然后英华达跟Asus估计也快要发布类似的消息了.
启基准备08年3月份启动项目,大概在二季度发布产品,这样大概5个月时间里做完硬件,软件(linux kernel+ android
platfrom)开发.
让我们看看这个设备大致构思:
1. 使用linux操作系统
2.GSM + Wifi+BT
3.使用TI OMAP1710处理器
4. 2.5 inch 屏幕
5. 键盘
6. 200万象素的摄相头

可以看到,这款芯片有"双核",DSP+ARM core,这是TI强项;还包括了2D图形加速;此外还有
wilink,Navilink,bluelink,TCS modem chipset等外设支持...应该说,TI的整套方案还是比较成熟的。

A number of Taiwan handset makers have voiced varied views about
Google's Android handset platform, with Wistron NeWeb planning to join
the Android club soon. Inventec Appliances and Asustek Computer,
however, are not ready to make a commitment to the platform at the
moment, according to sources at the companies.
Wistron NeWeb, following in the steps of High Tech Computer (HTC),
plans to start designing an Android-based system in March, and
projects to begin shipping Android-based handsets to branded vendors
in the second quarter of 2008, said company sources.
Wistron NeWeb is featuring a Linux-based GSM/Wi-Fi dual mode phone
prototype, the GW4, at the ongoing 2008 Consumer Electronics Show
(CES) in Las Vegas. The GW4 prototype is built on MontaVista's Linux
platform and is powered by a Texas Instruments (IT) OMAP 1710
processor. The dual-mode phone also features a 2.5-inch touch-screen,
a QWERTY keypad, a 2-megapixel camera, and Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
connectivity, the sources detailed.
Inventec Appliances, presently, will continue to focus on the
development of Windows Mobile smartphones, and the company may support
Android in the future since it has already established Linux R&D teams
in Shanghai and Nanjing, according to company chairman Jackson Chang.
Asustek will also focus on Windows Mobile smartphones and the company
has no plans to enter the development of Android handsets in the near
future due to concerns about the supply chain in the Linux ecosystem,
according to sources at Asustek.
