We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Handset design",
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 Development suite unites key technologies from
ARM, which we summarised at the time by saying "Enables developers to use a single set of tools from architectural exploration, through SoC design, system bring-up and the deployment of hardware and virtual platforms".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Programmable devices enable mobile differentiation from
QuickLogic: "Owen Bateman of QuickLogic explains to Laurence Marchini why customer specific standard products are made for the mobile market".
In May 2007, we covered the news from Fractus
concerning its GSM antennas
- take a look at Custom antenna enables handset miniaturisation
which says: "Swedish handset manufacturer Neonode has used a custom-designed miniature internal quad-band GSM antenna in creating its ultracompact Neonode N2 handset".
Take a look also at the news release from ARM, Kit provides early start on games development,
as well as Customisable controller enables smartphone concept from QuickLogic,
and Chipset helps LG provide 3G for all from Qualcomm.
