Hello this is John Donald I am ARM’s roving reporter for you at the 2009 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.

Hi this is John Donald ARM’s roving reporter at the 2009 Consumer Electronics show. I am talking to Kevin Kendora from Samsung. As I understand Kevin Samsung TVs are very interesting things with Yahoo widgets on Samsung digital television which like the ad we are running on our ARM1176 processor but can you tell us what are the benefits to consumers? Why do I care about widgets? And can you show me since it’s probably easier to show us than talk about it.

Rumored Video is everywhere. You would like to see HD video at that. So why not on the mobile device we like to carry everywhere. Compressed video processing takes a lot of processing power. on Phones we already have a lot of functions being managed by processors, yet we need long time between charges. What processors can handle all that! OMAP 3430 from TI is reputed to be one such gadget. Palm Pre already uses it, so does models of Sony Ericsson SmartPhones. Apple is rumored to be considering it for the next upgrade. So what is it like!!

Okay so what I want to show you today is what ARM have been doing in graphics over the past few years and what we have seen is an evolution in the user experience on devices embedded devices I will show you a couple of examples from handsets from LG and also some concept work that we have been doing with an ARM.

This is an example implementation for the ARM11 MPCore.

It is quite difficult for a designer to select a suitable one from hundreds of microcontrollers for his project.

The STK600 is our new, complete starter kit for AVR 8 and 32-bit flash micros.

This is eXfusion from Tumbleweed, Norwegian game company.

We are just going to give a quick update on some AVR tools. So lets start right away with DB101.

This article introduces SmartLEWIS MCU, a single chip with an ASK/FSK multi-band Transmitter for the sub 1GHz ISM frequency bands and an integrated 8051 microcontroller.
