Day 1

This year Intel would like to work trend Forum in San Jose California with its annual Intel Developer for the entire computer industry. Traditionally, you started this leisurely in a week full of technical lectures, presentations and demonstrations. The first day this was a sign of convergence of computing and communication, as well as the multimedia home.

ALLROUNDER: PXA800F and PXA262

In the context of Intel, for example, a Entwicklungungsboard of the all-round chip recently announced PXA800F 4 MB showed cache, Intel would like to see very much like at the end of the year in a wide range of mobile phones. The phone manufacturer MAXON has already expressed interest, and would like to can come up with the Maxon MX-E20, in the course of the year with a mobile phone with integrated camera. There are prototypes but still not to admire.

Already to the first cell phone prototype it has succeeded, however, with the XScale PXA262. This processor with 200 MHz is large color display with a 176 x 220 pixels and is designed to provide a talk time of up to five hours. As the operating system, the new Windows powered Smartphone is here used.

Portable media player

The portable media player (PMP) is an also pretty interesting matter, which were announced not all too long ago. In addition to working patterns also the Development Board waiting to be tested by the inclined visitors through its paces. All PMP is prototypes a strong XScale 400 MHz processor, a 20 GB hard drive and a 320 x 240 pixels large display common. In the fully charged state, nothing in the way is to be a four-hour video experience. To transfer the data on the PMP, optional USB are 2.0 or wireless LAN 802.11 b standard to choose. As the operating system, an operating system from Microsoft, in this case Windows CE comes here as well.NET use.

Especially the power management of PMP or it XScale processor is this notable. While everything is demanded of him when the video playback and thus power consumption correspondingly high fails, it falls off immensely when playback stops, is what is reflected also in the graphs for the power consumption.

Smart displays

All mobile devices which also mustn’t Miss smart displays, extra for the Microsoft code name Mira a Windows for smart displays has developed. The Special on the smart display is that it is small mini-computer which do not themselves carry out the actual computation. Can count on! So the small removable is responsible, smart display only for output, however, you do the work on a stationary computer is accessed by means of remote control and wireless LAN. So one is mobile in the House, without having to give up the computing capacity of a desktop system.

Where to get started, tomorrow first Prescott are demos expected, also we are already very excited about.
