SiRF Technology Inc. (makers of the SiRFstar chip line, amongst
others) and Intel (makers of everything else) have just signed a
license and joint development agreement to collaborate on products
which the companies hope will "help location and wireless connectivity
become more mainstream in next generation mobile devices." As part of
the agreement, SiRF will license some of its technologies to Intel,
but the company will also co-develop new products which will be
destined for Intel-powered gear like mobile phones and "mobile
internet devices." So what does this mean for us? Well, we're probably
about to see a lot of "you got chocolate in my peanut butter"
scenarios, like GPS operability hardwired into Intel chipsets -- which
will pretty much guarantee the mainstreaming of GPS, and open a lot of
very interesting doors.
