| JBlend in the first commercial handset Aplix Corporation announced today that its JBlend Java platform is included in the first commercial OMAP 2 processor-based phones in the world market. The Texas Instruments (TI) OMAP2420 application processor power these new FOMA 3G handsets from NTT DoCoMo. JBlend has been a leading supporter of TI's OMAP 2 processor through a variety of combined efforts between TI and Aplix. As an example, in TI's Developer Village at 3GSM World Congress 2005, Aplix demonstrated Java 3D contents powered by JBlend and Mascot Capsule V4 from HI Corporation running on an OMAP2420 based on Linux. TI's OMAP2420 was selected to provide advanced multimedia capabilities for the new FOMA 902i series 3G handsets from DoCoMo. Additionally, all 902i series 3G handsets utilize the JBlend product from Aplix for the DoJa platform jointly developed by DoCoMo and Aplix. These currently available 3G handsets represent the first commercial handsets on the market using OMAP 2 processors. TI's OMAP2420 includes both ARM Jazelle (Java hardware accelerator), as well as Imagination Technologies PowerVR MBX (2D/3D graphics accelerator). JBlend utilizes both of these underlying acceleration technologies to improve the overall user experience of Java applications. "We are very pleased with the TI OMAP 2 processor optimizations Aplix made to create a powerful Java solution for FOMA phones, " said Avner Goren, TI worldwide director of marketing, Cellular Systems. "We have known Aplix to be a leader in Java solutions for mobile phones, and we anticipate more collaboration with Aplix on future TI OMAP processor-based platforms utilizing their leading JBlend platform." write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Networking News :: home page |
