Qualcomm announced strong customer demand for its latest full featured
3G solution, the MSM6100 Mobile Station Modem (MSM) chipset and
system software. The highly integrated 3G CDMA2000 1X multimedia
solution supports the Launchpad suite of applications, enabling
the development of sophisticated devices that provide high-quality
stereo audio, high-resolution in-phone cameras, video recorder/players,
3D graphics for gaming, high-accuracy location tracking, as well
as many other features.
Currently, a total of eight handset manufacturers, including Curitel,
Kyocera, LG Electronics, Motorola, Samsung Electronics, Sharp Corporation,
Syntertek and Toshiba, covering 22 separate planned device designs,
have already begun to take receipt of shipments of the MSM6100 chipset
solution in order to support rollouts of these new devices to consumers
this year.
"We are pleased to see the level of excitement customers are expressing
about the MSM6100 feature support for 3G CDMA2000 1X devices," said
Sanjay Jha, president of Qualcomm CDMA Technologies. "The keen market
interest in the industry's most fully featured single chip solution
is a strong endorsement of our strategy to cost-effectively enable

feature set of Qualcomm's Launchpad suite of technologies, enabling
digital camera phones with support for JPEG compression and a dedicated
camera module interface. It provides streaming MPEG-4 video 15-frames-per-second
decoding and enables the creation of video clip e-mail messages
using the integrated real-time MPEG-4 15-frames-per-second encoding.
The Launchpad suite also offers MPEG-4 AAC audio decoding, a 2D/3D
graphics accelerator for advanced gaming applications, Compact Media
Extension (CMX) PC-quality MIDI synthesizer, Bluetooth capability
to enable wireless connectivity between digital devices, MMC removable
storage capability and a Java virtual machine with integrated Jazelle
hardware acceleration.
