We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Cellular phones",
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 Speedy access to latest Molex lines from
RS Components UK, which we summarised at the time by saying "All the latest connectors from Molex are now available from RS Components".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Mobile audio device integrates power management from
STMicroelectronics: "High-performance DAC meets the increasing demand for mobile music handsets to provide higher audio quality coupled with longer playing time".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Kycon
concerning its STX-3680 and STX-3790
- take a look at Stereo jacks suit smaller portable devices
which says: "Connectors have been developed to meet increasing market needs for higher performance in smaller size portable devices such as cellular phones and PDAs".
Take a look also at the news release from Linear Technology Corp, Boost chip powers OLED and backlight,
as well as Connector interface is handy for portables from TTI Europe,
and Cores come to structured ASIC portfolio from eASIC Corp.
