'Qualcomm Inc. (Nasdaq:QCOM - news), a wireless technology company, on Monday said it had begun sample production of cell-phone chips that incorporate both phone functions and a range of advanced multimedia capabilities like high-resolution photography and video capture.
San Diego-based Qualcomm, whose CDMA (news - web sites) standard for wireless networks dominates in the United States and broad swaths of Asia and Latin America, said its MSM6150 and MSM6550 chips were designed for low-power wireless multimedia.
The chips support digital cameras up to 4 megapixels, video recording at 15 frames per second and playback at 30 frames per second, MP3-quality audio and two-way video telephony.
They also support the Bluetooth short-range networking standard and offer what Qualcomm said was a performance boost of as much as 50 percent over its past multimedia products.
The company has singled out advanced phones with color screens, consumer-grade cameras and other multimedia functions as its major growth driver in the coming years. Of late, it has signed a number of deals to license advanced audio and graphics technology for its chips.' Source - Qualcomm Sampling Multimedia Chipset
