Motorola reckons it is completely revolutionising the development of multimedia mobile devices with its new Mobile Extreme Convergence architecture.

Motorola reckons it is completely revolutionising the development of multimedia mobile devices with its new Mobile Extreme Convergence (MXC) architecture, which will remove many of the current design limitations of affordable, advanced, full-featured mobile devices By totally redesigning the mobile architecture to combine functions, high-performance mass-market mobile devices can be developed affordably on a platform the size of a postage stamp - a significant jump over today's smallest approaches that are the size of a business card

The MXC architecture simplifies and cuts development times, drives new applications, increases carrier margins and speeds adoption of mobile devices by rethinking the architecture to eliminate current design roadblocks and reduce cost, complexity, size, power consumption and part count.

It will open new markets for the next generation of "smart" mobile devices and consumer electronics.

"With the Extreme Convergence architecture, Motorola's Semiconductor Products Sector has found a way to simplify the design of hardware and software and to re
