Pathpartner, the company I work for, will be showcasing our Android based mediaphone and 3D Graphics solutions @ CES 2010 . If you’re going to be there, visit our stall and check out our demos : south 4, Booth No 35614.
There’s also a Youtube channel with a couple of videos of our solutions.
The mediaphone demo runs on an Always Innovating Touch Book thats powered by an OMAP3530. The mediaphone multimedia is using hardware accelerated decoders & encoders available on the OMAP.
The advantage of using Android for the mediaphone, is that it provides a ready, open source framework for creating rich UI. There were a lot of challenges with Android’s existing multimedia framework that the team at pathpartner was able to overcome.
One of the guys at work has a couple of screenshots on his blog.
We’re also showcasing our full software OpenGL ES 1.1 library. The library is intended for resource constrained devices which dont have a GPU. The demo video here, runs on an OpenMoko Neo Freerunner. The OpenMoko uses a ARM920T based Samsung SoC thats clocked at 400MHz. The device is running Angstrom based on a 2.6.28 kernel. There’s no X11 and the EGL version here, directly draws to the framebuffer. In the video, apart from the khronos demos, you can see some of the clutter tests that are working with the library. OpenMoko has a 480×640 display and the initial khronos demos are running at QVGA (320×240).
