The MSM6150 and MSM6550 are integrated, single-chip solutions that leverage the power of QUALCOMM's Launchpad(TM) suite of integrated multimedia technologies to maximize power efficiency in multimedia devices. As with all chipsets in the Enhanced Multimedia Platform, the MSM6150 and MSM6550 solutions are integrated with advanced capabilities, including:

* Camera: Up to 4.0 megapixel digital camera support for album-quality
digital images

* Video: Record at 15 frames per second (fps) Common Intermediate Format
(CIF) for camcorder-quality movies and playback at 30 fps CIF for
crisp, on-demand video streaming

* Graphics: 100k triangles/second, 7M pixels/second graphics
functionality for console-quality gaming and graphics

* Audio: 3D sound and MP3/AAC/aacPlus audio support for portable
CD-quality listening

* Performance: 225 MHz ARM9 processor for performance improvements
of up to 50% over the Multimedia Platform chipsets

* Connectivity: Mobile Digital Display Interface (MDDI) for reliable,
low-power mobile display functionality and camera connectivity and
integrated Bluetooth(R) 1.2 baseband processor for wireless
connectivity to peripherals

These chipsets will power future generation J2ME and BREW handsets. Running at 225MHz, they should be quite speedy even when compared to the current line running at around 140MHz.
