미 Microsoft Corp.(와)과 미 QUALCOMM Inc.(은)는, 차세대의 스마트 폰 개발을 향한 플랫폼에 관해서 제휴했다( 뉴스 릴리스).
Microsoft사의 OS인 「Windows Mobile」를, QUALCOMM사의 휴대 전화기를 위한 칩 세트 「MSM」시리즈와 조합한 플랫폼을 휴대 전화기 메이커 전용으로 제공한다.미국에서는 미 Palm사의 「Treo 650」등의 스마트 폰이 인기를 끌고 있지만, 이러한 고기능 기종의 개발을 노리는 기기 메이커에의 채용을 목표로 한다.
QUALCOMM사가 고기능 기종 전용으로 개발한, 듀얼·코어 구성의 마이크로 프로세서등을 사용하는 칩 세트 「MSM7XXX 시리즈」로, Windows Mobile를 실행할 때의 개발 환경의 서포트등을 포함한다.CDMA2000 1 xEV-DO 및 UMTS의 모뎀 기능을 가지면서, 수백만 화소의 카메라 기능이나, 3 차원 그래픽스의 묘화, GPS 기능을 갖추는 휴대 전화기등에서의 이용을 상정한다고 한다.QUALCOMM사는 2006년 후반까지, MSM 칩 세트로의 Windows Mobile 5.0의 서포트를 진행시킨다고 하고 있다.2007년에는 대응 단말이 시장에 등장한다고 전망하고 있다.
Microsoft and QUALCOMM to Revolutionize the Next Generation of Smartphones
Collaboration Integrates Support for Windows Mobile Operating System on QUALCOMM Chipsets
REDMOND, Wash., and SAN DIEGO ? May 04, 2006 ? QUALCOMM Incorporated and Microsoft Corp. today jointly announced a collaboration to enable the porting of the Microsoft Windows Mobile operating system to QUALCOMM＇s Mobile Station Modem (MSM) chipsets. The result of the companies＇ collaboration will enable device manufacturers to develop affordable, feature-rich and attractive Windows Mobile-powered phones with MSM chipsets while shortening their product development times. Support for the Windows Mobile platform on QUALCOMM＇s highly integrated MSM solutions also gives users extended battery life while running a wide variety of business and entertainment applications, such as Microsoft Office Mobile and Windows MediaR Player Mobile, along with third-party offerings.
“Having support for Windows Mobile on QUALCOMM＇s MSM chipsets will bring a familiar software experience to the next generation of smaller, lighter phones with more appealing form factors,” said Dr. Sanjay K. Jha, president of QUALCOMM CDMA Technologies. “Our customers will be able to more quickly design cost-effective and innovative devices that harness the power of our Convergence Platform dual-processor solutions.”
“We know that mobile operators are eager to attract and retain subscribers with an affordable portfolio of Windows Mobile-based devices. More and more of their customers want capabilities such as mobile e-mail and Office productivity programs in a familiar and easy-to-use software experience,” said Pieter Knook, senior vice president of the Mobile and Embedded Devices Division and Communications Sector Business at Microsoft. “QUALCOMM＇s innovative hardware platform coupled with our versatile software experience does just that. It helps device makers and mobile operators sell a broader range of mobile devices that generate increased revenue.”
Microsoft and QUALCOMM are fully integrating and testing support for the Windows Mobile operating system on Convergence Platform 7XXX-series MSM chipsets from QUALCOMM, which feature a dual-core architecture with an integrated ARM11™ applications processor and ARM9™ modem processor for superior performance. The testing and integration speeds time to market by enabling handset manufacturers to more easily develop Windows Mobile-powered devices featuring the Convergence Platform MSM chipsets by removing some custom development work that would otherwise be required. Additionally, device makers can take advantage of the CDMA2000® 1xEV-DO and UMTS modem features, as well as the hardware-accelerated multimedia capabilities, multi-megapixel camera support, 3D graphics and Assisted-GPS engines from the Launchpad™ suite of technologies integrated with Convergence Platform MSM chipsets.
QUALCOMM is expected to begin offering support for Windows Mobile 5.0 on Convergence Platform MSM chipsets in the second half of 2006. In addition, Microsoft will incorporate a new Board Support Package and Radio Interface Layer for QUALCOMM＇s Convergence Platform solutions into future distributions of Windows Mobile. Smartphones leveraging MSM solutions with Windows Mobile are forecasted to be available in 2007.
