Reuters: Amazon Interested To Purchase OMAP Processor Division From Texas Instruments

(GSM Insider) - Early before, there are rumours stated that Texas Instruments set to quit smartphone and tablet market. But Texas Instruments clears the air and denied that rumour. On the latest rumours, it is suggested that Texas Instruments set to sell of its mobile Processor division to Amazon.

Texas Instruments' OMAP mobile processor is the main processor for Amazon's Kindle eReader and tablets. It is logic that Amazon really interested to takeover the processor division and this is surely makes them a real player in the tablet and smartphone market.

If Amazon successfully acquired the mobile processor division of Texas Instruments, it will provide no other better chance for them to enter the smartphone market. This will definitely cut the costs especially the processors are made by own subsidiary. This is the golden moment for both Amazon and Texas Instruments. We hope that Amazon smartphone coming soon.  [source]

Goodbye OMAP. Texas Instruments No Longer Interested In Mobile Processor

(GSM Insider) - It is a surprise news for many manufacturers after Texus Instruments announces that they are no longer focusing on the smartphone and tablet business. Recently, the Amazon Kindles and Barnes & Noble Nooks are two latest tablets that powered by Texus Instruments' OMAP processor.

Off course this is a shock news! With Nooks announced yesterday, but the processor maker decided to quit the market. Perhaps it will slightly influence the consumers. However, Texus Instruments assured that they will continue to assist current customers.

"We believe that opportunity is less attractive as we go forward," Greg Delagi, senior vice president for embedded processing, said during a webcast of the meeting.

"TI made it very clear they no longer want to be in the business of proving application processors for smartphones or tablets," said Longbow Research analyst JoAnne Feeney. "What remains uncertain is for how long they'll support customers."

Delagi said that TI is "reprofiling" its investment in wireless for embedded customers and that the company's research and development profile for OMAP "needs to look different."

Since Texus Instruments no longer interested in the tablet and smartphone market, we shall wish them good luck ahead of their embedded processor business.  [Reuters]
