We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Cellular handsets",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Motor drive boosts vibrator efficiency from
Melexis, which we summarised at the time by saying "Single-phase brushless motor driver IC cuts power consumption and boosts reliability for handset vibration motors".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Base station design reduces component count from
Cambridge Consultants: "The HSDPA/HSUPA-compatible WCDMA design adapts an IC created for low-cost/high-volume handset applications to implement high-specification basestation radio".
In July 2007, we covered the news from Strategy Analytics
- take a look at Wireless demand keeps GaAs fabs flat out
which says: "Demand for SI GaAs bulk substrates increased by 29% year-on-year in 2006".
Take a look also at the news release from Nanoradio, Financing secures Wi-Fi expansion,
as well as Flash to dominate handset LED applications from Strategy Analytics,
and Wireless applications continue growth for GaAs from Strategy Analytics.
