(Excerpt today) Intel is also working to enable the next generation of wireless communications devices that will accelerate the delivery of wireless applications and services that
take advantage of voice-and-data communications over the Internet. Ron Smith, Intel senior vice president, and general manager of the Wireless Communications
and Computing Group, introduced a new program designed to help developers build and market wireless applications, services and devices based on the Intel®
Personal Internet Client Architecture (Intel PCA). The newly formed Intel PCA Developer Network offers wireless companies development, technical and
marketing support -- including access to more than 300 software design tools -- for building cell phones, personal digital assistants (PDAs) and other mobile
Internet devices and applications supporting Intel PCA.

Smith also highlighted the importance of Intel's flash memory solutions in these wireless devices. Intel StrataFlash® memory technology has earned more than
650 design wins this year alone in cell phones, PDAs, set-top boxes and other applications. Intel StrataFlash memory offers a cost-effective, single-chip
solution for code execution and data storage, using an innovative multilevel cell technology that makes it ideal for Internet phones where high density and low cost
per bit are important.

``Cell phones that combine voice and data applications require significantly larger amounts of flash memory and Intel StrataFlash provides twice the density in the
same space at a lower cost,'' said Smith. ``We've shipped more than two billion megabits of Intel StrataFlash memory to date, and we expect that number to
double in the next year.''

Intel also introduced the Intel® Flash Data Integrator (FDI) version 4, the latest version of Intel's flash memory software that manages code, data and files when
combined with Intel flash memory solutions. This particular version of the FDI software serves as a file manager for devices using Intel StrataFlash memory,
increasing performance for data storage operations of both code and packet data.
