It's no secret that Texas Instruments has been pushing to get its technologies into more cellphones for awhile now, and considering that even Nokia reckons that HD recording capabilities in mobiles is but a few years away, it's not too shocking to hear what TI busted out at Mobile World Congress. Reportedly, the firm has unveiled "a chip to support cellphones with mini projectors and another chip that would let users record high-definition video on their phones." After showing prototypes in the past, TI asserted that it had chips "ready for production" for pico projectors that could be integrated into a variety of handsets, while the OMAP3440 -- which would let consumers capture HD footage on the same device that gives those thumbs a workout -- will be available in Q2 for handset makers to test out.
Finally, I see HD comming to mobile devices :-D
With this and the nVidia chip, you will even have different flavors to choose from.... I'd say, next year
HD video on a phone would be awesome.
HD video would be pointless on a phone unless you're gonna hook it up to a decent HDTV or something of the like. How many of us actually view footage that we have recorded on anything BUT our phones? The screens are so small it would make the difference between standard definition and high definition material on a phone negligible. a pointless use of the spectrum that could be used for other, better solutions.
I thought TI was in jail?
Seriously, "Texas Instruments" needs to appear before its acronym.
No it doesn't...I'm betting 99% of the people who read these boards think Texas Instruments when they see TI. They are only one of the largest chip manufacturers in the world...haha
HTC多普达啥时候才会把OMAP850给废掉啊...
