Lenovo Mobile has selected Esmertec's Jbed solution as the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), for its major commercial TI- and Broadcom-based platforms.

The first Jbed-powered handsets under the Lenovo P768 Victory brand, are expected to hit the Chinese market in Q1 2007.

OEMs are increasingly requesting pre-integrated JVMs on their platforms as it enables them to reduce time to market for their products and ensure meeting the evolving Java requirements from operators.

By pre-integrating Esmertec's Jbed Java solution on Lenovo Mobile's platforms Lenovo Mobile will leverage these benefits, and at the same time bring innovative mobile handsets with advanced multimedia features, such as games, to the Chinese market.

"Delivering differentiated handsets with increasing levels of functionality is top priority for OEMs today in order to remain competitive", says Joe Burke, Esmertec VP Sales in APAC.

"Our reliable and high performance pre-integrated solution will allow Lenovo Mobile the flexibility they are demanding for next-generation handsets, and we look forward to supporting a global player, like Lenovo Mobile, in delivering further mobile multimedia handsets to the market".

As a leading provider of JVM solutions for mobile handsets, Esmertec's software has been commercially launched within four of the five leading handset brands worldwide, and on leading original design manufacturer's platforms worldwide (ODMs).

Bringing Lenovo Mobile into the growing stable of Esmertec customers is a great benefit to the continuous enlargement in Esmertec's market share in this business.

As of 30th September 2006, Jbed has been deployed in a cumulative total of more than 76 million mobile devices.
