Intel and HP Announce Intel StrongARM Processor to Power Newest HP Jornada PDA
SANTA CLARA, Calif. & PALO ALTO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 6,
2001--Intel Corporation and Hewlett-Packard Company today announced
that the Intel® StrongARM(1) processor will power the new HP Jornada
560 personal digital assistant (PDA) series. The newest member of the
HP Jornada family will also use Intel StrataFlash® memory to provide
high-performance memory capabilities. The HP Jornada 560 PDA series
enables users to work efficiently and effectively while running a
variety of business, multimedia and Internet applications/a on the
device's Microsoft(1) Pocket PC 2002 operating system.
In addition, Intel and HP announced plans to work together to
bring voice communication and next-generation wireless applications to
upcoming HP handheld products. To merge phone and data processing
features, HP will support the Intel® Personal Internet Client
Architecture (Intel PCA) initiative. Intel PCA is a development
blueprint for building wireless handheld communications devices that
combine voice communications and Internet access capabilities.
``Intel has designed its Intel StrongARM processor and Intel
StrataFlash memory technologies to optimize power consumption and
performance in wireless handheld devices,'' said Peter Green, general
manager of Intel's Handheld Computing Division. ``We look forward to
collaborating with HP to bring devices and applications to market that
help users fully realize the benefits of advanced wireless networks.''
``The HP Jornada 560 PDA series offers mobile professionals a
variety of options to maximize performance,'' said Kok-Khoon Lim,
general manager of HP's Jornada organization. ``The Intel StrongARM
processor provides a strong balance of performance and power to
quickly and efficiently run a variety of applications. We also see
significant value in Intel's architectural approach with Intel PCA for
delivering next-generation wireless voice and data devices.''
The combination of Intel StrongARM and the innovative Intel
StrataFlash memory enables HP Jornada 560 PDA series users to take
advantage of the full benefits of Microsoft's Pocket PC 2002 OS and
other multimedia applications. The Intel SA-1110 applications
processor typically dissipates less than one-half watt, greatly
extending battery life for handheld devices while providing powerful
performance. The balance of power and performance is available for
image viewing, video and audio record and playback, speech and
handwriting recognition, and for business applications such as
personal information management, word processing and spreadsheets.
HP also chose Intel StrataFlash memory to store both application
and operating system code in the newest member of the HP Jornada PDA
family. Intel StrataFlash memory offers a cost-effective, single-chip
solution for code execution and data storage, using an innovative
multilevel cell technology that makes it ideal for Internet phones and
PDAs where high density and low cost per bit are important.
