Our other new core, the C55x, is the next generation of the world's most popular DSP, our C5000 line. It's ideal for end-user Internet devices because it uses 85 percent less power than the previous generation, yet it delivers five times the performance. This makes it practical to combine voice, video and data on new breeds of portable and fixed Internet appliances. OMAP enables independent software vendors to create applications that can be transported across any OMAP-compatible device. This enables consumers to change the functionality of their information appliances by purchasing new software, just as they buy software for PCs today.
Great technology is one thing, but end users only care about what it does.
TI's technology already has done a lot, so let's walk through the most promising end-equipment areas including wireless communications, cable and DSL broadband, and emerging Internet appliances. In wireless, we've partnered with companies such as Nokia to greatly improve wireless service. Today's phones are smarter, more powerful, and more convenient to use. We're shipping about 2 million DSP and analog chips to wireless handset makers every business day. And more than 60 percent of all digital wireless phones shipped worldwide have a TI DSP inside.
