ATI has announced the availability of the IMAGEON 2260, a multimedia processor that brings high quality video and imaging capabilities to mobile phones. This solution enables the convergence between communication handsets and digital still cameras and video player/recorders. IMAGEON 2260 is a highly integrated multimedia co-processor that offers handset manufacturers the opportunity for significant power, space and material cost reductions.
The IMAGEON 2260 offers fully self-contained graphics, video and imaging capabilities to perfectly complement communication baseband solutions. It enables high-quality (high-resolution, high-frame rate) video playback, video recording and two-way video conferencing. Handset manufacturers will benefit from IMAGEON 2260's support for high-resolution (megapixel) camera modules, putting camera phones on par with entry-level digital still cameras.
IMAGEON 2260 optimized architecture unloads heavy processing tasks from the communication baseband, which results in higher performance and significantly lower power consumption as opposed to pure software solutions, said Olivier Brecheteau, Sr Product Marketing Manager, Handheld Products Group, ATI Technologies Inc.
IMAGEON 2260 is fully compliant with industry-led 3GPP standards (3rd Generation Partnership Project) and offers the following features:
-Support for high-quality MMS (Multimedia Messaging Services);
-Still picture capture and processing (JPEG encode and decode) with support for high-resolution (megapixel) camera modules;
-Video recording, playback or streaming up to CIF, 30 frames-per-second (Video encode and decode), plus simultaneous encode and decode for video conferencing;
-Advanced 2D graphics acceleration;
-Integrated frame buffer and LCD controller for space, cost and power saving; and,
-Exceptional visual quality and display features.
ATI's IMAGEON 2260 media co-processor is currently sampling. Mass production shipments will start in Q2 2004. Follow the download tab above to find out further details on the IMAGEON 2260.

ATI Powered Phones Almost Ready
it just goes to show the nokia really did piss all that money away on the Ngage, my samsung mobile has a bigger screen! and soon loads of phones will have far far better grafix! horray for ATi and may the ATi V Nvidia war long continue, its all gravey :) apparently....
ATI Powered Phones Almost Ready
hmmm... when advanced cel phons introducd better games than snake it was all the rage, then they added color, then they added internet, then cameras, then high res stuff... (thats in no particular chronologic order) now they will have that chip... then they will be capable of 3d gaming, then real time video conference... It just get 2 qustions to my mind... 1) what they do with all those obsoleet phones? 2) Whats next? Disk Tracy clock communicator thingy?... this goes way too fast...

i'd like one of those Vid-phone watch things... it'd be cool, or a Star Trek style communicator.

Looks like ATI are going full steam ahead. I wonder if NVIDIA will follow ATI and continue the card war within mobile phones.
ATI Powered Phones Almost Ready
I doubt it. Nvidia still cannot get the Mobile chipset for Laptops competitve with ATI solutions so i don't see them getting into this market until they can pull the Mobile laptop market first.
ATI Powered Phones Almost Ready
You've got a point. Looks like Nvidia will have to work hard if they want to stay compeditive with ATI.
ATI Powered Phones Almost Ready
sweet. ati just gave me an excuse to get a new cell.
ATI Powered Phones Almost Ready
both ati and nvidia will suck at phones or palm devices. if they want a portable gaming they should just make a handheld or work together with sony supporting the psp or nintendo etc. phones are for phones, gaming is different. games in phones are the 3rd or 5th reasons people buy a phone. nokia ngage sucks. without nokia's last attempt to promote the ngage, it will already be dead by now.
ATI Powered Phones Almost Ready
unless they use nvidia or ati for the graphics and imaging in the phones. but games will not do.
ATI Powered Phones Almost Ready
Ha a british company is the best at creating such devices. They created the ARM chip which is the most commonly used mobile chip in existance.Beat that you american scum!
ATI Powered Phones Almost Ready
ARM's days are numbered. And king Charles is gay.
ATI Powered Phones Almost Ready
by the way King Charles, when you said beat that you american scum, were you talking about another company, or were you talking about Canadian ATI.This is real good, it seams like there is more and more competition going into these cellphones.
ATI Powered Phones Almost Ready
nice links. looks like nvidia was 1st and ati just trying to copy nvidia.
ATI Powered Phones Almost Ready
"Looks like ATI are going full steam ahead. I wonder if NVIDIA will follow ATI and continue the card war within mobile phones."Nope. Looks like nVIDIA has been in the mobile phones, PDA and handheld devices long before ATi. Also Orange ([url removed] will use nVIDIA on their next SPV smartphones. Just for your information, SPVs are Microsoft Windows smartphones.nVIDIA is currently working with Mitubishi and Microsoft for the I-Mate.SPV Links:[url removed] Link:[url removed] Links:[url removed]

Whatever it is, Mobile chipsets from ATI have always been better then Nvidia's offerings. And Starr, ATI or Nvidia are not making games for Cell Phones. They are just suppling the chips.
ATI Powered Phones Almost Ready
ATI now has the best video cards. the best video card for laptops. and now cell phones. ATI rules
ATI Powered Phones Almost Ready
Yeah well it is fact that ATI dominates both desktop and mobile segments.Now what do you have to say about that NVIDIOTS!
ATI Powered Phones Almost Ready
As we speak Nvidia is dominating the phone segment since 2003. If you said ATI is dominating it, tell me how can ATI dominate the phone segment if it's not even finished making it yet. ATIDIOTS!
ATI Powered Phones Almost Ready
Mobile processors and phone processors are totally different. Telling some company dominates a mobile (currently laptops) market in a phone related forum is stupid. And I bet none of you fanboys have ever had an Nvidia or Ati (which hasn't even been released yet) based phones. You fanboys can argue about which card is the best for PCs and laptops, but you don't know shit about phones.
ATI Powered Phones Almost Ready
ati is currently working with motorola for the phone segment.nvidia is currently working with microsoft, mitsubishi, orange, siemens, dbtel, dell, hp, palm, philips, sharp and sony.
ATI Powered Phones Almost Ready
Well me and queeny support ARM then ATI.American industry, media and technogly already owns more than half the world so i will not support nvidia.For the british empire and the common wealth.
ATI Powered Phones Almost Ready
Nope. American technology doesen't own more than half of the world. Japanese technology does.British empire? Wake up, this isn't the medieval times.
ATI Powered Phones Almost Ready
You're the Idiot I did not mention Phones.
ATI Powered Phones Almost Ready
you did not mention phones? then get out from this forum IDIOT!
ATI Powered Phones Almost Ready
Medieval times the british empire did not exist.The japanese are mear puppets of the america, they can't even declare war on another nation if they were attacked!America own the world and we all know it!So stand up for freedom and never buy Nvidia again!
ATI Powered Phones Almost Ready
Damn you guys never stop insulting each other...
ATI Powered Phones Almost Ready
Ati phone aye... i think i wont be buying that phone, it'll struggle to play snake if its anyhing like the graphics cards..:P
ATI Powered Phones Almost Ready
"So stand up for freedom and never buy Nvidia again!"Ok that does it. It has reached the lowest fanboyism can get.
ATI Powered Phones Almost Ready
Why is it that every MGs forum always gets overrun by fanboys? Honestly, many of you people need to seriously grow up and get a social life (and at least half a brain). If you are not here to talk about phones, then LEAVE.And as for Nvidia dominating the market, I think thats a bit far fetched. Not that there is anything wrong with Nvidia. It will be interesting to see who wins the card war within phones.
ATI Powered Phones Almost Ready
I hope it runs Half-Life 2 :D
ATI Powered Phones Almost Ready
If you had such a rich socail life why are YOU on this.No answer will satisfy my question so don't bother!
ATI Powered Phones Almost Ready
"And as for Nvidia dominating the market, I think thats a bit far fetched."if we talk about phone, yes. nvidia is dominating the market compared to ati. they've been longer in the phone processor market than ati which only starts this year. and nvidia have partnered with dozens of companies like microsoft, mitsubishi, orange, siemens, dbtel, dell, hp, palm, philips, sharp, sony, etc. compared with ati which currently has only one partner in the phone market which is motorola.so yes, nvidia is dominating the phone market compared with ati.
ATI Powered Phones Almost Ready
I OWNED THIS CELLPHONE. IT WORKS LIKE SH*T. IT SUCKS THE LIFE OUT OF BATTERY. YOU CAN ONLY USE IT FOR ONE HOUR & THEN QUITS. SOMEONE NEED TO INVENT A BATTERY WITH SELF-GENERATING POWER.
ATI Powered Phones Almost Ready
Oh yeah i forgot about GAMECUBE!!!
ATI Powered Phones Almost Ready
Huh? What's GameCube got to do with all this? And to Anonymous at 15:7, Microsoft Windows phones are the most powerful phones to date! For a good example is the SPV by Orange. Even Bill Gates use an SPV (I hate Bill Gates but that shows how good the phones are). nVIDIA chips are the best in phones and other mobile devices like Palms combined with Microsoft technology. If your phone runs poorly check and see if it has the word Nokia on it. I'd ask you to check for an ATi logo on it but since the ATi phone hasn't been released yet, the best bet for lousy phones are Nokia.

nokia sucks
ATI Powered Phones Almost Ready
Mr Cheese, if no answer will satisfy your question, why ask it? You obviously thought hard about that post before you made it.
ATI Powered Phones Almost Ready
It was a theoretical question.It was to back up a point. This is commonly used around the world many thousands of times a day, yet you did not latch on to this!What a fool?
