Nokia and graphic chips designer ATI Technologies Inc. said today they had started strategic collaboration to develop multimedia mobile devices. ATI and Nokia are now working closely together to drive high quality multimedia experiences such as music playback, 3D gaming, mobile TV, and video for users worldwide.
Working to drive the complexity out of multimedia development, ATI and Nokia will promote open standards and provide integrated hardware, software and tools. ATI aims to provide a dedicated tools chain and software development kit (SDK) for developers in the fall of 2006, and both ATI and Nokia will also hold a series of joint workshops in the second half of this year to showcase the environment to key developers.
"Our role is to enable all content, from ultra-high quality music playback to 3D gaming, and we'll jointly guide and support the members of the content development community as they focus on creating amazing user experiences," said Paul Dal Santo, Vice President and GM, Handheld Products, ATI.
