http://focus.ti.com/general/docs/wtbu/wtbuproductcontent.tsp?templateId=6123&navigationId=12762&contentId=29993&DCMP=WTBU&HQS=ProductBulletin+OT+wilink_6

"TI's WiLink� 6.0 mobile platform is a complete hardware and software offering comprising proven, carrier-quality mobile WLAN, Bluetooth� and FM cores integrated into a single chip. The WiLink 6.0 single-chip solutions are manufactured in a 65-nm CMOS process and use TI's DRP� technology to deliver low-power, small form-factor and low cost requirements of handset manufacturers worldwide. Both solutions support Bluetooth Specification 2.1 + EDR, and provide FM transmit and receive functions to turn the handset into a personal area broadcast device."

Texas Instruments has developed a series of chips designed to work with their OMAP processors that pack a lot of features into one chip.

I could see that being very useful in a device from Symbol technologies. I personally wouldn't want it. The GSM radios make my other electronics buzz enough. :wink:
