Nvidia is thinking small: It wants to be the graphics processor used inside devices running Windows Mobile 5.0.
On Tuesday, it announced design references to work with Intel's XScale mobile chip. Intel and Nvidia recently announced an alliance pairing Nvidia's graphics technology with Intel's third-generation mobile XScale processor family, code-named Monahans, to enhance applications on mobile devices.
"Next-generation devices based on the Windows Mobile 5.0 operating system will have specific demands, both for application processing as well as the acceleration of the multimedia content within those applications," said a statement from Barry Evans, general manager of Intel's Applications ProcessorBusiness Unit.
Microsoft's Window Mobile 5.0 is quickly taking over across smart phones as a popular choice. Palm has even conceded to Window Mobile 5.0's demand and offered the OS as an option, making it available on its Treo 700w.
