What say, the technological revolution is The Leap! Do not have time, we arrive at an experience from after the Sony Ericsson has shown the world the first 12-megapixel camera, Idou, then Texas Instruments has already promised that the vehicles with the 12-megapixel cameras will be very soon, certainly not without its assistance.
As it became known yesterday at MWC'09 U.S. company has provided the first details on its newest platform OMAP4, which also focuses on smart phones. According to TI, in the OMAP 4 includes multicore processors Cortex-A9 from ARM, which has a capacity seven times higher than that of the most powerful of the world's smartphones. The idea is, mobile devices based on this platform should be able to record HD video in the resolution of 1080p, take pictures with a maximum resolution of 20 megapixel and play music in MP3 format for an entire week without recharging. While OMAP 4 exists in the form of two sets of circuits 4430 and 4440. Both include a dual-core Cortex-A9 processor with a frequency of 1 GHz and above, and the graphic chip DSP core. Theoretically, they could support the resolution WUXGA (1920 × 1200), so that mobile devices are built on their base, ideal for viewing videos resemble HD 1080p. According to TI, these devices can record video continuously for 4 hours. With regard to software, OMAP4 supports Windows Mobile, Symbian, all operating systems based on Linux, including Android and webOS from Palm.
Thus, as we have seen, OMAP4 aims for the same market segment as the Snapdragon MSM8672 from Qualcomm, namely smart phones and even Netbook. However, the processor at Snapdragon bit more powerful (its nominal clock speed - up to 1.5 GHz), but OMAP4 of energy efficient and can display graphics at a higher resolution. Moreover, the platform is able to decode even future formats of video at the hardware level, said Robert Tolbert (Robert Tolbert), product marketing manager for TI.
It should be noted that the famous TG01 smartphone from Toshiba is just based on Snapdragon, a model of Palm Pre (pictured) is not based on anything else but to OMAP3, so that manufacturers of mobile devices will not be easy given their preference for a particular platform. It is possible that OMAP4 will be implemented in Palm Pre 3, where such plans are available for Palm. The point is that the mass production of OMAP4 begin only in 2011.
