Start with the news release Wi-Fi and Bluetooth coexist in PDA from Cambridge Silicon Radio, which we summarised at the time by saying "Using the embedded Wi-Fi supplied by CSR, Mio's P560 is able to browse the web, receive data updates, access Outlook e-mail and much more.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release West Bridge controller cuts Flash media costs from Cypress Semiconductor: "Controller supports up to 16 MLC NAND Flash devices, which cost approximately three times less than single-level cell NAND Flash devices for the same storage density.".
In July 2007, we covered the news from Silicon Storage Technology - take a look at Controllers take charge of solid-state storage which says: "NAND controllers allow system manufacturers to optimise NAND costs, availability and performance requirements in the face of fast-changing NAND technologies.".
Take a look also at the news release from Cambridge Silicon Radio, Single-chip Bluetooth raises range and datarate, as well as Dual port devices ease interprocessor comms from Cypress Semiconductor, and Digital TV baseband covers multiple standards from Frontier Silicon.
