Intel Targets GSM And GPRS Networks
Next week Intel is going to announce new chips for GSM/GPRS devices that it hope will give market leader a Texas Instruments a run for its money. Intel hopes the the new mobile chips, code-named Manitoba, will help them replicate the success of they've had in the PDA market with the XScale chips. Given Intel's relationship with Microsoft, I'm sure Manitoba will chips will be used in future Windows Smartphone and PocketPC Phone Edition devices. And at some point I'm sure we'll see Manitoba chips borrow from the upcoming Centrino products and incorporate Wi-Fi support.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
