UK wireless electronics developers, Cambridge Silicon Radio (CSR), have unveiled a new development kit for their versatile Bluecore microprocessor. CSR’s Bluecore chip incorporates a microprocessor, display driver, DSP chip, and Bluetooth transceiver into a single 8mm square chip. All of this circuit consolidation will allow electronics designers to build smaller, cheaper, more versatile mobile devices that require less power. And since CSR works with big name manufacturers, like Apple, Nokia, and Sony, expect to see all of these features in your next mobile device. However, CSR has also released their Bluecore development kit to the general public with a price of $1,250; which means your average Joe Schmo could end up developing the next must have mobile device.
