A big Texas “congrats” to Motorola on their Droid Launch!

Our TI team would like to congratulate our friends at Motorola on today's official Droid launch. We're thrilled to be a part of this game-changing device, which BoyGeniusReport called "the most advanced Android device on the market as far as specifications go." Packed with top-notch technologies, Droid promises a new world of speed, performance and connections for the world's mobile consumers. We're especially proud of the TI chips helping Droid fulfill these promises:   

  • OMAP3430 processor produces intense performance: As Engadget's Chris Ziegler highlighted, "Android 2.0 [Éclair] clips along at a nice pace thanks to an OMAP 3 core." And, Android 2.0 is not the only Droid component that benefits from our proven OMAPTM architecture. The included OMAP3430 processor runs Droid's applications at lightening speed, supports multitasking capabilities and preserves battery power. Built with solid a solid ARM® CortexTM-A8 foundation, OMAP 3 processors stand out from the crowd of ARM-based processors by providing an optimal balance of CPU and multimedia performance along with extended battery life enabled by our SmartReflexTM power and performance management technologies. These benefits shine on the Droid.   
  • WiLinkTM 6.0 solution connects the dots: OMAP processing power pairs with connectivity support from our WiLink 6.0 solution to bring the Droid's interactive features to life. A single-chip mobile WLAN, Bluetooth® and FM solution, the WiLink 6.0 product makes quick connections, rich data transfers and other connected applications a snap to use on the Droid. What does this mean for consumers? Speedy new ways to stay in touch, update social media sites, share content and more. The WiLink solution's highly-sensitive coexist capabilities ensure robust connections that are best suited for each situation too, whether via Bluetooth or WLAN. Talk about smart!

Overall, the Droid is an impressive milestone that shows how industry leaders are not just dreaming up great new ideas - they're delivering them for consumers to enjoy first hand.
