So has Motorola. <br /><br />The two companies' membership - and high-level appointment - was announced yesterday. Some 33 other firms pledged allegiance to MIPI and its goal of defining a standard set of features offered by handheld device processors. Anyone who builds their systems to MIPI specifications will be safe in the knowledge they can throw any MIPI-compatible CPU from any vendor into it. <br /><br />MIPI was formed last July by ARM, Nokia, Texas Instruments and STMicroelectronics. It based its initial version one spec. around TI's ARM-based OMAP processor."
