Platform Combines Rich Multimedia Performance With Powerful, Flexible Linux Mobile Development Environment for Mobile Phones and Entertainment Devices

Sunnyvale, CA., Barcelona, Feb. 12, 2008 — Mobile Linux company Azingo, announced today that Azingo Mobile will support the Texas Instruments’ OMAP3430 processor.   With availability expected later this year, this new multimedia-focused software/processor combination offers mobile phone and entertainment device manufacturers a comprehensive and cost-effective Linux platform for delivering rich, personalized and performance-optimized user experiences.  Azingo Mobile is currently available on the Texas Instruments OMAP2430 and OMAP850 processors.

TI’s OMAP platform provides a unique multi-engine architecture ensuring high performance, non-interrupted delivery of industry-leading voice, data and audio, multimedia applications with very low power consumption. The Azingo collaboration adds a complete mobile Linux platform that includes a highly configurable user interface and web 2.0-enabled mobile applications suite, an SDK for applications developers and mobile Linux engineering services - resulting in an extremely attractive, lower-cost platform for developing multimedia-centric mobile devices.

“This relationship is win-win for both companies,” said Mahesh Veerina, Azingo CEO.  “TI can offer its customers a powerful mobile Linux platform for the OMAP3430 processor, and we’re able to offer Azingo Mobile on one of the highest volume, most widely used processors in the market. We’re very pleased to be working with Texas Instruments to bring richer applications enabled by open source to mass market phones.”

Azingo Mobile will work with LogicPD’s Zoom Mobile Development Kit (MDK), a form-factor development platform that leverages the processing capabilities of the OMAP3430 solution while offering developers a more realistic system for development and validation.
