date: April 23, 2002

Moving to speed the development of next-generation 2.5G and 3G smart phones, Motorola today announced that its DragonBall MX1 microprocessor will port to all versions of the Symbian OS. The Symbian OS is an advanced, open-standard operating system specifically tailored to the emerging smart phone market and handset manufacturers' requirements for compact and rich functionality targeted to on-the-go mobile professionals. Motorola's support of the Symbian OS is expected to help customers shorten time to market in the design and development of wireless products that offer integrated data and voice services.

The DragonBall MX1 offers advanced multimedia capabilities and is designed for building high-performance and cost-effective wireless products, such as smart phones, digital media audio players, handheld computers and other mobile data/voice products. Additionally, the DragonBall family is part of Motorola's Innovative Convergence wireless platform portfolio that delivers comprehensive solutions incorporating voice and data functionality. These platforms combine chipsets and proven protocol software with development tools, reference designs, and manufacturing and testing tools to create 2G-to-3G silicon-to-software solutions.

"Motorola offers one of the most advanced applications processors available on the market today. The DragonBall family helps manufacturers to create compelling, data-enabled, mobile phones and devices with multimedia capability," said Mark Edwards, executive vice president of sales and marketing for Symbian. "The manufacturers who use DragonBall processors can now take advantage of the Symbian OS, the leading operating system for applications processors based on the ARM9 core technology, to deliver a wide range of wireless devices in a significantly reduced timeframe."
