AMD Shows OpenPDA at Linux World
Posted by Andy Sjostrom in "THE COMPETITION" @ 12:44 AM
Linux World has now ended. Most of media's attention has been focused around the SCO and Red Hat law suits, which I follow with great interest. However, AMD's demonstration of the Linux-based OpenPDA platform was picked up by some. AMD's reference kit sits on their Au1100 processor and the software platform and uses Trolltech's Qtopia user interface, esmertec’s Jeode Java Virtual Machine (JVM), and Opera's Web browser.
"The Mobile Handheld RDK running OpenPDA provides designers an example of a powerful, multimedia PDA hardware and software solution with a host of standard applications including: multimedia player, games, voice recording, image viewer, synchronization, browsing, and Java technology. In addition, OpenPDA provides a full Personal Information Management (PIM) suite that includes calendar, contacts, to do list, e-mail, and text editor programs."
