??? LR2 Proof Several NEC Solutions Built On LongRun2 (6 Ratings) 60 minutes ago
Yesterday's PR from NEC talks about "High Performance Platform for Mobile TV, Music and Communications" and mentions the company's 'Medity solution' that is based on PlatformOViA: http://www.necel.com/news/en/archive/070...
<<Reference design kits based on NEC Electronics' application processor are available now. NEC Electronics is also developing new reference designs based on the company's MedityTM solution for 3G handsets.>>
1. Here is the reference page that ties Medity1 to platformOViA: http://www.necel.com/medity/en/
2. If you look at the Medity1 Chipset: http://www.necel.com/medity/en/chipset.h...
you see this:
"The application processor features a high-performance CPU(ARM926EJ-S) and DSP functions for sophisticated media processing. New clock control technology and power supply voltage adjustment on every domain optimally achieve low power operation in any conditions."
You will note that each of the components (the CPU, DSP, etc.) are basically cores built into an integrated chipset that incorporates LongRun2 technology.
3. As we can recall from this earlier PlatformOViA slide: http://www.c-direct.ne.jp/english/ue/pdf... (see Page 30) you see these same cores on top of LongRun2 from Transmeta.
4. So now you can conclude from the above slides that Medity (M1) and the MP Series (MP201 and MP211) as seen on this slide: http://www.necel.com/platformovia/en/int...
are all built on LongRun2!
I believe it is well worth the risk to hold onto this stock. IMO, royalties are not far off now.

Much fuss has been made about power efficiency, but the best of x86 power saving schemes is crude. They adjust the clock speed and the operating voltage of the entire CPU, and the selection of set points is small. Barcelona keeps this technique, but builds on it with inspiration from IBM and Transmeta. Barcelona blacks out power to individual portions of the chip that are idled, from in-core execution units to on-die bus controllers. This hasn’t made it into PCs before because it’s very difficult to manage light switches for several “rooms” individually and to make sure that, like a refrigerator light, whenever a door is opened, the light is on as if it’s been burning the whole time. Power savings from these schemes are dramatic. If Barcelona lacked this feature, it would still be a green CPU.

http://www.technospot.net/blogs/index.php/2006/12/05/pre-paid-computing-microsoft-india/#comment-140...
Microsoft’s pay-as-you go computing model, FlexGo could change the way hardware and software is bought and create a paradigm shift in channel business. To make computing affordable and curb piracy especially in merging markets, Microsoft is ready to run trials of pay as you go computing model in India this year.
Prepaid Computing What is it?
The pay-as-you-go model has been taken from prepaid mobile crads. As pre-paid mobile is success in India, Microsoft plans for it. The concept is simple, This model allows a customer to buy a PC with this model at around 50% of the charge.(rest is borne by finance company) .Then customer has to buy a pre paid plan that allows him to use all the functionalities of fully loaded windows XP. The pc has an embedded metering software that will take care of tracking how much a user has used the system. On exhaustion of the balance, The pc moves into a limited access mode. To resume using it consumer has to buy another prepaid card.
The Technology:-
Microsoft has been working with chip vendors to integrate this idea on chip level. Transmeta’s Efficeon, the first microprocessor to include support for FlexGo Instruction, has extra security feature and less power consumption.
AMD on the other hand has tied up with Transmeta to buy FlexGo - customized efficeon CPUs and then re brand them as AMD Eddiceons.
What does Flex Go contains ?
* FlexGo capable are configured to make FlexGo metering work.
* Provisioning server system this agent validates and accepts payment feeds by users and delivers time balance packets to PC’s.
* OS modifications allows OS to connect to FlexGo server.
* Metering policy enforcement this agent blocks access to pc resources when balance is exhausted and also gives indication when system is tampered.
Impact:
* Helpful for people who don’t intend to buy a pc right now. As they pay 50% now and pay only when they use it works.
* Can promote branded desktop and give a good competition to assembled desktops.
* It might be tough for Intel and Microsoft to co-work with thousand of assemblers on providing preconfigured PC and in this pricing scheme.
This model already has been tested in brazil and is a huge success according to Magazine Luiza which it claims to have met with encouraging success.In India Microsoft has identified ICICI, Lenovo, Bajaj Auto finance and Intel as initial partners. It plans for full fledged roll out of this utility in 12-18mnths.
However,I dont think this will be major hit in India.Computer prices going down and with so many internet conection providers its not a problem,Then why buy a PC which has prepaid features.Will it help the lower mass of people? Will it be adopted by Cyber cafes?.What do you think?

It also probably helped that McGuinty came to talk business rather than security. The Pakistanis crave more foreign investment but resent being lectured by westerners on terrorism.
It also helps to explain why Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty has been so warmly – some might say effusively – received in Pakistan after spending 10 days in India.
The Pakistanis are enormously proud people, but it is a pride mixed with an inferiority complex vis-à-vis their bigger and more successful neighbour, India.
India has more people (1.1 billion, compared to 160 million for Pakistan); its army is more powerful (although both now possess nuclear arms); and it has been more successful economically.
does anyone know when they will be back?
--
Trimax management and their engineering team have been invited to Pakistan in the third week of January by several groups to demonstrate its BPL technology. The Trimax team will accompany the Canadian High Commission, Ontario Premier, Dalton McGuinty and the trade delegation in for an ICT/Security Business Mission to Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad.

iPhone is cheap to make
From: http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/technology/archives/2007/01/19/iphone_is_cheap_to_make_claims_isuppli.ht...
You'll remember iSuppli as the company that worked out the cost of the parts in an Xbox 360 and showed how expensive the PlayStation 3 was to make. Now it has costed Apple's iPhone -- without having one to take apart. And it reckons the margin is around 50%. According to the press release::
iSuppli estimates the 4Gbyte version of the Apple iPhone will carry a $229.85 hardware BoM and manufacturing cost and a $245.83 total expense, yielding a 50.7 percent margin on each unit sold at the $499 retail price," said Andrew Rassweiler, teardown services manager and senior analyst for iSuppli. "Meanwhile, the 8GByte Apple iPhone will sport a $264.85 hardware cost and a $280.83 total expense, amounting to a 53.1 percent margin at the $599 retail price."
iSuppli claims it has "a high degree of confidence in its conclusions".
The disappointing thing is that the bill of materials doesn't include a CPU, and since the first few minutes of the unveiling, I've been wondering what the CPU is. iSuppli only includes an "application processor" priced at $18.50.
When asked what the CPU is, Apple refuses to say. So, does it have one, and if so, what is it?
If you are opening a book on the answer, the main contenders have been (1) the Acorn ARM chip (as used in the Apple's previous PDA, the Newton), and (2) some unannounced Intel chip, probably from the designers in Israel. These guys did the Banias processor (see my report from September 19, 2002) used in the Centrino package, leading Intel to abandon its line of US-designed NetBurst Pentiums and switch over. Rank outsiders could include a Transmeta chip or some in-house Apple design.
The Intel theory does have some appeal -- why else would Apple keep the processor a secret? However, it would mean that Apple took a big bet several years ago on Intel coming up with a secret x86 compatible processor with ARM-like performance per watt. That would be an impressive leap of faith on Apple's part. Especially for a company with a history of ridiculing Intel chips in advertisements that claimed the Pentium was toast.
Also counting against the Intel idea are denials from both Apple and Intel.
"Intel's is not the processor in the iPhone," a spokeswoman for Apple in San Francisco told Reuters by telephone, denying an earlier statement by a spokesman for Apple Germany who had said the processor was Intel's.
"We are not providing the silicon inside the iPhone," Intel spokesman Bill Kirkus told Reuters. "We are providing the silicon inside the Apple TV."
But if the iPhone is running what's claimed to be a version of Mac OS X at a reasonable speed on a $20 chip from PortalPlayer Inc, why bother putting Intel chips in Macs?

TMTA .9923 Bid, .9924 Ask strange games are played at the moment *g*
(TMXO) NOW? 25 years with an estimated value of 100 Million US for the initial hardware only.
At the same time MSI has initiated a Swiss Challenge where MSI provided the bases to the electrical Utility Emelmanabi the requirements for a bid to be tendered in the market to provide further AMR to their entire customer base approx. 190,000 customers. MSI anticipates that bid to be closed in late January 2007, with MSI being awarded this contract. Emelmanabi experiences an energy loss annually of 40 million US and growing at 10% per annum and therefore requires technology such as MSI has showcased/ deployed to monitor and control their electrical distribution and provide in real-time auditable billing of energy consumption in the form of digital data. The additional requirement was to be able to remotely disconnect and reconnect power to the transformer as well as to each customer connected to the primary power. The equipment must be ruggedized and be pole mounted or in an underground vault.
The contract will be for a term of 25 years with an estimated value of 100 Million US for the initial hardware only. The Company is excited to be able to provide this technology to Ecuador in helping to mitigate their electrical energy loss. This business model once installed will be a showcase for the rest of Ecuador and South America furthering MSI's opportunities to extend this technology to other countries and their utilities that have similar requirements.
Management is working to add to its business and is assessing adding to the business plan by partnering up or purchasing identified prospective companies that can deliver voice and data through wireless and satellite as well as emerging technologies to advance the company's Competitive advantage in the BDL sector. However the Company is also assessing more viable opportunities within the current market segment and beyond.

IP provider Transmeta Corp. has appointed Lester Crudele its new president and CEO, effective February 1, replacing Arthur Swift.
According to a Transmeta spokesman, Swift's departure was the result of a mutual decision between Swift and the board. "The board of directors decided it wanted a leader with more operational experience," Greg Rose, Transmeta's senior corporate communications director, said.
Crudele has served on Transmeta's board of directors since June 2005. His 30 years of experience in the semiconductor industry started at Motorola, where he was chief architect for several Motorola MC 68000-series microprocessors and served in a variety of management positions, most recently returning to Motorola in 1990 and serving as VP and general manager of its RISC Microprocessor Division from 1991 to 1997. Crudele also held management positions at companies including Compaq, Quantum Effect Devices, Banderacom, Quickfilter Technologies and MIPS Computer Systems.
And it seems that Transmeta will need strong leadership in the coming months: Last week, top-ranked MPU magnate Intel Corp. slammed Transmeta with a patent infringement suit. Intel's claim came in response to a similar suit filed by Transmeta in October. The company also was plagued with financial woes throughout 2006, reporting quarter after quarter of slumping profits, and saw former CFO Mark Kent resign in May.
