We stopped by the Texas Instruments booth after they announced some pretty awesome integrations of their TI OMAP 4 dual-core processor, the exact chip used to power the LG Optimus 3D, and their partners had some pretty cool apps to show off. Leveraging the chipset, we saw an awesome 3D Gaming integration, effective video conferencing solution, and Skype – all running on a rather funkdified piece of hardware running Android 2.2.
The 3D Gaming was pretty exceptional in concept. The game itself was pretty basic and seemed to lack direction and polish, but it really shows you what is possible. The Phandroid Team could benefit from the video conferencing solutions and we were happy to hear the company behind them will be offering an API/SDK for 3rd party development.
And Skype…
I’m pretty excited about what these new processors and chipsets will enable on mobile devices and this is just a glimpse of what’s to come. Unfortunately the 3D doesn’t jump out at you by watching my video, but testing it out for the first time I think it’ll put a smile on your face. At least… that’s what happened when I first played with the LG Optimus 3D which is powered by the TI OMAP 4.
