Fabless chip designer MediaTek has joined the Open Handset Alliance (OHA) to support the Android mobile device platform developed by Google, according to a company announcement.
"As an OHA member, MediaTek strives to provide device makers and partners with multimedia-rich chipset solutions, efficient services and experienced technical teams that differentiate our Android-based solutions, " says Jeffrey Ju, general manager of wireless communication business unit for smartphone at MediaTek.
MediaTek is looking to enable cost-effective Android-based smartphones through the provision of full system solutions that can further reduce the barrier to entry for broader world-wide penetration of smartphone products, the company said in a press release.
Android-based smartphones built with MediaTek's solutions are expected to hit the markets in November 2010 at the earliest, according to an estimate from industry watchers.
