UWB to Have a Profound Impact on Future Mobile Device Communications
Wireless USB, based on the WiMedia Alliance's Ultrawideband (UWB) common radio platform which is promoted by USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF), is slowly garnering attention from mobile device manufacturers as it has exhibited efficient power consumption. It is capable of transmitting data up to 480 Mbps at distances up to 3 meters and 110 Mbps at up to 10 meters. It is gradually being implemented in game controllers, digital cameras, portable media players (PMPs), and laptops. The bluetooth Special Interest Group has also announced that the next version of bluetooth would be based on Wimedia's UWB common radio platform. more

Wholesale Price of GPS-Enabled Handsets to Fall under $200 by 2010
Presently, most handsets with integrated GPS are smartphones or high-end feature phones, with wholesale prices in the range of $250 to $500. However, chipset manufacturers now have solutions in place that will permit the integration of GPS in handsets at lower costs, and provide significant improvements in terms of accuracy, time-to-first-fix, and reception in indoor environments. As a result, the wholesale ASP (Average Selling Price) of GPS-enabled handsets will fall under $200 by 2010. more
