This paper presents a system architecture that allows users to interact with embedded systems located in their proximity using Smart Phones. These phones have the unique feature of incorporating short-range wireless connectivity (e.g., Bluetooth) and Internet connectivity (e.g., GPRS) in the same personal mobile device. This feature together with significant processing power and memory can turn a Smart Phone into the only mobile device that people will carry wherever they go. tech news

As the convergence of communications, computing, and content speeds ahead, it is easy to conclude that these three elements will come together into a single, powerful ultimate device that gives access to a wealth of information and services. This paper describes that instead of a single ultimate super device, one can expect to see many small families of linked devices that are designed to perform specific tasks in specific situations. tech news

TouchStar needed to develop a Windows CE and Intel StrongARM-based mobile computing platform. Intrinsycs embedded technologies were instrumental in developing TouchStars new Touch PC, providing customers with new and versatile applications that can be remotely monitored and centrally managed. By collaborating with Intrinsyc, TouchStar was able to bring a new Touch PC to market in less than six months, approximately twice as fast as TouchStar would have been able to do using internal resources. tech news

A large organization that produced hand held devices needed to develop an embedded systems device driver for their magnetic stripe reader. Wipro Technologies who foresaw that mobile computing for portable devices would be the emerging technology of the Internet age offered its services to this company. Since the operating system was supposed to be WIN CE, Wipro's expertise with RTOS for embedded systems was very beneficial. Concerted endeavors at understanding the technical documents provided and improving on the existing domain knowledge were the two main approaches followed by the Wipro team to ensure successful completion of the project. tech news
