidth to deliver an optimized mobile web browsing experience.
Mobile technologies from Texas Instruments are delivering enhanced web browsing capabilities today – making it possible for consumers to view content in full-screen mode and enjoy content in any format on the Smartphone and Mobile Internet Device (MID) markets with a complete hardware and software platform. Leveraging the company’s experience in the mobile market, TI’s ARM™ Cortex A8-based OMAP™ 3 processors such as the OMAP3440 address the performance and power needs of the emerging MID market today. In addition, OMAP 3 processors today deliver exceptional multimedia features and a full Web browsing experience with large, vibrant displays. TI’s broad technology portfolio with the OMAP platform and mobile connectivity solutions, along with the OMAP Developer Network, elevate emerging Web 2.0 applications that were once confined to the PC domain into the more pervasive and ubiquitous mobile environment.
