The United Daily News says the part production will ramp up to where WPG will be producing "several million" chips per month. While not necessarily connected to the supposed contract, the firm is expected to boost its revenue between 5 and 10 percent in the spring and ... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/04/23/wpg.ships.2k9.iphone.parts/ Thu, 23 Apr 2009 11:40:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/04/14/2009.iphone.supplier.leak/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0904/iphone3g-3.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />The companies responsible for manufacturing parts in the next major iPhone release have potentially been named by industry contacts of DigiTimes that also predict ship dates and numbers. The Taiwan-area site reinforces its previous claim that OmniVision is making a 3.2-megapixel sensor for the Apple handset's camera and now says that Largan Precision is making the rest of the imaging unit.

The 32-bit chip is as featured as the earlier Cortex-M3 but has a small enough number of circuit gates and other optimizations that it consumes just 0.085mW of energy and is estimated to have a footprint the size of a much simpler 16-bit processor. The shift lets companies make small media and comm... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/02/23/arm.cortex.m0.processor/ Mon, 23 Feb 2009 12:30:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/10/21/bmw.and.nxp.smart.key/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0810/bmwsmartkey.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />NXP and German automaker BMW today revealed a prototype of what they claim is the first true smart car key. The pocket-sized device holds both wireless communications and a security chip that let drivers store information that can be sent to nearby devices without much risk of a security leak. Owners could pay for public transit and road tolls or have rented cars that remember a regular driver's... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/10/21/bmw.and.nxp.smart.key/ Tue, 21 Oct 2008 14:05:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/06/12/nxp.intros.4g.mobile.modem/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0806/nxp.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />NXP Semiconductors today announced it's set to launch the world's first 4G mobile modem, called the Nexperia Cellular System Solution PNX6910. The modem uses soft architecture to achieve claimed download speeds of 150Mbps and 50Mbps upload speeds. When it launches, it will be capable of supporting the LTE, HSPA, UMTS, EDGE, GPRS and GSM networks in mobile data devices, says NXP.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/06/12/nxp.intros.4g.mobile.modem/ Thu, 12 Jun 2008 20:40:00 GMT
