Press release, staff reporter, DIGITIMES, Taipei

Universal MicroElectronics (UMEC) is a global leader in the video phone manufacturing industry and has been dedicated to video communication for the past 10 years.

Starting with H323, MGCP to current SIP protocol, UMEC has a complete video/media phone product lineup to satisfy all customers' video communication needs. In order to fulfill the strong demand at Computex, Taipei 2010, UMEC will launch its most advanced mobile Media Communicator, a series of 5-inch (MP292), 7-inch (MP202) and 10-inch (MP203) touch panel devices running the Android OS with plug in modules including WIFI/BT, HSUPA, GPS, digital TV, FM radio, video phone, media player, e-book/e-reader, DPF, among others to meet different market segment.

UMEC noted that with the worldwide Internet infrastructure maturing, video communications will be the trend in future communications, especially on Android platform, where video apps will be a potential killer for developers.

The company's ICP (information communication product) media communicators based on the Android platform are built around the company's own core technology and video communications know-how to help differentiate such products from products from its competitors. In terms of power, the UMEC multi-task handling processor runs up to 1GHz (depending on module) and can help users who are not satisfied with a single task machine.

However, UMEC's ICP lineup will not be limited to the Android platform. The company is developing products for the Meego and Chrome platforms as well. At the end of this year and early next year, UMEC will roll out ICP devices based on Meego or Windows 7 operating systems and built around an x86 processor.

The company will be exhibiting its products at Computex in Hall 1, 2F Area H, Booth 308310, 409411.
