Samsung, Infineon Demo Symbian Smartphone Design

Samsung Electronics and Infineon Technologies have announced a partnership to provide a smartphone system solution based on the Symbian OS. Samsung recently announced it was buying a stake in Sybmian.

The companies said the platform includes Samsung's recently announced System-in Package (SiP) Application Processor and a Infineon GSM/GPRS Class 10 modem. This platform uses the Symbian OS, TapRoot Systems' telephony software and PacketVideo's wireless MPEG-4 decoder and encoder solutions.

According to the companies, the centerpiece of the application environment is Samsung's System-in-Package (SiP), integrating an ARM9-based application processor (Samsung's S3C2410), 256Mb NAND Flash and 256Mb SDRAM. Samsung said Tte SiP's small package size (17x17mm and 1.4mm high) significantly reduces real estate and power. They said key elements of Infineon's small form factor modem solution are the highly integrated baseband controller E-GOLD+ V2, the RF transceiver SMARTi DC, the power management IC E-Power as well as a GSM/GPRS protocol stack.
