The new OMAP 4, plus support for 1920×1080 content, will make it possible to take photos at 20 megapixels of resolution, and according to the company, has been designed for the future, providing enough power to work with what you miss. His heart is formed by an ARM Cortex-chip dual-core, a programmable multimedia engine based on TI C64X DSP, and a SGX540 PowerVR graphics processor .
If you are wondering what kind of phones you could end, the answer is everyone. Officially, OMAP 4 is compatible with Linux operating system (Android and Limo, for example) in addition to Symbian and of course, Windows Mobile. Looks like NVIDIA could already be thinking about lowering the prices of its Tetra platform.
