Authored by Mark Hefflinger on February 3, 2003 - 4:10am.
Dallas -- Chipmaker Texas Instruments announced on Monday that it has developed a new series of wireless chipsets for use in cell phones and other devices, which will enable cell phone users to download movies and songs, as well as surf the Internet at higher speeds. Dallas-based Texas Instruments' new chips can increase the performance of graphics and multimedia content by eight-fold while at the same time reducing the amount of power needed for such functions, lengthening a battery's charge. The company said it expects devices featuring the new chips to become available to consumers by the 2003 holiday shopping season.
