I saw this at Modaco.
a new chip called Atlas M. It has GPS, BT, Camera. What happen to WiFi? This could be interesting if ever to come out.
GPS and camera all in one! woo hooo...
It's PPC ready btw.
-----------
The Atlas-M chip architecture is based on an industry-standard 240MHz ARM9 in parallel with a 120MHz DSP core. In contrast to a RISC-only approach, the embedded DSP enables the Atlas-M to optimize RISC intensive multimedia and communications tasks on the DSP, resulting in lower power consumption and reduced applications processing requirements.
Using dedicated hardware and DSP firmware, the Atlas-M incorporates advanced functionality such as full 1.3M pixel CCD/CMOS interface, processing & compression, 16-Channel Global Positioning System (GPS), and Bluetooth™ baseband processing.
