We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "OMAP technology",
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 kit for wireless/multimedia devices from
Mistral Software, which we summarised at the time by saying "The OMAP2430 starter kit is a software development and device prototyping platform for wireless/multimedia-based applications and devices based on the OMAP2430 application processor".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Framework enables multimedia handsets from
Sasken Communication Technologies: "Application framework has been successfully integrated onto TI's OMAP-Vox platform".
In December 2006, we covered the news from Sasken Communication Technologies
concerning its LoCosto single-chip value platform
- take a look at Sasken powers affordable multimedia phones
which says: "Sasken Communication Technologies has announced that Sasken's application framework ARIA has been successfully integrated on to TI's 'LoCosto' single-chip value platform".
Take a look also at the news release from Sasken Communication Technologies, Application framework fits LoCosto-based handsets,
as well as Technology centres go beyond the cellular from Texas Instruments (April 2006-),
and Software speeds switch to Windows CE 5.0 from Mistral Software.
